I have been watching the political scene with considerable interest. As it has been billed, this is indeed a historical time for our nation. We all know what is at stake, at least it should be known. With great concern, I watched the speech by Gov. Sarah Palin last evening. In her entire address to the convention, the true issues in our country that need to be addressed, were not mentioned. The vast majority of her time she spent attacking the credentials of the Democratic nominee. I can't help but wonder, just how intelligent is Gov. Palin? Can't she see and doesn't she know she is being used? She is already being kept from the news media for fear she may say something out of place. One can only speculate just how long she will last in office, if the voting public votes for four more years of Bush.
