Put This in the Pipeline and Smoke It (1)

Frankly, when it comes to knowledge about oil, which most seem to agree is a major national security and domestic issue, Palin knows more than the rest.

I have been floating around the GOP Convention pre-events and talking to people about Sarah Palin. At the meeting of the Convention's Rules Committee meeting, I have heard that women on the committee and female staff were so excited and moved that they literally started crying. The amount of energy from all parts of the coalition here seem very excited. Over the last 24 hours, I have started to hear some good, positive, fact-driven arguments ...Shared by Jeff Q (2)Contribute comment -
