...have to admire Palin's handlers, who have created an image of her as a victim of the media. It allows them to justify Palin's not having a single press conference: She is just protecting herself and her family. How convenient! Janan Weinstein, Crystal Lake, illinois...
...many others do, I believe Bristol Palin's pregnancy is a family matter. Yet Governor Palin decided to accept McCain's offer to be his running mate knowing her daughter's pregnancy would become fodder for the press. Who thinks it's O.K. to put a 17-year-old girl through this? Christopher B. Romeo, Knoxville, Tennessee...

Klein's musings on Palin leave readers with the impression that she is a kook for whom only kooks or extremists would vote. I guess he believes that a majority of Alaskans fall into those categories. Such partisan writing is unbecoming to TIME and taints the dialogue that is necessary in an election campaign. Mordecai Berger, Melbourne...

Speaking to ministry students at her former church in June, Palin said: "Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [those soldiers] out on a task that is from God." By excising all but the last seven words, Klein turned a sincere expression of hope into a flat declaration of fact. He needs to check his own facts more carefully. Nina Peters, Mclean, Virginia...
...want to thank Klein for his endorsement of John McCain. In writing that McCain's choice of Palin shows what kind of President McCain will be, Klein meant to insult McCain. But the country has now seen for itself what a brilliant, forward-looking choice McCain made. Klein and many others in the angry-left media have once again hurt their friends by trying too hard to help them. Steve Hefter, Highland Park, Illinois...
