Palin is not representative of the intelligence and forward-looking perspective necessary to take us through this crisis or for the next 8 years. McCain is a disaster. He is not knowledgeable about technology (which has been America's strength for many years) and doesn't understand energy. Palin THINKS she understands energy, but she knows nothing about Concentrator Photovoltaics, Geothermal, Fuel Cells, solar thermal, amorphous silicon (thin film photovoltaics), etc. She only knows how the old world got its energy - through petroleum. What she also either doesn't know or doesn't mention is that when you drill in the ocean below a sea depth of 500 feet, you disturb stores of frozen methane gas. If this gas is disturbed and rises to the surface, it can have catastrophic effects from a global warming perspective, substantially more than CO2. She knows nothing and it's embarrassing that my old party even put her on the ticket. I wanted to pass this response on to the mass media. Maybe Katie Curic can ask "the deer in the headlights" these questions..if she negotiates foreign affairs, with Puten flying over Alaska, surely she should be able to answer these simple questions. Palin says, "the media keeps asking her dumb media questions" maybe these questions won't be so dumb !.
I think McCain will dump the heiress, since he no longer needs her money and will marry the "VP nominee" what do you think folks??? You Betcha
