Reply #29: I really don't think Sarah has much regard

for the "Republican Party." She rose to power here by seeming to challenge the "old-style" Republicans, and, in fact, some of her harshest critics were and continue to be members of her own party. It doesn't surprise me in the least that she would choose the dinner over the RNC, especially because (at least before she was nominated for VP) she expressed admiration for Obama. That's what was so shocking to us here in Alaska when she went all "attack dog" on the campaign trail.

Now she's really in a bind because she can't backtrack and be bipartisan and cooperative without looking like a major hypocrite to both sides.

And, of course, blatantly lying doesn't help.
