Wasilla to the White House The headline of Kinsley's essay "Alaskanomics" [Sept. 22] enticed me to read on, expecting a cogent article which would give me an insight into the current brouhaha surrounding Sarah Palin's entry into the White House race. However, by the final sentence I was wondering where you had dug up this misogynist ranter who also believes that all Alaskans are leeches and not "real Americans." I am going to guess that he is journalist who lives, or has lived, in Washington. Sarah has really got to those ol' boys. You go, girl...
...Peggy Noonan's eighth book, Patriotic Grace, the Wall Street Journal columnist and frequent TV pundit talks about the necessity of national unity (and maturity) in today's turbulent times. TIME talked to Noonan about sequestering Sarah Palin, her infamous "hot mike" incident and which real-life candidate would make the best fictional President...

I thought she gave an excellent speech [at the Republican convention] and she is a moving and rousing figure. But I became concerned as the weeks passed at the manner in which the McCain campaign was treating her like she was a Fabergé Easter egg - don't drop it! It might crack! I can tell you that her interviews - to the extent that she has thought aloud - have not been impressive...
...feel very protective of her. That having been said, we are the press - the reporters of the United States of America. We have every right to question this Vice Presidential candidate as we do every candidate for that office. I'm sorry they blew it with the unveiling of Palin, but at the end of the day, that's no reason to sequester a candidate. It's not right and it looks vaguely infantilizing...
