She has the unusual talent for a politician to make the complex simple, and the poll number showing that 53% would NOT vote for her? Perhaps among Democrats, but among middle Americans that number is vastly different. Again, Ms. Palin scares liberals. She is NOT from the New York-DC axis, nor is she from the LA-SF axis. The media coverage that she has recently received from interviewers has NOT been softball questions, as they were with BARACK OBAMA during his campaign. Palin has been villified in the liberal media for her lack of "Gravitas" or whatever other sins that she might have committed. No, she is NOT a Harvard educated lawyer. She is a college educated local politician who has risen through the ranks to lead a state. Yes liberals, Alaska is a state. It has been since 1959. Her greatest sin is that she is a conservative woman. Evidently women are all supposed to be liberals and pro abortion. Her life story is like that of millions of American women, and her ability to deal with problems will serve her well wherever she decides to go.

The Niles Daily Star is apparently not immune to this syndrome. in its editorial on Monday, the Star misses the appeal of Sarah Palin completely. She's genuine. She is pro-life so she refused to abort her Downs Syndrome baby. She is brave. How many politicians would take on an incumbant governor of a state from their own party and beat him? She's conservative, yet her husband is supportive and does tasks around the house many liberal women could only wish their husbands would do. The Star cited only one source, Joe McGinness. Joe McGiness is hardly an expert on politics. He has written political biographies about the Kennedeys, but I could find no evidence he is an expert about Sarah Palin. Why do many people dislike her? My theory is that she is one of us. She doesn't have a degree from Harvard, her family is interesting to say the least, yet she is conservative. That is an affront to everybody who thinks all attractive women should be pro-choice. Michael L.
