I don't believe it and I don't think many are here. Greta seems to get it, judging from her website. Cameron provided the detail that there was a question between South Africa the country and south Africa as in "southern Africa." I can imagine a legitimate question being twisted into something sounding ignorant. This is B.S.

Illinois Senator Barack Obama apparently doesn't know there is even a "southern Illinois," since he wants to bankrupt the coal industry, long a mainstay of southern Illinois economy, a part of his own state.

Is Sarah Palin exceptionally brainy? I don't know, but there is more than intelligence... wasn't Jimmy Carter supposed to be a genius? There is no doubt in my military mind that Sarah Palin gave a huge boost to the ticket and was the only reason it was as close as it was.

Did McCain want to lose? I got the sense that he has been in the Senate for a long time, and is very comfortable in the role he sees himself in -- as the guy who is willing to reach across the aisle. We don't like it, but that's who he truly is, I think, and I believe he sees that as honorable.

I felt very bad for Sarah when she was saying she was sorry if she cost John McCain one vote. She seemed sincere, and I hope she does not entertain that thought for a second. If there is a scrap of chivalry in McCain -- as I would expect to find in a naval officer -- he will come out and put and end to this garbage both publicly and privately.

The degree to which the MSM and the Dems have tried to destroy Palin is evidence enough that they recognize she is a political force to be reckoned with. I went to a Palin rally with my daughter in NoVA. There is a chemistry there that is hard to define. She is a natural politician. It is like seeing a gifted athlete who makes things look easy.

Palin can be a formidable political force with a little preparation. Imagine being plucked from Alaska and thrust into the middle of a national political campaign. Her performance at the convention and in the debate with Biden demonstrated her vast potential. She can get up to speed on the issues and learn Washingtonspeak. What can't be taught is the innate ability to connect with her audience. Bush, Hillary, Biden, and McCain don't have it. Obama does. And so does Palin to an even greater degree.

Hopefully, Palin will get engaged in the 2010 midterms speaking on behalf of Rep candidates. Her time will come despite the Dems, MSM, and country club RINOs attempts to destroy her.
