Palin's mother-in-law uncertain about how she'll vote
It's a sad day when one of your close relatives won't even vote for you. In a recent article , Sarah Palin's mother-in-law shared with a reporter that she is "uncertain about how she'll vote." I'm sorry, but if your daughter-in-law is running for such a high-ranking office and you're "uncertain" about how you'll vote so close to the election, you're either amazingly ignorant, or just plain lying. Faye Palin admitted , "We (Sarah Palin) don't always agree on everything. But I respect her passion." She even goes on to snub Sarah with a laugh, "I'm not sure what she brings to the ticket other than she's a woman and a conservative." Well, that will certainly make for an awkward Thanksgiving dinner.

This should make us think about Sarah Palin's ability to lead. Most who have just been introduced to Palin, are wary of her. This shows that those who know her well don't even agree with her. This scares me, and should scare all Americans.
there's nothing to be scared about, she disagrees with Palin. Everyone disagrees with somebody. Close friends and family disagree all the time especially about politics. Just because they are close doesnt mean they agree on everything. Besides people forget they are voting for John McCain first not Palin.
I also find the mother in-law's comment to be very ignorant. That would be like if Obama had a friend who was uncertain how they would vote and said I'm not sure what he brings to the ticket other than he's black and a liberal. That's plain ignorant and stupid. I wouldn't listen to someone like that.
I agree with you guive that it's okay for political views to differ within a family, even a family with someone running for VP. But I don't necessarily think of the comments as ignorant. I think her stance comes from trying to be polite about her daughter-in-law, and trying not to slander her in any way. As for her comment about what she brings to the ticket, I think it's just plain true. I mean obviously she is intelligent and could potentially make a great politician, but she was picked strategically for those very reasons: being female and a Rebulican. McCain wanted to take advantage of these traits to rally the conservative base, and pick up the female voters who may have voted for Clinton.
