You cannot define her, and that is why not only will she never drop off the ticket, but why she has generated a groundswell to the tune of $10 million over the weekend she was announced in campaign contributions. But the media hounds just don't know what to make of a true reformer, in the face of someone who's already proven that she is a true agent of change. So they make _up_ whatever they can.
But the truth is conservative America is beaten them to the punch, and that is why it was a stroke of genius. Nothing leaked about the Palin choice, Obama was caught completely unprepared, and while they and the media struggle to catch up, she has already galvanized the base. Christians and evangelical groups who don't need the media to know Sarah's values, women who are proud of her courage to accept the VP position despite the challenges of her family life, 2nd Ammendment groups and sportsmen who know she relates and supports them, parents of special needs children... Sarah is already defined.
