From last night's VP interviews, here's just a single line from Caribou Barbie:

"I'm, in that sense, a federalist, where I believe that states should have more say in the laws of their lands and individual areas."

Now, back when I was in civics class, a federalist was someone who approved of a strong Federal government, and wanted less power being given to the states. Perhaps it is different in Alaska.

I' be surprised if Palin has read the entire Constitution since middle school, much less the documents leading up to it. Except the "endowed by their Creator" part of the Declaration of Independence, which she probably thinks is part of the Constitution.
