Palin

There's an interesting writeup about Sarah Palin on the CNN Money/Fortune site. In a nutshell, she sounds fairly bright, and fairly tough. McCain could have done worse. Its pretty obvious that there are some fierce opinions on her, mostly by people who prior to last week didn't even know she existed. I particularly like this one, from the MoveOn group's site:

Dear MoveOn member,

Today is John McCain's 72nd birthday. If elected, he'd be the oldest president ever inaugurated. And after months of slamming Barack Obama for "inexperience," here's who John McCain has chosen to be one heartbeat away from the presidency: a right-wing religious conservative with no foreign policy experience, who until recently was mayor of a town of 9,000 people.

Seem to have skipped right over her election as Governor, didn't they? It does get mentioned about three lines later, which to me is about three lines too late. I mean, I don't support her, but geez, guys, fair's fair.
