This is out of character for me, but I am actually feeling sorry for Sarah Palin. She’s in over her head, and if she isn’t careful, she’ll become a readily available punching bag if McCain loses.
Republican leaders who were silent when McCain chose Sarah as his running mate are the real culprits. Instead of speaking [...]
