Her windfall profits tax on Alaska oil makes me think the only thing conservative about her is her position on abortion, and that just cant be a litmus test any longer.  The GOP needs more Palin?  Really?  She has become a caricature of herself.

Pure fluff.  They should have saved some paper today and left out the editorial page.
