It is well established that she is a "token" candidate anyway.

Tokens are usually empty suits, with or without lipstick.

Sorry but I disagree with you. I think they have tried to muzzle her too much.

Let her speak for the American people that are NOT the politicans. The common folks if you will.

I agree with you in that she was muzzled too much in the beginning.

When they finally did let her speak, she did not do as well as she could have.

Sarah Palin does not carry herself in a business-like manner. Her winking and her "you betcha"s did not go over well in business and professional circles. I know a lot professional women that were totally turned off!

I do believe the press was foaming at the mouth to ask her "gotcha" questions, and it worked! Her image is now that of a bumbling soccer mom!

She has been doing a little better lately, but the first impression damage is already done. It will take some time to overcome the bad first impression!

I don't believe she was asked any questions that would have made the cut for Jeopardy!

She was asked questions on relevant issues. She was asked questions that, if answered properly, would give Americans a better sense of her identity.

She answered the questions poorly.
