She was running on the presidential ticket for the love of Pete, not for prom queen. She is fun and all, but the last thing this country needs is another unsophisticated, unknowledgeable, incurious, incomprehensible person as president. How is asking her questions about policy and history tearing her down? Comon, the media just held her up to a reasonable standard of investigation.

How is asking her questions about policy and history tearing her down?

Democrats say that the $30 billion plan would make loans for small businesses less difficult to come by and give them billions in tax breaks. Republicans object to the large amount of federal spending in the bill; "While I support the bill's tax incentives for America's job-creating small businesses, I can't support creating yet another lending fund that turns the Treasury Department into our national bank," said one GOP Senator. Despite the minority party’s loud objections, the bill could pass next week after further negotiations. Obama has been pushing hard for the plan, which has already passed in the House. nate Republicans blocked a bill that would increase lending to small businesses yesterday, reports Reuters.

Reagan also talked about inclusiveness, about that "big tent". But then there are many people who don't consider Reagan to have been a "true" conservative because of certain positions he took. Maybe, just maybe, what America is hungry for is that strong centrist party that can let everyone run openly and honestly for what is important to their constituents instead of an extensive list of what is important to party ideologues. Maybe people don't want the full social and fiscal "conservative" platform, they just don't want the full social and fiscal "progressive" platform either. Maybe that is why the independents, the "Reagan Democrats" and "Clinton Republicans", keep jumping back and forth in who they support, switching which party is in power every few elections. Maybe thinking they needed total ideological purity is what drove the Democrats to go too far so now they are facing such a dramatic shift in power in the House of Representatives, and possibly even the Senate. Of course that means Obama didn't win because of ideological purity, he won because McCain was a weenie, and enough of those centrists held the Republicans as a whole responsible for the failures of Bush.

He appealed to the voters that were wavering by sacrificing honesty and that got him elected. People don't like being lied to, especially by politicians and I think people are ready for somebody that will actually stand for what they believe. IMHO "Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors, which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?" ~Ronald Reagan speech at CPAC in 1975 This is what America is hungry for again....
