debate over Palin

This article, just published on CNN.com, has some pretty interesting points for/against Palin's candidacy; it's clearly leaning in one direction, but does offer up at least a little bit about both sides:

"She came in with bats swinging and hit a home run with me," said iReporter Barbara Grant of New Haven, Connecticut.

vs.

Green Party supporter Rick Seno sees Palin as "the female Republican version of Barack Obama." The Dallas, Texas, resident said he noticed several similarities between the two politicians as Palin delivered her convention speech. "She's a talented speaker. She gives a great speech. She has the ability to capture people's attention and give them hope and make them excited," he said. "But when it comes to her record and her lack of experience, she is equally unprepared to be in the White House."

vs.

James Martin of Mooresville, South Carolina, described Palin as "nasty, crude and totally unacceptable as VP." He was especially offended by the "cheap shots" she took at Obama and Democratic running mate Joe Biden.
