Although I did not think the email about Palin I posted yesterday was entirely negative about her, I recieved several complaints from Republicans that the letter was b.s., as it is colloquially called. In fairness to them I point you to one of the supporters emails coming out of Alaska, which I have no doubt is basically true.

Obama's plan turns largely around a key point, that over the last eight years and longer, the wages of all but the top 1 percent of Americans have either remained flat or shrunk. In very short, his plan for fixing that rests on two main things, taking money from the taxes of the top wage earners and giving it to those in the middle class and below. The other point is to reduce the deficit.

Her interview with Charlie Gibson was partially run on Nightline. Her answers on foreign affairs seemed canned, stilted, and like she was out of her league. At one point she offered up that she could see Russia from Alaska. Huh? That is a qualification? She explained that it shows what a small world we live in. Ok. She really was reaching.

The story with Palin and the Library is hardly over. ABC did a report that showed that she belonged to a church that advocated removing books from circulation at the time, and she inquired about it to the librarian at a City Council meeting. When you are the Mayor of a town and you even bring something like that up, especially when you are well known to attend a church that advocates for it, it is intimidating. Unless you agree, of course, then it is a good idea.
