It has occurred to me that since I'm leaving for Jamaica on October 16, and voting absentee before I leave, if Ms Palin doesn't give some indication of her abilities and/or knowledge before that date I would be unable to vote for her at all. I do not intend to vote that way, but those others who might be debating whom they prefer, and are absentee voting, won't know a dang thing about her other than that she can see Russia from her house and that she kills defenseless animals. Hmmmm . . . Has this occurred to others?
