It is a real shame that the media didn't see it fitting to give a hoot about him when he was running for president. Of course, the national media won't focus on a white, middle aged, middle class, middle American governor with real experience in the economy, education, energy independece, the environment, health care, the list goes on and on. All I can say is the American people missed out on a great leader that could lead us safely into the next decade and well into the 21st century. Shame on the American voter for not paying attention, and shame on the American media for forcing us to chose the two senators that are the nominees. Thank you.

A Republican/ Conservative columnist Kathleen Parker, a former Palin supporter, says the vice presidential nominee should step aside. Kathryn Jean Lopez, writing for the conservative National Review, says Palin dropping off the race at this time is not a crazy suggestion and that something need to be done immediately. Tony Fabrizio, a GOP strategist, says Palin’s recent CBS appearance isn’t disqualifying but is certainly alarming. You can’t continue to have interviews like that and not take on water.” “I have not been blown away by her interviews, but at the same time, I haven’t come away from them thinking that there is too much out there,” said Chris Lacivita, a GOP strategist. She is not Dick Cheney, Al Gore, Joe Biden, Jack Kemp and definitely not Hillary Clinton. FOX News analyst Bernard Goldberg said interviews of Palin do not instill people confidence and Parker “may be right” in saying that Palin is out of her league.
