The limitations of the internet could make this comment seem snarky, so I'm prefacing it with this disclaimer - it's not.
I'm glad you guys have at least half a presidential bid you can get behind rather than seeming wholly to be on the attack against a presidential bid you really abhor. That whole attack/defend scenario has switched around, and to a guy who'd like to think he would be one of these famous floating voters were he a US voter, my sympathies do tend, sometimes incorrectly, to lie with those on the receiving end.
I'd have some issues with Palin personally, politics/science-y related, but she seems to be doing quite a bit for the enthusiasm, and thus sanity, levels around here.
