Governor Palin to Politico: Take Your Liberal Biased Debate And Shove It!

Let us not mince words. It’s pretty clear that Governor Palin, with her years of experience in running a business, close to 20 years of public service, and her vast experience in energy, is running for President of the United States. She will be participating in a lot of debates but the liberal biased Politico/NBC debate will not be one of them.

This is idiotic, even for Smith.
