Let's see here here Ursula highlights from Todd programs Vanity Fair piece and again can take it take it. For what it's worth community fear you know was you know how left wing they are. The top McCain aides who tried hard to work with -- Steve Schmidt the chief strategist Nicole Wallace the communications -- and Tucker -- were traveling counselor were barely on speaking terms whether -- news organizations were reporting. That MM anonymous McCain aides sought pay one. As a diva. And a quote on quote lack. Job. At one point trying out a debating point that she believes that showed she can empathize with uninsured Americans Palin told McCain age Sheehan taught in the early years of their marriage. Had been unable to afford health insurance of any kind and had gone without it until he got his union card went to work for BP British Petroleum on the north slope of Alaska. Checking with Todd Palin himself revealed that no they had catastrophic coverage all along. She insisted they catastrophic insurance didn't really count they need not be revealed. The sort of slippery -- about bolt what the truth was and whether the truth even mattered -- questions great small. Items. By all accounts -- was either unwilling or simply unable to prepare.

A pervasive pattern of -- our city in fear deceit or behavior need for admiration and lack of empathy. And thought it fit her perfectly. I don't. And you're going 80% of Alaska's viewed Palin very favorably or somewhat favorably by this spring just 55%. Have a positive opinion that's a that's a big step. Okay anyway I'm some -- Romney I'm still for Romney I like like met -- I figure you know am I am for Massachusetts.
