Oldgirl, not everyone is proud of Hillary Clinton either. She was one of the popular choices, but she has a lot of baggage from her past. Seems her and Bill leave death and destruction behind them. She is a true politician. I admire Palin's grit and spunk. She has a lot of what a lot of women wish we had. And she is definately a Washington OUTSIDER. Kind of a nice change. However, she does have a special needs child that needs her at home.
