As long as the McCain campaign wants to make Palin the poster child of the republican ticket instead of the Arizona Senator himself, we’ll take them up on the offer. This is a politician with zero foreign policy experience. And you won’t believe the Republican’s latest attempt to try and hide that. GOP strategists are [...]
