These are ignorant, incompletely coached answers. They did try, but they\’re bringing their VP candidate up to speed from practically zero experience and comprehension. Palin will get better at this as she gets feedback — unfortunately. You\’re rattled by her performance. People who are more inclined to be charitable toward her will shrug it off and three weeks from now she\’ll be able to rattle off a decent imitation of a Wall Street Journal OpEd reader, and that\’ll be good enough for her to meet her obligations.People who love Palin probably liked this. People who thing she\’s an amateur wingnut saw her off her game in the Gibson interview. It\’s probably a wash.
‘[T]hree weeks from now she\’ll be able to rattle off a decent imitation of a Wall Street Journal OpEd reader….’This stuff is a lot harder than it seems, so I don’t know. It would be better if she could do it; only with the modern Republican Party have I had the fear that loss of an election could mean the end of things.
