If so, the "rest of the world" had little understanding of US politics. I can't believe the "rest of the world" was this naive. Palin was added to the ticket as a way of appealing to the religious right and to undercut Hillary Clinton's appeal to women voters. Palin is an excellent speaker who capable of firing up audiences. She's attractive and personable. There's no doubt that she did add to McCain's vote. Just not enough. She's also totally unqualified for national office and was horribly uninformed about world affairs. She's an egomaniac who publicly fought with the Republican handlers and caused a great deal of dissent within the campaign structure. When are you going to stop calling *your* opinion "the rest of the world's" opinion? About the same time you learn the difference between "lose" and "loose"? -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida

I can't believe the "rest of the world" was this naive. It was a serious though when Palin opened her mouth >Palin was added to the ticket as a way of appealing to the religious >right and to undercut Hillary Clinton's appeal to women voters. Fair enough. Though Hillary is smart, Intelligent, understands politics and is ruthless. I am not sure Palin is any of those. >Palin is an excellent speaker who capable of firing up audiences. No and yes.... they showed some of here stuff here. Firing up a US Republican audience yes.. But "excellent speaker" not really... >She's attractive and personable. Yes, Agreed. > There's no doubt that she did add to >McCain's vote. Just not enough. OK.. >She's also totally unqualified for national office and was horribly >uninformed about world affairs. Absolutely... She is probably just what you need at town/city/state level but that is it. > She's an egomaniac who publicly >fought with the Republican handlers and caused a great deal of dissent >within the campaign structure. So rumour had it. However in a US presidential election it is difficult to tell fact from rumour from complete fiction. >When are you going to stop calling *your* opinion "the rest of the >world's" opinion? Why? IT is generally accurate. When do you last leave the US to see what the rest of the world looked like? > About the same time you learn the difference >between "lose" and "loose"? Not going to happen. I am not a good typist and dyslexic. -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

McCain and Palin--idiots all. He proved he had no sense whatever when he picked her. Considering that he left his wife when she became crippled, is there any doubt why he chose her? Allen |
