3. Not really caring to learn anything about our political system, but wanting to lead the country and reform Washington a la Doris Day in a smart Dior outfit taking on the mean railroad in "It Happened to Jane."

4. Thinking that she knows how to deal with Russia (the cold war is over BTW) because some remote part of Russia is next to a remote part of the remotely situated Alaska.

5. Thinking that having a two or so day Eva Peron esq. "Rainbow Tour" in Manhattan qualifies her on foreign policy.

6. Thinking that the Amercian people are so stupid that they will believe unsupported innuendos designed to promote bigotry.

There are others, but these are, at the least, illustrative.

Also -- poor Carter. He is, I think, an honest and good man. I truly like his ideas and manner. He was, however, wholly ineffective as Pres. Maybe his post Presidential experience has made him rich in being effective.

In the end, Gov. Palin has made the obvious choice to place herself as a Washington outsider (which she is) who is coming to town to kick a$$ and take names. Sadly, she has offered no plan to do that. She and McCain instead rely on Gov. Palin's self-described "maverick" status. Note - it is up to her to provide the details As an aside, Gov. Palin once again is myopic here because she is running with a total Wahington insider whose association with the Keating Five makes him the very definition of the type of reform she baselessly touts herself as wanting go against.
The thing about the rape kit is a lie for one, and secondly the Governor does not set medical policy for these sorts of things. The legislature does. Also, again, Obama has John Glenn sitting on his board of advisors. A reminder for those who do not know, the only two members acquitted in the Keating case were both Glenn and McCain. Obama's own advisor is as guilty as Obama claims McCain is. The fact of the matter is that both were cleared. Also, Franklin Raines is one of Obama's economics advisors. A reminer is that Raines was the guy who ran Fannie Mae until recently and was brought up on indictment. Yeah, I guess Obama's your man if you want repeats of the Fannie Mae Freddie Mac disasters. Another note is that Dodd and Obama were the two largest recipients of contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Yet, you would much rather focus on rape kits?!
