Actually it's McCain and his people who are trying to con us. They conned *her* into thinking she was qualified, and she believed them. She's no more arrogant than any other politician; she just didn't have enough exposure to national politics to realize what she was getting into. I'm with Peter; I feel sorry for her. She got in way, way over her head, or rather McCain threw her in way over her head for what he thought would be his own political advantage. And it was, to start with. Now it's turning into a disaster. > > The best thing about the interview with Katie Couric is Katie's face > as Palin talks her nonsense.
