Yeah, I'm just enjoying the introduction to her as a crazy-ass fictional character. If I thought of her as potentially the President of the US someday, well, her strengths and weaknesses as a mother, sister, or spouse would be pretty much irrelevant ... but I'd be appalled by her actual, you know, policy positions. She thinks states should pay parents for homeschooling! She thinks schools should teach creationism! She can't decide what her policy is on Iraq! She thinks the federal government should not tax oil company profits but that it's great for Alaska to do so!

Meh. Why get all worked up about it when I could just write the story about her Dream Date with Thomas Eagleton?
