Is Ms. Palin's confidence enough?

On thursday, the ever popular Sarah Palin had her first unscripted interview with a major news source. All of America waited in anticipation to see what this hockey mom thought without her script running across the teleprompter. While the interview wasn't the smoothest, it was relatively successful for the Republican party. 

During the interview, Sarah Palin was the ultimate politician, jumping around every question, much to the dismay of Charles Gibson. The only questions that she was able to respond to with a straight answer, were those that were pre-scripted. You could visibly tell which were scripted because her confidence suddenly peeked and she would have something other than the stiff smile playing across her face. At one point during the interview Mr. Gibson actually asked "Is that a yes?"

If you can't tell yet, I do not think that this vice-presidential candidate is ready to lead. She can't seem to work on her own, and seems to have skewed views of the world around her. She doesn't want to teach sex education in school, yet she has a seventeen year old daughter pregnant. She wanted to ban books, much like we all read in Fahrenheit  451. 

And what does she have against polar bears anyway?
