I would LOVE nothing more than to have a legitimate US politician who has strong personal convictions and stands by them. I just want that person to be informed, intelligent and capable of critically thinking about those convictions. Palin, despite everything else, has achieved quite a lot and I wouldn't detract that from her, but her convictions, as far as I can tell, are informed either by what the party has told her she should think or by her immediate emotional responses to the world. Neither of those are the kinds of convictions I want leading the country.
