Her first trip out of the country was in 2007 and most of it consisted of flyovers and refueling stops.

ST.PAUL — Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin got her first passport in 2006 and has visited just four countries, and she had little involvement in her state's cross-border issues, raising questions about her supporters' assertions that Alaska's proximity to Russia has given her unique experience on foreign affairs.

In seeking to demonstrate the first-term Alaska governor's readiness to be John McCain's second-in-command, campaign officials have maintained that Palin has had to deal with unique security challenges and manage complex diplomatic and trade relations.

However, a review of Palin's 20 months in office shows that aside from overseeing the National Guard's state-level emergency missions, as all governors do, the first-term governor played no role in any territorial defense or other national defense operations involving military forces. In an interview with the Globe, the head of the Alaska National Guard said her role commanding the National Guard was no different from that of any other governor.

Palin has also visited one fewer country than originally acknowledged by her Alaska office. Earlier in the week, the governor's Alaska spokeswoman was quoted as saying Palin had traveled to Iraq, Kuwait, Germany, and Ireland, McCain campaign spokeswoman Maria Comella acknowledged today that Ireland was only a refueling stop on a trip in July 2007 to visit Alaskan National Guard troops in Kuwait and Iraq.

Comella said today that the 2007 trip was her only foreign travel apart from visits to Canada. Comella said Palin first received a passport in 2006. The New York Times reported last week that Palin had traveled very little, and had needed to apply for a passport so she could visit the troops.

According to Alaskan officials and Alaska political analysts, Palin has demonstrated little interest in expanding the state's trade ties with neighboring Canada or Russia compared with some of her predecessors.

"So far as I know, Sarah has not been involved in international affairs whatsoever," said Victor Fischer, professor emeritus at the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Alaska Anchorage, a Democrat and former state senator. "Alaska is a large state, there's a lot going on within the state. We've had governors who have been very involved with world issues, but she's concentrated pretty much on the domestic side."

Some sort of reference would have been appreciated. A newspaper article? A TV report? Even a Right Wing, crackpot commentator's remarks. Give me something to go on.

She couldn't even name one magazine she reads.

"Any of them. All of them." What kind of an answer is that?

It's nice to review those clips. Thank God Obama won.

The point is, if she struggled to answer a question that simple, however would she cope with, say, negotiating a Middle-East peace settlement?
