so you are going to just ignore the fact that your entire argument is based on unnamed sources?

and from a liberal news source to boot. I am not claiming that Politico is far left but I typically read it everyday and it with out a doubt left leaning. Hell just the sheer volume of Palin hate stories they have run should be enough to prove that. I don't that with all the press claiming that America will not accept another Texan so soon that it is possible to find some GOPs who are worried about but I do question the significance of it when they are not even willing to say it on the record. In 2007 who would have suspected that the country would elect a 1/2 term senator with a condescending smugness a preacher who shouts "god damn America" from the pulpit and less leadership experience then the average scout leader?
