Jack You would have nothing to worry about if you went to Gov Palin's rally LOL I've been to a couple of them, and there are people from every background there. YOu are either not being honest or just being VERY ignorant about Sarah Palin's Rallies. 10/29/2008
Jack I really hope Sarah Palin is the next Republican Nominee. Infact I often thought they should have flipped the ticket this time around. McCain Campaign really screwed her over on some occasions, so next time around everyone will see her for the intellectual, brilliant woman that she is. She' s a born leader, and that's obvious. 10/29/2008
LP Gov. Palin stands very little chance of becoming the Republican nominee for any future election should the McCain-Palin ticket loses this year. This is due to the fact that she has very limited appeal outside the portion of the party base which is mostly evangelical white Christians. I am an immigrant Christian woman with an ethnic sounding name. You would never know looking at me at first glance that I am Christian, a fifth generation Christian from a non-Christian country. I am a church going, baptized Christian. Ideally, I should identify more with Gov.Palin than Sen.Obama. But if I were to go to any of Gov.Palin's rallies like the ones shown on you tube, I should probably be afraid for my personal safety because of how I look. I have no such fear in Sen.McCain rallies I must add. My views on abortion, global warming, climate change and a whole list of issues would put me under the center-left category. I can identify more with Sen.McCain who is a white, older gentleman than with Gov.Palin and Rep.Michelle Bachman even though we share the same faith and gender because they and their supporters would paint me as 'Anti-American'. You see, unlike citizens who are born here, I chose to come here. I am not biased. I see America as the rest of the world sees, in all its faults, but mostly in all its goodness. If Barack Obama and half of congress who are born here could have their patriotism questioned, where would someone like me stand?
I respect Gov.Palin for her faith and her witness. I also think she is very good looking and very courageous for choosing to have a Down syndrome child which many would not have. But as for identifying with her, I do not and cannot. Not because of ideological or ethnic differences, but how Gov.Palin and her supporters make me feel. As an outsider with no role or stake in America. I identify more with Sen. Hillary Clinton even though my religious views match Gov.Palin's more because of the way she and her supporters make me feel included in the dialog of this great country. And until Gov.Palin can make connections outside the base, she can never hope to become the Republican President, much less the nominee in 2012 or any other year if the McCain/Palin ticket loses.		 10/28/2008
