Good article, Ebbie, thanks!

You know, if they wanted a qualified Republican woman who really does have some chops, they should have gotten Kay Bailey Hutchison, Senator from Texas. I don't care for her stance on a lot of things (same as Palin), she's a member of the NRA (same as Palin), her beauty has also been remarked upon (they called her the "Breck Girl" when she was running for Senator), and Hutchison is elegant. I don't think you can quite Palin of that.

In popular culture terms it's like Pamela Anderson vs Kathryn Hepburn.
