Sarah Palin

As promised, here is a link to my WSN editorial:

I am enjoying the comments a lot, particularly the one that insinuates I am not a woman (and would understand the female commenter’s support of Palin if I were one).

Also, for the sake of it, here is a paragraph that was cut from the final version, because my editors thought (as did I) that people knew these things by now. The second sentence mentions why Palin has been less than successful as governor:

“While speculation abounds regarding McCain’s motives, no one seems to know quite what to say about Palin’s background. In less than two years as Alaskan governor, Palin has racked up a surprising number of concerns, ranging from charges of nepotism to a persisting desire to fund the infamous ‘Bridge to Nowhere.’ She is easily outranked by Obama, who McCain has criticized for his meager three years in the federal government. As Kerry so pointedly reminded us in his speech at the Democratic National Convention, choosing Palin is flip-floppery of the highest order on the part of Senator McCain.”
