I do have an opinion. I already stated it. From what I've seen, which was not much recently, I've concluded she is an effective communicator. She is confident, prepared, articulate, and able to handle spontanaity pretty well. I can't conclude much about her qualifications as a politician beyond that and it isn't really arguable any way since peops around here base their judgements on different political criteria and are apt to jump around on those if they don't like somebody enough. tejek hates her and has made that widely known here and across threads. It goes beyond differences of opinions on political issues, it includes her cultural upbringing, lifestyle, and well... it is a pervasive and not really rational, she's a tea partier type is enough for most. That is an extreme bias. Maybe you feel the same way which is ok with me, you guys can hate who ever you want, and I don't have to go along with it, I'm not sure why that tics people off. The only reason I haunched up here was over the boobs thing, you'll just have to track back if you want to catch that.

oh my. she's been on the public scene for how long? she ran for vice president. she's been out across the country a lot since then. it is disengenuous to suggest you have not heard enough to form any sort of opinion. or perhaps with what you have heard you haven't, so it is quite possible no amount of quotes or speeches from her would cause you to form one. or... you already have an opinion and are transporting the back and forth the two of do on another thread to this one. "your extreme bias", ya know. You have it right. I have posted any number of bizarre Palin comments to less on the FAMD thread. None dissuade from her opinion of Palin. She continues to prattle on about what an extraordinary leader Palin makes. Its hopeless and not worth the bandwidth trying to convince her otherwise.
