From everything I have read - except for the kind of generalities you just wrote, of course - it appears that Palin was a perfecty capable governor of Alaska. I must have missed the demonstration, perhaps because there hasn't actually been one...

Funny...when all the hoo-ha broke in the mass media about it, I took the liberty of actually listening to her whole speech rather than getting my info second hand. What she said made sense to me. Of course, I'm sure you are not used to hearing politicians actually being open & aboveboard about their motivations, I can understand that you might think it all surreal.
She was giving real reasons, rather than laying down the usual political smokescreen. Of course, I have a little experience in government, so I recognized exactly what she was talking about.
But it's like Dr. Johnson observed - she can provide you with an explanation, but she cannot provide you with an understanding.

There's not much I can say about a man unable to handle an armed toddler.
