Sarah Palin interview

I'm really not into politics. I feel it's my responsibility to vote. The only way a democracy works is if people exercise their right to vote and take seriously. So I research the issues and the candidates prior to casting my ballet. I'll also occasionally wait coverage of the campaigns or read about it in various newspapers or periodicals. In this election, I've been mostly on the fence - not terribly excited about either set of candidates. Actually, after the RNC, I was slightly leanly towards the McCain camp - mostly because of Sarah Palin's speech. But over the last couple of days, I think I've swung into the Obama camp - which, more accurately, is away from the McCain/Palin camp. I've been concerned about McCain's negative ads but Sarah Palin's interview with Katie Couric really got me scared about that ticket. For those of you who haven't seen it, here it is:



There was actually a good parady of this interview on SNL. I saw the SNL skit first and assumed they had massively exaggerated things but then discovered it was actually pretty accurate (which is scary). Anyway, this interview really gives me pause about having Palin as Vice President.
