    Tammy… I think you misinterpreted JLThorpe’s chat comment referred to in the Podcast. He was being critical of the double standard applied to the ‘quitting’ thing (very well done I might add). I am quite sure he is not a ‘plant’ TAM who in some subversive way is out to dis Governor Palin.

    Just saying…. Dude ?… It’s JLThorpe !!
