No one should be surprised that the media is beginning to ask questions with regard to Palin's understanding of national and international issues, and her reasoning with regard to her views. And she certainly didn't do very well compared with more seasoned candidates such as McKain or Obama, and I wouldn't expect her to do as well as Biden.

But maybe she'll carry McKain to victory with a tide of support from marginal voters who also don't understand national and international issues but like someone who "represents them."

Republicans, take comfort where you may. Just don't whine about the media being unfair.
