Can you imagine the pressure he is getting?
And, the repukelicans response to palin as V.P. choice is instructive.
"Just let us (The RNC) do your thinking for you.
We know best, you just cheer when we tell you to.
And people DO IT!

It just amazes me that people will gloss all this over, just because they were told to.

What a way to live, no worries, no brain fry, just follow...sheep, baaaaa, baaaa.
