I found the whole Palin thing a sad commentary on American politics. And an even sadder indictment of John McCain, who until he so obviously caved to those on the extreme far right of the party by choosing Palin, probably would've gotten my vote. No, Sarah Palin is little more than a caricature...and I don't particularly care for that art form.

By the way, with all that is happening in our country and the world...the fiscal crisis, the killing of bin Laden, the apparent inaccuracy of us thinking that Pakistan was an allie, the stalemate in Afghanistan...where is John McCain anyway? I thought he was supposed to be an elder statesman, a political leader of our country. It's as if he's disappeared into the Arizona outback for all the leadership and counsel he's providing his colleagues in the Congress and the country. His abandonment of the pulpit his experience and reputation might have provided him, letting the likes of Bachmann, Beck and Trump speak for the conservative cause is more than disappointing.
