I'm starting to feel sorry for Palin and her family. She seems like a good person, with a solid family...Being thrust onto the national stage before your time says more about the thrusters.
The rollout of bad news is simply stunning. Her family is under seige, and it will extend to friends of the kids like a small-town soap opera. There is some talk of her withdrawal - as usual it is couched the way most support is framed. How many big-league managers read about having ownership's support just before getting canned? It's a comical kiss-of-death to receive that support.
The Republicans must be in near panic mode. It should be shame. These are their chickens coming home to roost.
