A great deal of them. I suppose that I may have erred in my assumption that
you are an adult of course.  My apologies if my assumption was unwarranted.

Indeed. There are plenty of GOPAC people involved in the campaign. I'd
happily bet money that she is being followed around by GOPAC people and that
they are the ones putting material in front of her. Most of it currently
would be debate prep material one would presume.

Ah, so you want me to believe that Obama would not have been called out if
he had given the same answer she did and that there is a conspiracy against
Palin. That counts as the other side? I'll try to consider the conspiracy
angle first next time, I promise.

The inclusion of DailyKos was an attempt to how someone on the left wing
could end up in much the same position as the one I think Palin finds
herself in now.  Replace GOPAC with DFA Nightschool, for instance, and you
could easily end up with someone on the left who is brought up as a well
handled true believer that is politically talented and intelligent but has
little or no serious exposure to conflicting view points.

And yes, that was stupid of you.
