I am afraid

Coming from exactly the kind of place filled with exactly the kind of people to whom Sarah Palin will appeal - truth or the lack thereof in her speech be damned - I am seriously at this moment dreading the onset of another Republican administration.

She really is a pitbull in lipstick, and frankly while I was liking her early in the speech, by the end I had a serious bad taste in my mouth. Other pundits were saying that would probably be a general reaction, of really walking away thinking she's not really so much charming as actually mean-spirited with a pretty smile. I hope, but doubt, that is true. I know where I come from, and this kind of shiny red poison apple feels like exactly what the good people of these United States love to swallow on down.
