Back off of Palin. The election is over. However, a whole lot of mainstream American women related to her and the guys all loved her. Yes, her daughter got knocked up. How many families in America deals with this news every day. Palin is attractive and presents herself well. No, she is not the most intelligent women on this planet, but she is a governor and seems to be doing a good job in Alaska, i.e. her 90% approval rating among Alaskans. She hunts, fishes, bobsleds, skis, snowmobiles with her husband and family. How many of you can do what she does? She is not an elitist like those who feel entitled in this country like those who graduate from Harvard, Princeton, Yale (Skull & Bones), Oxford (Rhodes scholars), Wellesley and all other Ivy League School. Perhaps, this Country needs more mainstream scholars running this country. We wouldn't be in the financial mess we are in. Robert Ruben, Goldman Sachs. Its was Robert Ruben's "off balancing" creative accounting which brought down Arthur Anderson, Enron, Worldcom and a host of other companies which used the same scheme. Jake Brace and Goodwin incorporated this same accounting scheme and look where we ended up in bankruptcy.
