Oh and by the way. Your comment;
“As for being a Palin supporter, why would you re-post that excerpt from the Univision interview, if you are? Surely, you understand that Gov Palin was on the stump for McCain at the time, and was compelled to support his weak immigration policy.”
No one is compelled to compromise themselves intentionally and i wouldn’t vote for them if I thought they would.
I believe she has changed her position, which is giving her far more credit than do you.
This kind of talk is far more likely to turn people off than anything I said. She sounds like another mealy mouth in that paragraph of yours and she isn’t. You oversimplified and make it sound as if we should keep her hypocrisy to ourselves and not talk about it. WRONG.
It's entirely fair for you to draw your own conclusions from her public statements. It's what everyone does, and it's the risk that all politicians take whenever they open their mouths. Different people are going to take the same statement differently. One can only hope that the majority of those listening will hear what you intended for them to hear.

You see? You and I read the same thing, and take away something completely different. I believe that Sarah stayed within the fence posts of McCain's immigration policy while she was on the stump because that's just what you do when you're the VP nominee. I don't fault her for that one bit.
You see her as having changed her position, where my perception is that she's only beginning to fully articulate her position to the American people. In my way of looking at it, Sarah's always been tough on illegal immigration. She just had to fully shake loose from McCain before she could differentiate her views from his.
I think we can agree that however she got to her current stance - she got there, and that's all that matters.
