Politics is a contact sport.

Go by your own conscience.

I think it's very easy to get corrupted.

What people don't understand about Sarah Palin is that she is a rancher's wife. From Alberta down to Texas I've known women like that: good common sense, bright and vilified by city people.

I generally don't follow domestic news that much aside from how it relates to the stories I'm covering abroad, like what Americans think of the War in Afghanistan.

So I'm just waiting until one party or the other actually gets a moral compass and a backbone.
