Same here. I have yet to hear the woman say anything with which I can substantially disagree and the story of her rise in politics is the stuff a very inspiring film should be made of. The story of a middle class mother of four (later five with the last being a "special needs" child) who takes on the "Establishment" and not only survives but thrives under attack by people who can only be categorized as demonically possessed in their raw hatred and venom.

But this line had to be pure sarcasm or the writer comes from some bizarre parallel universe: "the widespread misperception that John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign was a well-oiled machine." The phrase "train wreck" does it no justice and none of that, repeat "none", was the fault of the lady from Alaska.

Not that McCain operatives didn’t try to hang it around her neck, both then and later.
