I'm wholly in agreement with the position that all children have a right to be born, and I think Sarah Palin might well be a good egg in many ways, and might make an excellent neighbour, or even an up-to-average MP. (That's not high...)

But as a President she would be a disaster, in the same way that Maggie Thatcher was a disaster, but far more dangerous, because far more powerful. Thatcher's damage was largely limited to these islands, Palin's would be likely to be global.
