I have wondered for some time if this country really deserved someone as honest as Sarah Palin. Now, it looks like I have my answer. We don't.
This marks a new low in American politics: run a decent person out of office by making nasty attacks on their children. Those uber liberals who say that such nasty attacks are just "normal politics" should be ready for someone to start attacking Obama's kids, and see how they like it then.

Comments:
Nasty personal attacks are the reason it's hard to find "good people" who are willing to run for office. The good ones say "who needs this?". I can't say that I blame her, but we certainly haven't seen the last of Sarah Palin.

Posted by: Vannah at July 4, 2009 1:03 PMMost governers have to resign to run for the presidency. Perhaps she will. Donno if she has a chance at winning, though.
