Sarah Palin is a closet Obama fan. Don't take MY word for it. Her own words speak for themselves.
A few weeks ago, when Palin figured she was no longer in contention, she opened up a bit. The following is an excerpt from a recent article in The New Yorker. (Didn't like their infamous cover, but this article is interesting.)
Read it closely. Her own words reveal her admiration for Barack Obama.
(Article preface) 'Before she was running against him, Sarah Palin--the governor of Alaska and now the Republican candidate for Vice-President of the United States--thought it was pretty neat that Barack Obama was edging ahead of John McCain in her usually solidly red state.
After all, she said, Obama's campaign was using the same sort of language that she had in her gubernatorial race.'
(Quote from the article) "The theme of our campaign was new energy. It was no more status quo, no more politics as usual, it was all about change. So then to see that Obama - literally, part of his campaign uses those themes, even, new energy, change, all that, I think, O.K., well, we were a little bit ahead on that."
She also noted, "Something's kind of changing here in Alaska, too, for being such a red state on the Presidential level. Obama's doing just fine in polls up here, which is kind of wigging people out, because they're saying, 'This hasn't happened for decades that in polls the 'D' - the Democratic candidate - is doing just fine. To me, that's indicative, too. It's the no-more-status-quo, it's change."
What was THAT again? The only thing she isn't doing with this statement is actually STUMPING for Barack Obama.
Or maybe she is.
'Vote Obama. Even the Republican Vice-Presidential nominee likes him...'
John McCain and his campaign advisors should have vetted their selection just a bit more, I think.

Well isn't this rich! Maybe that is her plan all along, get Obama re-elected by acting like a total crazy, psychotic bitch.
