re: Free Sarah Palin   [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

Watch this video of her in the Charlie Rose green room earlier this year: It's short and light but it's a completely comfortable Palin being herself. And she has advice: You can't please everyone all the time. You can't worry about what they're thinking about you. You can only do your best and put it in God's hands.

She should take her own advice when it comes to all the McCain advisers around her right now.

We know what's pleasing to people about Sarah Palin. The authenticity. The love of country. A lot of good instincts. She should run with them. The campaign should let her run with that. She should take her own advice and not worry about the name of the finance minister of Costa Rica people are cramming into her head so much.

If she had been as comfortable walking into an interview with Katie Couric as she was with Charlie Rose — ready to push back and have a little fun while doing it like she did with some Republicans in Alaska —  no one would be worried at all about this week's debate.
