Palin cannot even answer a softball question about national security
This may be the reason for the McCain campaign to keep Palin away from foreign policy questions and just concentrate on answering questions about being a hockey mom.
Sarah Palin made her first unscripted appearance Wednesday at a town hall meeting with John McCain.
A questioner throws up a softball about her national security credentials and she does the run-around.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Governor Palin, there has been quite a bit of discussion about your perceived lack of foreign policy experience. And I want to give you your chance. If you could please respond to that criticism and give us specific skills that you think you have to bring to the White House to rebut that or mitigate that concern.
PALIN: Well, I think because I’m a Washington outsider that opponents are going to be looking for a whole lot of things that they can criticize and they can kind of try to beat the candidates here, who chose me as his partner, to kind of tear down the ticket. But as for foreign policy, you know, I think that I am prepared and I know that on January 20th, if we are so blessed as to be sworn into office as your president and vice president, certainly we’ll be ready. I’ll be ready. I have that confidence. I have that readiness.
And if you want specifics with specific policy or countries, go ahead and you can ask me. You can even play stump the candidate if you want to. But we are ready to serve.

You had 3,500 loyalists in that town hall meeting, and you were given a chance to say something unprepared, and Palin blows it.
Would anyone on the conservative side like to comment on this?
