Agreed. Why was this considered a big deal anyway? As if Palin's vice presidency would be tainted by an unwed daughter who chose to do the right thing? Let's see, they went after Palin for her family, for her stance against a psychotic, violent state trooper, for daring to have the chutzpah to actually hunt meat for the freezer, for her "lack of experience" as governor of a major state, for being a woman who could not possibly fulfill the obligations of the job with children, and for her northern accent and phrases. Oh, and for winking. Caribou Barbie, that's what they said. CNN lists her alongside Blago and other disgraced politicians. They even filmed her interview at a turkey processing farm, being sure to show a turkey being killed in the background. Oh, the horror.

They may have even convinced the GOP that Palin is now too "damaged" by this nonstop media rape to be a viable candidate in the future.

Sarah, if you ever read this, maybe it's best if you get to stay in the clean air and relative innocence of Alaska and enjoy your family life. You're too good to be dragged through the cesspool of Washington DC and the media. But if you have thick skin and are willing to bear the unfair trashing of you and your family, I'll vote for you.

The Alaska Secession movement must be looking pretty good to her about now. I’d move there. Maybe Alaska could actually adopt and follow the U.S. Constitution minus every amendment added since the Bill of Rights. Yes, including the thirteenth, which is redundant if you read the original document anyway.

I would actively campaign AGAINST the GOP candidate locally if this were to happen.

It's my belief that politics is over, anyway. I'm pretty sure that the Democrat Congress is going to open the illegal immigrant floodgates in 2009 in order to complete the destruction of the election process.

Ironically, one of the major constituencies of the Democrat Party will have to take its rightful place at the back of the bus... ;-)

I am sick to death of this constant bashing of Sarah Palin, and I like her very much. I would gladly vote for her in 2012.
