If you can't admire her personal story, than you won't understand. As for being near a foreign country, I didn't say she understood foreign policy, I asked how ignorant could she be? Unlike President Bush, Palin can actually pronounce "nuclear" correctly. As for change in Washington, if she will reach across party lines and end gridlock and fight corruption like she has in Alaska, she has already demonstrated more than any of the Senators in this election have promised to take on, and as for the Supreme Court, any justice nominated will have to be approved by the Senate. As long as the Democrats control the Senate, I don't care who McCain/Palin will nominate. If you're honest with yourself, you'll know they'll have no choice but to nominate a moderate. Roe V. Wade is not going anywhere. And if McCain wins, let him have a chance to shake up Washington for four years. That means Hillary gets elected in 2012. It's an ideal scenario for Hillary supporters. Not only does it make Hillary's presidency possible, it even paves the way for real change by shaking up the establishment before Hillary gets there. If it were Hillary's administration to begin with in 2009, her work would proceed at a much slower pace because there would be far more resistance on the front end. <abbr><em>Matt Urdans last blog post..<a href="http://michiganrafter.blogspot.com/2008/08/game-changer-sarah-palin.html" rel="nofollow">Game Changer: Sarah Palin</a></em></abbr> Maritzia–No offense is intended, but maybe you can’t understand how I can be excited about what Palin represents for change (versus support for her I didn’t promise) because after one day of learning all you can about her, you are only rehashing the democratic party’s surrogates’ talking points.
