Poor Sarah

Okay I am a fervent BO supporter but as of late I feel really sorry for Palin.  I think she got caught up in her own dreams that the reality and difficulties of the situation never occurred to her.  I can't even criticize her anymore I feel like it's making fun of a handicap person.  Do any other Dems feel the way I do?  If I didn't like BO so much I would definitely be making a pity vote for Sarah in November.

I liked what she said last night, that the shots that her detractors are taking at her are nothing compared to what many other Americans have to deal with, with the potential loss of their homes, loss of children, etc. She said she's keeping it all in perspective, and that she has thick skin. I like that.

Also, I'm not so sure she's over her head at all. She's running for V.P., remember? That job lends itself well to on the job training. It looks like she's a fast learner. I am impressed.

I was looking forward to learning more about her and I wasn't to

Insofar as they are under such public scrutiny (even their families and private lives) I feel equally sorry for all the candidates and their families.

I don't vote for anyone out of pity. I did feel bad about her email account having been hacked into (though -- that is also a result of her poor decision-making) but those feelings of pity/human decency only led me to decide a) not to look at the screenshots that have been posted and b) to try to not gossip about her. There are so many more important things happening in the world, she is not worth the energy.

I don't know about it 'sucking to be in their shoes' this is the life they chose. I have to believe that by now candidates know what to expect and if they don't they are too naive to be in politics.

If you read the polls, you could see where they come from.
