Try this for a rejoinder:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/14/us...s/14palin.html . They paint
her very much as a reformer, but unfortunately also very much a part of
the "old boys network" as well -- it's just that her "old boys" are her
old high school classmates, and they haven't (yet) become particularly
corrupt.
I don't think there's any of this sort of dirt on McCain.
There's plenty to admire about Palin, certainly, but unfortunately both
parties are very much guilty of exaggerating their own accomplishments and
taking the words and deeds of their opponents out of context. Early on
the republicans seemed to be doing more of this than the democrats, but it
now looks like Obama is rapidly catching up.
Of course, I suppose elections would be quite boring to the average
American if it wasn't so much of a Jerry Springer-esque spectacle.
Here's a recent whopper by Palin:
