Palin who?
By Wally EdgeU.S. Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) for his vice presidential running mate came as a surprise to almost everyone.
She was little-known outside of her home state. During her 2006 gubernatorial campaign, she collected only a handful of contributions from 18 states other than her own. Hardly surprising or out of the ordinary for a state-level race, but it suggests she does not have a national fundraising network.
Palin collected just one $50 check from John Bender of Lexington for her gubernatorial campaign.

Get a Life
Wally, You really do need to get a life with such blurred thinking as this. What has this got to do with the Presidential Election? I think you joined Billy in that song, "Billy's Got His Beer Goggles On" because obviously even a dumb liberal can't think up stupid stuff like this. I would even bet that you're not only a Liberal, you're a Democrat too aren't you?
