Palin 2012..........No
Palin Didn't Know Africa Is A Continent, Says Fox News Reporter (VIDEO)
Now that the 2008 election is over, reporters are spilling all the juciest, and previously off the record, gossip from the campaign trail. Much of it is about the infighting between Palin and McCain's staff, as Newsweek's treasure trove of post-election gossip reveals.
However, perhaps one of the most astounding and previously unknown tidbits about Sarah Palin has to do with her already dubious grasp of geography. According to Fox News Chief Political Correspondent Carl Cameron, there was great concern within the McCain campaign that Palin lacked "a degree of knowledgeability necessary to be a running mate, a vice president, a heartbeat away from the presidency," in part because she didn't know which countries were in NAFTA, and she "didn't understand that Africa was a continent, rather than a series, a country just in itself."
Palin was apparently a nightmare for her campaign staff to deal with. She refused preparation help for her interview with Katie Couric and then blamed her staff, specifically Nicole Wallace, when the interview was panned as a disaster. After the Couric interview, Fox News reported, Palin turned nasty with her staff and began to accuse them of mishandling her. Palin would view press clippings of herself in the morning and throw "tantrums" over the negative coverage. There were times when she would be so nasty and angry that her staff was reduced to tears.
Watch the clip from The O'Reilly Factor below.

I have seen the two separate stories on Palin not knowing Africa was a continent, and not knowing what countries are in North America. Uh....Canada, US, and Mexico.....duh.
Saying she's a "reformer" and then buying $150,000 worth of clothes after she was advised to spend $20,000.
Her husband, Todd got $10,000 worth of clothes.
What a crock.
She should go back to the uneducated white trash that live in Alaska.
Oh yeah.....Palin claimed the "worked with her hands."
I still cannot find which job this was. Anybody know?Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

All of the sudden last night I saw her speaking and her good ol' gal just talkin' with ma people accent has disappeared and she is actually speaking like an educated person again.....if I were a Republican I would take offense to her dumbing down her own tone of speaking....
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

She spoke entirely different than in the campaign: vocabulary, accent, etc.
Ridiculous.
Patronizing white working class people. A very pathetic tactic, and likely engineered by Steve Schmidt (campaign strategist) and other former GWB campaign managers that McCain used.Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

Don't count out Palin yet.. she was more popular than McCain to Republicans, according to Rasmussen. Whether or not she can win is questionable though.. the media did a great job of diminishing her to the majority who can't look past the end of their noses.

Some rumors suggest she could try for Stevens seat depending on what transpires. Originally Posted by busyLivin

She is very divisive however, and already has splintered the party.Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
