Yes, of course, because Alaska being the last American frontier, they don't have tv yet. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Peter T.

But even if she merely stumbled on how to deflect it, she still stumbled. And stumbling when faced with a "trap question" is not a quality I think we'd want in a potential president. Especially when the whole *point* of the question was to get a sense of Palin's philosophy and knowledge of the world, etc. I mean, everyone knew what magazines Ronald Reagan read, because he sometimes wrote for them too! But Palin was such a blank to most people, and had spent virtually her entire adult life in Alaska of all places, so, understandably, people wanted to get a sense of who she was, what she stood for, etc., etc. -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
