You can read the CNN interview.
Mainly, what does it say about a female politician if the most prominent woman in your party does not know too much about her? Food for thought, certainly. Discuss.

Don't forget Palin wasn't sure of herself for national office either. This was only a few weeks ago.
I think Palin was a good pick for McCain. Republicans finally have an interesting candidate on their ticket, someone who may be able to do something McCain has not been able to do, energize Republicans. Republicans also have the chance to define who she is leading up to the convention. I expect to see more pics of that automatic weapon in her hands over the next few months, which imo is a pretty sweet pic.
By Anne E. Kornblut DENVER -- Though it was high in shock value, the Palin pick left bruised feelings among the short-list contenders who were not picked -- and infuriated some Republican officials who privately said McCain had gone out on a limb, unnecessarily, without laying the groundwork for such an unknown. Two senior Republican officials close to Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty said they had both been rudely strung along and now "feel manipulated."

Looks like they're best pals in this article.
"Tim Kaine, who has exactly the same experience as Palin, was treated by the Media and the Dems as a serious and acceptable potential pick, it opens up charges of a double standard."
Big Tent Democrat at Talkleft wrote both.
She beat her parties governor and the Democratic ex governor to win this post. To beat her parties governor she had to work against her parties wishes. You might say she played the Clinton role in Alaska's Republican primary and won. Every level she's approached has seen her opponents under estimate her. Laugh at her all you want, or laugh at McCain, you may be crying soon.
G. Ferraro had nothing but compliments to say about her. H.Clinton sent along her best wishes. Her popularity numbers rivals former Governor Mark Warner, the keynote speaker on Tuesday night. I had thought that the Mondale pick was a gimmick 24 years ago. It seems that many here may have that very same opinion today, 2008. How telling is that? I guess we haven't come a long way????
