quehubo, I'm not totally certain why, but somehow you want to ignore the fact that Obama has actually thought about Iraq, about foreign policy, about the process of governing, about politics in the country as a whole. Palin, on the other hand, said that she "hasn't thought much about Iraq."

Do you actually think that a person who hasn't thought much about iraq by the year 2008 should be on a presidential ticket? Do you actually think that a person who has spent the vast majority of her life in a small town in Alaska should be on a presidential ticket? That isn't saying anything bad about small towns in Alaska--it is just to point out that Alaska is a very different place from the Lower 48. It is unique. It is a state that prides itself on rugged individualism while being virtually socialist in how it actually manages itself, thanks to its vast oil revenues and the pork that its oh so capitalist Washington legistors Stevens and Young manage to get year after year.

I guess you haven't read about how Palin told Washington that she didn't want the Bridge to Nowhere--she still took the money, and only decided not to build it after it created such a ruckus in the press. Very cute. She definitely has some good Alaskan/Washington/Stevens/Young instincts. I guess I should take back what I said above about small towns in AK, at least when it comes to pork.
