It's pretty evident Sarah Palin will not go on any televised show (Meet the Press, etc.) because she is not qualified to answer their questions; and when she gets flustered, her neck gets red & blotchy--just my observation). My husband commanded a small air force reserve base that had more reserve members than the total number of Air National Guard members in Alaska. BTW, the Guard in Alaska has problems meeting their quota of maintaining their number of Guard members. The two-star general there is "in charge" of the Guard members, except for when there is a crisis within the state of Alaska (then Palin would take over).
