I shudder to think what would happen if I ever ran for office. I'm not a gun nut by any stretch of the imagination, but there is a photo of me floating around somewhere posed with an M-16 in full punk-rocker-chick regalia standing in front of a guy with a mohawk. I'm pretty sure my campaign would end before it began.

There are many reasons to dislike Palin, but I don't think the fact that she posed with a gun is one of them.
