But... as a voter, or at least a Democratic one, it's the conservative Republican values that are problematic. If our elected officials didn't shape policy, hire administration staff, pass laws, etc, etc, then it would be easy to just vote for who we found likable or smart (Palin is apparently both).
But eventually ideology matters, policy positions matter, and on that score I find Palin hard to be enthusiastic about, in terms of someone who has stated she leans Democratic. Which is why I was asking what, if any issues or policies she cared about, and if the McCain/Palin ticket actually supported them better than Obama/Biden.
