Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths

I'm so disappointed in ALL the major politicians on both sides that with their campaign promises and lawyer speak to get around hard questions that I'd just like to see someone who's REAL, even if it means that they often screw up. I'd rather have someone screw up honestly than screw us over intentionally. I don't know if Sarah Palin is as honest as she appeared to be to me or not, she may be just another corrupt politician, but when the campaign was going on, I felt like she was imperfect, but real. And I liked that.

Didn't care much for McCain, and I do think that his choosing her was mainly to get a female on his ticket.

I dislike Mccain. I also see she was depicted as competant and honest in Alaska until the liberal media started changing the story on her from the moment of nomination onward.
