Things that happen when you get to the big show...

Hello Blogging World,
Well, Sarah Palin has arrived, and it looks like the media is going to keep her around. American citizens are intrigued by this unknown from Alaska, and the media is rushing to get as much info as possible. So it isn't at all surprising that an e-mail sent by Wasilla, Alaska resident, Anne Kilkenny, to her friends has escaped onto the world-wide web. The letter is intriguing and has definitely started the conversations. However, what I have begun to realize is that criticism rarely changes people's minds. Palin's critics love the letter and cite everything as fact, while her supporters look at is as vindictive slander. The only people who this will truly affect are people like me who just can't quite put our finger on how we feel about Ms. Palin. So, I urge anyone wandering upon Anne Kilkenny's letter who is still left undecided to look at the facts, verify them to the best of your ability, and please make your OWN opinion. Good luck! America needs someone, but who that will be is up to us.
