Because Palin lives in Alaska, does that give her some disconnection to America'
Palin lives all the way up there in Alaska...
So the issues she deals with aren't going to be the same as those in the USA...Is that a validating issue??????

Since Palin cannot see the American main land from her house, she may be somewhat disconnected from the rest of US. But so what? I can't see the white house from my house so I guess I'm not much connected either. I guess I identify with her. For example, I don't know what the Bush doctrine is either but I'm sure that it's an important thing where he lives and if he can keep terrorist in the Middle East, so much the better. Finally, I don't know how to field-dress a moose but I'm sure it's an important skill to have where she lives. But, if she can shoot a wolf from a helicopter, I'd love for her to come down here and shoot a few coyotes for us and seal the border. We all have our priorities ;) Side: yes
haha... good point... Yea, I know people down Palin for not being the smartest, most informed, VP candidate that ever lived. However, I think she helps people identify with her. She's easy to comprehend on any level, and makes the American people comfortable because there not hearing a bunch of political terms (even though many seem to feel bigger words = smarter candidate when typically reality is bigger words = insecurity) On a different note... I think there are some differences since Alaska isn't as in America as some other states Wait, that doesn't make sense! Well, you get my point... =] I just know that there are a ton of differences between say Kentucky and Michigan, so it seems the issues affecting Alaska may not be the biggest issues here in the more statesy states...haha..... So, I guess what I'm trying to say is...Palin's experience (though little) isn't going to be in the issues that we're dealing with right now..However, I don't think that's that big of a deal because it wasn't like she ever was an expert on the Windfall tax anyway... Field-dressing moose- Palin's area of expertise sighs =] Side: yes
