Sen. John McCain's campaign must have learned playground rules in a federal prison yard. Because theirs is no way to treat a new friend, running mate Sarah Palin. From the time she was so poorly unveiled at the Republican National Convention to her muzzling to "fashion-gate" and now to an anonymous McCain staffer's charge that Palin's a "diva," theirs was a bungled effort that Palin probably realized just a few days into the campaign.
How would I know? From my interview with Palin and hubby Todd yesterday, they explained how they size people up on outdoor expeditions in Alaska: "It's like Plato said, 'You learn more about someone in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.' We've had people that Todd has ended up hiring [for his commercial fishing business] based on how they did out on a hunt or a snow machine ride with us to see if they are going to complain. Are they going to buck up and realize that you have to make the best of the circumstances you're in? It's a good kind of testing ground for people," says Palin.

I really am MOST impressed with Sarah. I just cannot even express it. From my lips to God’s ears to her heart. I hope my prayers and blessings for her and her family reach her.
God Bless a FANTASTIC human being and a great proponent of America.
I voted for her today and voted with pride!
Todd: "It was pretty long."
Sarah: "It was so impressive."
Todd: "I was like, 'Holy cow. She didn't hit that one.' "
Sarah: "See, I have to ask him, so I'm not bragging about it myself."
Todd: "Her dad probably knows better, but it was a long range. Probably closer to 200 yards."
Sarah: "Two hundred? I was going to say 600."
Todd: "A 150 to 200 is a long shot."
Sarah Palin facts from Sarah Palin. Very cool.
Moose or jack rabbits?

I’m impressed too — but did you notice this in the article: “Todd told me that the presidential campaign has torpedoed Palin’s once stratospheric approval rating in Alaska. It’s down 20 points since she’s assumed the partisan pit bull role.”
She’s paying a price for the way these idiots are handling her.
On ANWR: "I hope people understand, in a 20,000-square-mile area, this is 2,000 acres. It is a plot of land the size of LAX that we would want to drill to explore. The pictures you see where they do their ANWR stories, mountains and rivers flowing and moose, those aren't even ANWR," Palin says. "You take a football field, you put a postage stamp in the middle of the football field: That's ANWR."
