I hope Sarah goes back to Alaska and knocks 'em dead as governor. Then we shall see.

Fox News suddenly doesn't seem so impressed by her. ktla.com Partial transcript: Smith: Now that the election is over, Carl, tell us more about those reports of infighting between Palin and McCain staffers. Cameron: I wish I could have told you more at the time but all of it was put off the record until after the election. There was great concern in the McCain campaign that Sarah Palin lack the degree of knowledgeability necessary to be a running mate, a vice president, and a heartbeat away from the presidency. We're told by folks that she didn't know what countries that were in NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, that being the Canada, the US, and Mexico. We're told she didn't understand that Africa was a continent rather than a country just in itself ... a whole host of questions that caused serious problems about her knowledgeability. She got very angry at staff, thought that she was mishandled.....was particularly angry about the way the Katie Couric interview went. She didn't accept preparation for that interview when the aides say that that was part of the problem. And that there were times that she was hard to control emotionally there's talk of temper tantrums at bad news clippings... to all of this, she says, she "doesn't understand how anybody could feel that way", she says she's done everything that was asked of her, and she bears no ill-will to staff. ... Notwithstanding that there is to be an avalanche that will continue for many days now we’re told of story upon story of the foibles of Sarah Palin. ... "How could they end up with a running mate who doesn't know that Africa is a continent and they don't know the level of problems that they're getting themselves into in advance?" Add on this, newsweek.com and that's a whole lot of ammunition for any opponents. Just by day 2 of her campaign.
