That's why Huckabee did so well (pastor, counselor, Governor, rock musician, writer, small business owner, and now TV commentator). Palin was a good second-in-commnand, being co-owner of a fishing company (small business) and experience as mayor and Governor. Senators Brownback and Thompson would also have been good choices - there was just too much intelligence on the primary tickets, and cross-over democrats voted for the candidate least likely to succeed.

I think any of the gaffs he happens to make are just normal mistakes people encounter when they have to speak a lot while having to think through at lot of problems at the same time. (Luckily, Palin doesn't have this problem) His sense of humor is a great plus - the government can take itself too seriously at times. I support and voted for Obama, but I think that he sometimes can push a little too hard with the "Office of the President Elect"; An office that has no real power. Any mistakes Biden can make verbally can't be any worse than "My fellow prisoners" or "I can see Russian from my house."

Most of the media treated her as a Presidential candidate running against Barry, but she ran as Vice Pres, against Biden, who was more windowdressing than any woman could be. His empty rhetoric was less intelligable than W's, and his poll numbers are lower. He served his purpose (to make Obama look legit) and will now fade to obscurity, while Palin's star will continue to rise for years to come.

I am glad you can laugh at yourself. Mrs. Palin is a hot mess!! She should go back to Alaska and raise her family. My goodness I am so tired of seeing her everytime I turn on the television. Thank God the country did not end up with that nut. Mr.V-P, you are awesome. I am glad you can laugh at yourself. Mrs. Palin is a hot mess!! She should go back to Alaska and raise her family.

She gets attention because she is so obviously an attention junkie and she seeks it out. She has become the sideshow for the Republican party. She belongs at home with her special needs kids (I say "kids" because I count her 17-year old daughter as being special needs, as well as an irresponsible bimbo, who apparently hasn't fallen far from the tree as her mom, Sarah, seems pretty needy too).

Dems ARE listening to our leaders and proving unity in action while working within the repub hate factory that continues (limbaugh, hannity and the like). Maybe you got the dems and repubs mixed up for what you're stating actually reflects the repubs - not the dems.
