I like this quote from Norman J. Ornstein, Resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute (a conservative think tank) concerning Palin’s interview
“She had me at hello Charley– had me scared to death….a series of knowledge and logic gaps that ought to shake every foreign policy specialist, liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, to his or her roots.”
I don’t know of any thinking person that could have looked at that interview and not be shaken. What happened to the Republicans? This used to be the most buttoned up political party offering the most progressive views on what Governments role should be. When listening to politicians running for high office people are generally trying to determine if they agree with them on the issues, after watching this interview I came away with the perception that Palin does not really know what the issues are. I’m sorry but this selection is a big minus in my book.
