Actually Cory, you are mistaken. Although I said that she probably would have gotten around to Potter and Stephen King, she didn't target either J.K. or Stephen specifically. The list that was passed around the 'net, supposedly a list of books she tried to ban, was in error. It was just a list taken from a site which lists all the books that school boards and public libraries have been defending in various court cases recently.
As far as I can tell, the "A.V. Club" is the first article to mention the actual titles she and her "church ladies" in Wassila, intended to remove from public view.
As far as to "why we don't like Palin"... "a simple soccer Mom" from Alaska... Well, she's running for the second most powerful job in the United States. Possibly number one, should McCain not make it through his first term as President, either from outright death, or ending up on a ventilator in a private room somewhere. And, gosh darn it, it just seems to me that having "a simple soccer Mom" in charge of our nuclear aresenal, and our combined military might, just makes me a little on edge, don'tcha know? Especially when that "simple soccer Mom" couldn't find Iran on a map if her life depended on it. Hell, she's five weeks in to her "campaign" and she still hasn't bothered to pick up a copy of the Constitution, and look up what the definition of the position of VP entails! (Article One, Section 3, Clause 4, BTW...) The other night at the debate, when asked about the duties and responsabilities of the office, Biden had to correct her. She gave the Cheany "Darth Vader" response that the VP was, in essence, a fourth branch of the government, who answered to no one.
That's why I dislike this "simple soccer Mom": she's utterly unprepared for the job. Literally, from the press interviews so far, I'd say Paris Hilton would have been a better choice... (at least she has a viable energy policy)
