Re: Charging rape victims--Palin/Obama/Biden/McCain

The piece of this that is not clear to me is whether the issue ever came up during Palin's time as mayor. Was it policy, but, not enforced? Were any victims actually charged for the kit? I'm not defending the policy by any means. It's ridiculous. But, how much blame, if any, rests on Palin?

And... 10 rapes in a town of about 8000??? WOW! There are serious problems with that.

Anyway, this still would not cause me to vote for Obama. I had problems with McCain before he brought Palin into the fray. I have some problems with some things that have occurred with regard to Palin. But, none of those match my problems with Obama. Lesser of 2 (4?) evils? Yup, absolutely.
