I agree. I don’t really see anything wrong with her answer. Maybe a nod to Palin such as “We like Sarah Palin a lot but I have no idea of she’s even interested in running for the nomination in 2012 and neither do you... so speculating on who I’m going to vote for in 2012 is just silly at this point. We’re barely done with the 2008 election.” That probably could have cut off the “gotcha” at the pass.

I agree. Why would anyone select their horse before knowing all the horses in the field?
