Just hearing here that the Palin kids didn't know until they arrived in Ohio...?
I'm not sure this is as weird as it sounds. Young kids and teenagers are not known for their poker faces. That doesn't mean I don't think the whole game of vp choices is altogether healthy, but I do understand why the campaigns (and the people on the short list) want to keep things under wraps.
Dear Journalists:
Every time Sarah P. shoves her family in our faces and tells us how wonderful and happy they all are, could you please ignore the bait she's throwing at you and ask a substantive policy question? I'd appreciate your cooperation in this matter of informing the US voting population about the actual issues we're facing as a country today.
Cheers! Me
