When you cannot handle Katie "Colonoscopy on TV" Couric basic questions such as, "name some newspapers and magazines you read for your world view input", you will have a MAJOR problem being taken seriously by the majority of voters in America that are not card carrying members of the Sarah Palin Fan Club.

I'm thinking her handlers probably told her to always avoid specifics so they couldn't come back to bite her. Couric and other journalists know this is politician trick so they ask specific questions for a "gotcha" momement. Let's say she said "The New York Times". They would have then asked who her favorite Times writer is. If she doesn't know this then it's "Gotcha". If she answers this then the next question is: What did you think of his article on X and so on and so forth till they come to the gotcha moment.

Palin gave me the impression that she, indeed does NOT read very much in regards to foreign affairs and was much less informed than scores of regular posters on Free Republic.

And when was the last time you met and talked to Gov. Palin?

Note ~ there are Freepers in Wasilla and elsewhere in Alaska. Some of them are not so distant cousins whose Great Grandfather moved there in the 1930s as part of a New Deal plan to raise vegetables.

They don't follow FR to the degree that I do but they're all Sarah Palin fans. Some day I may get to meet them ~
