During the campaign, I didn't like Palin's attacks on Obama. They weren't 
attacks on his policies, but on him personally. I don't like that from any 
politician, but it seemed to be her 'job' as the pitbull in lipstick. 
Hearing her say things like "he doesn't see America the way WE do", implying 
that he's not one of 'us', really turned me off. She didn't do a thing to 
discourage the hatred at the rallies. I think that she particularly ran a 
very ugly, negative campaign, and if some of that ugliness is coming back at 
her, well, it's to be expected. Even McCain had enough of the negativity 
after a while and corrected the woman who said Obama was "an Arab".
