Stop buying into how the media is presenting Governor Palin. She could be (and probably is) the most articulate, smartest, thoughtful politician out there. You don't rise to the level she has in the time she has without those qualities. Those who oppose her (CBS for one) are NEVER going to present her in a positive light. Never. Ever. Never ever. She can do a million interview every day and they're ALWAYS going to make it look as bad as they can by selective editing and outright lies.

They did the same thing to Ronald Reagan. Every leftist today STILL believes that he was a doddering old fool who was just lucky on some issues. That's not our problem. They are ALWAYS going to present that because to present otherwise validates his views. Palins views are like Reagans. Their views are the OPPOSITE of liberalism. They can NEVER present her as a serious politician. She is NOT there to have the media like her or to have them say nice things about her. She is there to serve.

STOP giving suggestions based on the media presents her. It's a worthless pursuit and only perpetuates their view.

Reagan was not seen as all that popular politically well into 1980. people saw him as a risk. empty headed.
