Exactly. She also has not had to deal with rival factions within the govt bureaucracies who undermined Pres Bush so often that I wonder how he was able to trust anybody. I am a big fan of Gov Palin but I will not be for long if in fact she makes judgments about his presidential tenure without knowing the facts involved in his decisions. He had a war to run, kept this country safe for 7 years, and had to get money to pay for it from a hostile democrat congress who played politics with the lives of our military. If the various Republican Party factions think they can rebuild the party by continuing to use Pres Bush as their scapegoat they might as well not bother, they will not succeed but only drive more Republicans to go Independent. Including me.
