I have to say that I’m still puzzled. Remember when Palin was announced as McCain’s running mate and, once everyone got past the “Who the heck is Sarah Palin?” phase, we learned that she was a pretty well regarded, well liked, and popular governor supposedly known for being able to reach across the aisle? What happened to all that? Was that all an act in the past? A misreading? Or did the national spotlight just make her go crazy? I’m honestly curious and I admit to not having looked into that history much since the beginning, as I was more focused on the present in regards to her being a potential VP.
