On the issue of serving on boards, given the responsibility of board members, politicians having the experience can be good. I would not dismiss a political candidate just because they served on a board, even if it was for an organization I fundamentally dislike.

I started reading posts today from the past three days, I think there are about 3 or 4 threads on the subject of Palin, they are not issue based but are mocking and are dismissive of her, her family, her state, her experience, her values, and McCain's reasons for selecting her. Granted, it could be me - because I think she is a good pick and in my perception the attacks are vicious. I did not see the vicious smears that were circulated on Obama show up on TFP, but I don't think the folks here have missed any smear regarding Palin.
