I certainly have given her an opportunity. You say she is very intelligent and you would vote for her. Why? I'm being completely sincere here: what has she done that has made you think this? Point me towards anything that will improve my view of Palin, anything at all. I SWEAR I will give it a chance.
(For the record, I have no party affiliation, in case my previous posts have suggested otherwise. Although a lot of times it seems like I fall to the left, that's really only socially; economically I'm actually quite conservative. So whenever I take little internet political quizzes, the two balance each other out and I always get called a centrist :P )
