Well that's pretty vague. Though all politicians, those four individuals are very different people who operate in vastly different ways. Congratulations on your impressive power of observation, "outing" Palin as a just another politician. In other news, the sky is blue.

Politics is politics, and politicians are driven to varying behaviors based on public perceptions. Perhaps Bristol Palin's fresh conversion to abstinence really is nothing but a Palin family political ploy; I don't know. But the general anti-Palin animus out there is starting to match Bush Derangement Syndrome in excessive cynicism.
