  Agree. It's going to be a pleasure to watch how politics changes as a result of this year's campaign. I believe Sarah Palin may be the face of a brave-new-populace kind of Republican, doing away with the stern faced agenda driven neo-dominance of the party. Certainly, without losing a bit of credibility, she is softer and gentler.

  I think it's fine to speak in a language that everyone understands even if it is not as professional as it's supposed to be. Actually...I think it's better to say..."you betcha"....then some long winded B.S. that leaves you thinking they did not answer the question or wondering if they did answer the question.

  Listening to a politician manipulate the English language so they don't have to give you a straight answer does not in anyway make them seem more professional or smarter then anyone else. I t makes them seem dishonest. The fact that they are so...educated...professional...intelligent and whatever...means it's done intentionally. That makes them very dishonest...I think.

  You are not seriously comparing a T.V. Cooking Show Host to a potential V.P. of the United States. Are you kidding me?

  And no. To answer your question, is absolutely NOT ACCEPTABLE for Sarah Palin to be blowing kisses and talking like the next Joe Blow's Wifey down the street. That is NOT who we need in office.

  This article is absolutely absurd.

  Blowing kisses is a lot better than making empty promises! Go Sarah. She's inspired me, and many other women. She's the Elle Woods of 2008 without the ditzy accent. You certainly, certainly CAN judge someone by the way they present themselves. She takes care of herself, and she breaks down the stereotypes of only androgynous women being in politics. She can stand her ground with the boys while rockin a pair of spicy red heels.

  Anuushu,

  In my book, it is a little more inappropriate to birth one's political career in the home of a terrorist. Wouldn't you agree?

  reallyhotmichelle, I agree with you totally. I like Gov. Palin. At least when she doesn't have an answer, she just says "I don't know" instead of trying to BS us with a bunch of rhetoric. Why won't Obama clear up the questions regarding his past? Maybe we'll finally get some answers during the debate this week, but I doubt it.

  "And no. To answer your question, is absolutely NOT ACCEPTABLE for Sarah Palin to be blowing kisses and talking like the next Joe Blow's Wifey down the street. That is NOT who we need in office."

  anuushu,

  Why is it absolutely not acceptable? Who do we need in office? Someone that avoid answering all the questions because they have mastered the English language? How is that working out for us?

  This is not an absurd article...politicians dance around the issues....and do not give us straight answers. There has to be someone to analyze their debates because most of the country can't understand a word they say. That is what is absurd.

  What's so absurd about wanting to be able to understand what these people (who are working for us) are saying and what their position on the issues are? I would consider that my right and not absurd at all. I would consider that allowing me to make an informed decision on who I should vote for.

  I don't care who's Wifey she sounds like...as long as she does the job. Obviously...having an expanded vocabulary doesn't get it done.

  you need to understand that Palin will be on the WORLD stage with OTHER world political leaders.

  She needs to present herself with a certain Savoir faire that is necessary to gain the respect of HER peers in the global arena. Trust me, down home country winking is not gonna cut it on the floor of the U.N or in peace negotiations with the Middle East. Think people! Gees!!

  I am assuming since you made this statement...you have been in a global arena and know that the winking thing isn't going to work....

  I do understand she will be on a world stage. I am not saying she is qualified....but I am not assuming that she will not be able to gain respect by being straight forward and not dancing around the issues at a peace negotiation if she is qualified. If she knows whats going on the fact that she smiles and winks has nothing to do with it.

  She can go to the peace negotiations and be as politically correct as you think she should be...if she is not qualified...I don't think its going to make too much difference.

  But isn't that the whole point of this discussion...how the hell does anyone one know who is qualified to do anything....every time you ask them something...they don't answer it....or maybe they did but your not sure because of all that extra vocabulary they throw in...just to make sure they aren't going to piss someone off by taking a stand on something.

  Geez...I am thinking....try it.
