I agree totally with most of the comments expressed in this thread.

She is the epitome of every rotten aspect of contemporary American culture rolled into one person.

She's a caricature. A walking (and sadly) talking bad pun.

The only thing I might be able to contribute that you didn't touch on is the complete lack of worthiness.

While people like Senators Clinton and Obama were dedicating themselves to improving the lives of their fellow citizens and WORKING to make things happen, Gov. Palin was reading sports scores and eating mooseburgers.

She just hasn't earned a governorship, much less a presidency.
