So, you have to put that in context when looking at her "loyalty" comments and the fact she started out with the independent party.
Let's also not forget we are talking when she was in her late 20s and early 30s for a lot of this stuff. I think it's fair to say someone has learned a bit politically between the ages of 28 and 44. I certainly would say Obama has, why isn't Palin afforded the same understanding?

Because she and the campaign refuse to answer any questions.
But this really isn't about her, it's about McCain. What does it say about a guy that he surrendered to the right wing of his party and didn't choose the guy he wanted, then made a hasty selection of a person that wasn't politically vetted? McCain made a reckless choice and now he's living with the consequences.
