I don't know American views on Palin, but the rest of us only see her as a puppet for 'women's votes' in the US, other than that a CHEERLEADER.
All that BS about 'pipelines' will not give her credence whatsoever, and if people in the US wish to have her as a stand-by President then it's their choice but the rest of the world will be very concerned, or are you so dumb you cannot see it.
