FWIW, over the past few months I've gone back and forth thinking that Gov. Palin may sound like she's whining or that she is making valid and important points.

I've settled on my view that she is making valid and important points. I think all Republicans should try to see it that way -- it strengthens an important GOP politician ("Hey, she's making a good point") and it throws doubt (!) on the objectivity of the MSM. That's a win-win for conservatives, whereas shrugging and say "Maybe she is whiny" can only help the Democrats.

Yes an hour seems long but the interview length was decided by the broadcasters, not the Palins. She’s a beautiful young lady with a Mama who could be our president someday.
