Sarah Palin was just fine with the national scene as it applies to Americans, morality, ethics, values and American life.
What she was ill-prepared for was the Marxist DemoRat MSM enemy, and how those slimebags fight.
She knows now, and interestingly she plays 'em like a fiddle while they can't touch her now.
The strategic mistake Sarah Palin made in 2008 was she did not "know her enemy", it had nothing to do with comprehending the national scene.
I agree with you.
Yes, her enemies were on McCain’s staff.
