A national-security endorsement of Palin

Frank J. Gaffney Jr. of the Center for Security Policy rises to the defense of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin:

"Listening to her critics, one might think that John McCain's chosen running-mate is a complete ignoramus when it comes to matters of national security. In fact, Sarah Palin's background in Alaska, including most recently her service as that state's governor, suggests that the judgment of the Republicans' candidate for Vice President with respect to this portfolio is likely to be substantially better than that of either Barak Obama or Joe Biden."

Bears repeating: "likely to be substantially better than that of either Barak Obama or Joe Biden." Agreed Mr Gaffney and well stated.
