The Palin Effect

Sarah Palin has single handedly saved John McCain’s run for president. She is everything the Conservatives want, except she is not on the top of the Republican ticket. There is a strong possibility that after this election, she will be in national politics for a long time.
McCain had no chance in winning before he picked Palin. Now Obama has stopped attacking McCain and started attacking Palin. This is a very usual move by Obama. Also, since Palin has come into the picture, Biden has gone away. I bet no one remembers the last time Biden did anything with respect to the Obama campaign.
Now, Charlie Gibson interviewed Sarah Palin for 20/20 on ABC. Gibson gave the worst interviews I have ever seen. You could see the look of disgust on his face as Palin gave answers that were not the kind Gibson was seeking. Multiple times Gibson asked a question and the asked again, trying to get a particular answer from Palin.
Please note this is a 4 part interview, Part 1 is above.
I like Sarah Palin and I think she gave McCain a fighting chance to win this election. I think after several years in national politics and serving as VP, she could be president. However, there is still no way I would vote for McCain.
