"I fear for my country"-Gov Tony Knowles & other Alaska Dems-warn NOT to underestimate Sarah Palin

"I fear for my country"

Former Gov. Tony Knowles and other Alaska Democrats warn not to underestimate Sarah Palin's political skills -- or how unsuited she is for the vice presidency.

By David Talbot


Sept. 12, 2008 | ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Can the Republicans really use national novice Sarah Palin to juice the doddering McCain campaign all the way to the White House?

You bet, warn Alaska Democrats. They've seen this movie before.

"Her campaign locked her in a closet during the governor's race in 2006 -- and they're doing the same thing now," said one longtime Democratic consultant here, who like many others asked to remain anonymous because "it's a small state and Sarah takes names and numbers."

"They're setting a trap for the country," he continued. "Keep her away from the press, while they set up these phony 'tests' for her. The first test was her speech before the Republican convention. They spread all this nervous chatter about her -- is she ready for prime time, can she pull it off?

very revealing, and much more (I wish I could post it ALL for you) at:

If every voter could be aware of what's in that article, it would be over.

10. yup, lowering expectations. remember 2000?
they'll rachet down the iq-level of her questions until they hand her a banana and go, "nana num-num?" and when she says, "mmmm!" they'll cheer like crazy and it will be such an improvement over her earlier blundering that they'll mark her the winner of the debates and surging in the polls and oy vey iz mir!

keep working for obama!
