    WHY DID PALIN ACCEPT?

    One question I haven't heard asked about Governor Palin is: why did she accept McCain's offer? Surely, she is smart enough to know that she is being used? A beauty queen mom can "soften" some of the most archaic political ideas in existence. When any of the old white guys of the Republican party express these ideas, they just come off as mean and superior. (We have a tendency to assign positive qualities to beautiful people.) Coming from Ms. Palin, the vilest thoughts appear to be cute and harmless.
