If there is faults & failings about Sarah, don't you think it should come out now through interviews rather than when she is talking with a head of state & says she doesn't know that Africa is a Continent?
I wouldn't put all the blame on the media.
Sarah Palin isn't a bad person per se, she is just out of her league.

That was my feeling. McCain was already running a bad campaign...in fact it was bad during the primaries. His choice to pick a virtually unknown and untested person was disastrous. She was unvetted. She was unexperienced in the larger political picture and world politics.
That interview made her look like an idiot. That does not mean she is an idiot, but what counts are the voters and in particular those already leaning towards Obama who want to know "why should I vote for McCain/Palin?
If McCain wanted a woman there are other women to chose from.
Sorry Republicans but to be honest McCain was the bad choice to begin with to defeat an Obama. McCain was weak to begin with, flip flopping on issues to win the primary...that should have been the first clue.
He was too old, to run against an Obama. He was too white to run against an Obama. Palin too in-experienced. She had the fire. She read scripts well, but that was not near enough to run against Obama and to counter the stigma of the Bush presidency. Bad campaign from the get go. I always felt that way.
