‘So hard to define’: Sarah Palin round-up and misc. news
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin round-up:
Mitt Romney says let her speak. Yep. The same Romney thought to be on the VP short list.
Biden beware.
Conservative columnists are not getting in line. Or rather, they are getting out of line.
But when you knock her down, she gets right back up and fights harder, says the Financial Times.
Still, Salon.com’s Rebecca Traister has no pity for this pit bull.
And, just for kicks, what’s your favorite Supreme Court case?
In other news:
Very Short List points us today to Everymoment Now, a visual representation of what’s in the news. It’s a very interesting way to look at news events.
The Art the Vote billboards are up. I saw one on Westbound Highway 40 today, near the Boyle exit (I think).
Snow on Mars. That’s a good place for it.
Jamie Riley is the P-D letters editor and gatekeeper of the letters blog. Before joining the editorial page in May 2005, she was a reporter and page designer. Jamie lives in University City with her husband, Charles, daughter, Elise, and the world's best Jack Russell terrier, Logan, better known as Stinky. 
Gee, Jamie, thanks for coming through with that balance you promised from conservative sites. You are obviously not a person who keeps their word, but then again you work for the Post-Dispatch so the bar has been extremely lowered already. I sent you several interesting possibilites to help you but apparently they did not meet your criteria.
I’ve had enough, thanks.
Yeah, Acentric, The Christian Science Monitor is such a radical left newspaper. I do find it interesting though that Jamie had to go to The Financial Times to find a positive article.
I am all for her speaking in public the same way Senator Biden has been doing all along. It was not as if Katie Couric was being that tough on her, of course she was used to Hannity-type soft question lobs (What do you think Barack Obama is doing wrong?).
Gov. Palin and others of her conservative religious right-wing Republican band see themselves as belonging to the party of God — oh wait, that would make her Hezbollah and a member of a terrorist organization — someone call Chertoff…..
I feel sorry for Sarah Palin. She is obviously way out of her league. It’s sad to see her and John McCain blame so called “gotcha” journalism on her many gaffs. I think she is a smart woman who had accomplished very much in her political career but she is not anywhere close to being prepared to be President of the United States and her religious idealology scares me.
JB, Truman did not consider himself qualified to be President when he accepted the VP nomination under the gravely ill FDR. Yet he rose to the occasion. Palin with her strong character and right philosophy can do the same.

Who is truly qualified to me President? No one truly knows that. But, one can see and recognize attributes that would make one a great leader. PALIN HAS NONE OF IT!
How could anyone honestly say she does and, how can you people continue to ignore what appears as extremely poor and immature and mayble even illegal actions as a leader in Alaska? These people who say she does have what it takes, DOES NOT HAVE THE TRUTH IN THEM, AS THE GOOD BOOK SAYS!
If ideology is set aside, Hillary Clinton and Obama have no qualifications or abilities beyond those of Palin. Of course, ideology is key, so eloquence, memorization, and a term in the Senate become super credentials to the elitist of the left.
Although my wife thinks I’m Chauvinist, I’ll take a mom over a Marxist in the White House any day. But I’m willing to admit I vote ideologically.
Jamie Riley:
It’s disappointing to see you join the bitter, hateful atmosphere that permeates the Post-Dispatch but I do realize that you’re expected to pitch in because many positions are shorthanded from their need to dig and scratch up obscure priorities for the Editors to justify bold endorsements for candidates of the same political party they have clung to for eons.

“Gee, Jamie, thanks for coming through with that balance you promised from conservative sites. You are obviously not a person who keeps their word, ”
You must have forgotten you provided 2 links on the forum of Jamie’s last column.
We all saw them.
Nobody stopped you
Jamie let you publish the links
Go get them and republish the links again
Instead of your continual whining be proactive and go get the links
We’ll be waiting

Bill
I’ve read many books about Harry Truman - his life, his politics, his character
I’ve visited his home and Presidential museum
I’ve reviewed his credentials at the time he accepted the nomination for VP
Bill, I can assure you and the rest of the world
Sarah Palin is no Harry Truman
STL - so why didn’t the Post D post the video of Lacy Clay defending Franklin Raines work at Fannie Mae in 2004 by saying he was being lynched?
