Depends on the person asking. In her case, I think it might be relevant for her to try to get Palin to slip up. She stands to gain a significant amount of money if Obama is elected, as I’ve read that she has a book slated for publication the day after the election that praises obama and how he’s going to lead our country in the right direction.
Before everybody gets all bent out of shape, McCain has said he was OK with her not being completely impartial. There is a youtube clip of it, although I didn’t watch it with sound so I dunno what he says or the tone that he says it. Food for thought though. Also, the day after the election we get to read Michelle Obama’s racist senior thesis when she was at princeton. That should be a gem LOL
