Politics is a contact sport.

Go by your own conscience.

I think it's very easy to get corrupted.

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

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.
