I am not a leftie and I am not an extreme rightie. I guess I am a moderate, but my trouble with Sarah Palin is not that she isn't smart, but that she seems too impulsive and I feel she isn't very polished, for lack of better words.

Everyone is entitled to her own opinion, but I wouldn't choose her as a close friend. I think she has guts. I think she has her own style, but she is not speaking to me, or pushing my right buttons.

I don't think she is quite old enough to have aquired enough life knowledge. I think her family is kind of at sixes and sevens. We have raised a mentally challenged child and know what time and dedication that job is all on it's own.

It can be argued that none of these things can or should be considered as a detriment to running for the highest office in the country, but it is a detriment to me.

All votes matter. All voters matter.

Oh boy, here I am in political again.
