Carl Cameron just said McCain campaign shocked to discover Sarah Palin did not realize Africa was a continent, believing instead that it was a country. She did not know the countries in NAFTA. She refused offered preparation for the Couric interview and threw temper tantrums over adverse press.
Wow. Dumping on Sarah in a big way. Shep asked how on Earth the McCain camp could have ended up picking such a dope (not exact words, but sense of what he said).
They did point out she seemed to help the polling numbers.
I knew this was going to be the template, but I was surprised at the level of nastiness on Fox News. Looks like elements of the McCain campaign is determined to make her the scapegoat for the loss. (Couldn't have been anything about the man at the top of the ticket.)
Fox News: Palin didn't know Africa was a continent You Tube
I would not believe it if I hadn’t seen her take questions and read transcripts of her interviews.
Unfortunately, it is not difficult at all to believe she was clueless about Africa. Don’t forget that she couldn’t speak intelligently about a single Supreme Court case. She couldn’t name a newspaper she reads. When asked about the bailout and other important issues, her responses were not just subpar; they were incoherent.
She should never have been chosen in the first place. Surely there are brilliant, educated, and articulate conservatives out there. Surely you can’t believe that she is the best option for 2012.
I am glad that FOX is exposing the gaps in her knowledge, because she needs to be decidedly out of the running for 2012. If this mistake is repeated, conservatives will deserve the electoral drubbing they will receive...again.
Romney and Palin are big government twins.
No they are not.
Gov. Palin is an adult and conservative.
Mr. Romney is a shapeshifting backstabber whose positions
depend on the phase of the moons around his planet.
BTTT
Im no fan of Palin either. The comparisons of her to the Iron Lady are just...bizarre, so 2012 is wide open.
