A further thought about Palin and the interview
As I said earlier, I don't begrudge Palin spouting memorized, campaign-provided answers to Gibson's questions, because I understand how the VP candidate's message has to jive with the presidential candidate's positions. The problem with Palin doing this, though, is that there was no period of years during which we got to hear what she really thinks about the issues, prior to her vice presidential run. Maybe this sounds like what I've said before, but I think it's a slightly different take. Do you Palin fans really not have any concerns about this? or are you optimistic that McCain will stay healthy long enough for Palin to learn her way around some foreign policy?

Here's the very simple answer: She believes what we believe. If you don't know what that is, ask your favorite conservative.
Issues? She's a conservative. You hate it, we love it, what else is there to say?
How do you know what she believes? The Alaska economy is wacky, so who knows how she'll translate economic policy to the national level.
Don't know anything about the Alaska economy. Please enlighten.
