The word "specifically" seems to be Sarah Palin's kryptonite.
The only reasonable explanation I can come up with from a political tactic standpoint is that they told her to play up the "reporters are out to get me" angle and so instead of answering questions she turns them into the "Just cause I'm from Alaska doesn't mean I can't read good" type responses. It seems to be working too, as her supporters instead of realizing she's an idiot, complain that the reporters are being "too gosh darn mean".
It's painful to watch her answer a question though. She starts out kind of strong, not really saying anything, but at least confident in her answer, but then she rambles on and on and then looks like she loses her train of thought and doesn't know how to end so that by the end I have no idea what she's saying.
