They are both independent-minded. Palin is obviously given scripts to read, otherwise she wouldn't contradict herself so much. She's on record in Alaska saying she admired Obama's change mantra, and his energy policy. Now Obama's a supposed socialist and friend of terrorists. She publically stated, in that bar, that she supports targeted raids into Pakistan, yet-- only yesterday-- she condemned the same statements coming from Obama.

When she is allowed to speak frankly, she expresses her own opinions. The campaign is stifling her.
