I watched Sarah Palin last night. She mocked Barack Obama's community organizing efforts. She made fun of his two memoirs. She belittled him for not using the word "victory" in regard to Iraq, but Gen. Petraeus also refuses to speak in such terms. Not John McCain, who will do anything to attain and retain power for the Republicans. In short, it was a disgusting performance with racial undertones and filled with empty rhetoric, fear and hatred.
