Ok, I can't stand Palin
An anti-woman's rights, pro NRA,* "hockey mom," Republican woman was unlikely to be someone I liked, but it's amazing how much I look at her and all I see is Bush 2.0.
Has anyone noticed how all the people in Palin's past who she clearly did awful things to are not available for comment in the various articles? It's explained easily--in a word: fear. Interestingly, here is a chain email currently sweeping the net from someone who lived in the town Palin was mayor of attacking Palin's policies and explaining why no one else will speak out:

One of the lines that bothered me most: In regards to Palin's fiscal policy, she would "spend today's surplus, borrow for needs." I'm convinced this is now standard Republican doctrine today- keep the people happy by giving them money while bankrupting their future so the next administration is forced to clean it up/fix it. Basically, the cure for democrats social programs is to bankrupt the government so they can't possibly afford social programs. For christ's sake, she ran a city with a population of 6k people into 22 million dollars of debt!!!
I wish there would be more public outrage that Palin tried to censor the public library. If I had my way it would be illegal to hold public office after an act like that.**
She frankly sounds like the kind of partisan backstabbing awful "my way or the highway" human being that we've had for the last 7 years. The idea of this person in the presidency is just a nightmare. Can you imagine her environmental policy? "Trash it." And hell, her fiscal policy remains a joke. Worse, as the comments on that article prove, nothing will disuade some Republicans from being convinced that all Democrats are evil, and Republican candidates are godsends.
I never disliked McCain until the day he traded his morals and ethics for the Republican nomination. Even then, I secretly held out hope--I still hold out hope--that McCain as president would buck his party and renege on half his campaign promises and be the candidate that he originally promised to be. If McCain wins, my greatest fear will be that he'll die and this woman will take office.
*Not that I dislike the NRA constitutionally.
**National security issues aside but if there is an actual published book called "how to build a nuclear bomb," I sure haven't heard of it.
