Listening to that was about as painful as Obama’s “duhs, uhs, and let me be clears”.
Stuff like this happens when a person doesn’t want to be clear about what they think. Sooner or later it is best to be clear. People may not like what you think, but it shows you thought it through enough to have an opinion and are prepared defend it.
Palin is great at lobbing zingers at Obama, but unprepared for being on the other end of the zingers. This was a softball. I can’t imagine how bad it could have been had it have been the “lamestream” media.

Exactly. One of the organizers of the CPAC boycott has called out Gov Palin and asked her to clarify her remarks. I bet big money that she does not.
“Her remarks did not sit well with American Principles Project president Frank Cannon. His group was one of the first to call on supporters to boycott this year’s CPAC conference, one of the largest annual gatherings of conservatives in the country, over GOProud’s involvement.
‘The concern of conservatives is over the participation of a group whose stated goals run at odds with that of core conservative principles, not over debate over those issues,’ said Cannon said in a statement on Monday. ‘Governor Palin should clarify her comments by letting us know whether in her definition, traditional marriage is a core component of conservatism.’”
