How is she transformational other than she is a republican female?

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THE PAST FEW YEARS? Have you seen the impact she's made, not just in shaping the political landscape, but the cultural impact she's mad as well? All the "inane" statements that you Palin bashers make fun of--things like "death panels," do you know how much of an impact they had on shaping public discourse?

She's more than just someone who wants to criticize and do an overhaul of the failed Bush-era and Obama-Marx policies. Any ole Republican will say those things. And quite frankly, I don't plan on voting for Palin thinking she actually indeed will "fix" everything. No one person can do that.

Palin is transformational, not becuase she's a woman! Though that's part of it don't get me wrong...but I assure you: Meg Whitman, Condi Rice, Fiorina, Jan Brewer, or Kay Bailey Hutchison, or even as I said earlier, Bachmann or Haley, would NEVER have stirred up as much fear and reactionary responses as Palin has...There is something about Palin that is definitely harder to articulate...

Part of it may be a certain kind of charisma that all the other women just simply lack.

But it's more than that.

There's a big-mindedness and depth to Palin--something in the gut, that makes her more of a global and historical mover and shaker than your average politico. There's something about Palin, which strikes a chord with people because she touches on things that are so core and fundamental.

Maybe because she exudes a faith in God that is not your average kind of "Sunday church attendance" sort of faith, she has a sense of mission and calling that far exceeds the mere political ambitions of most normal contenders.

As I said, it's hard to explain. But what she stands for, what she says, why she scares people --> it's "visceral" not just political.

Well, well,well now that's saying it all! Great post Condi!

As we all know Palin has the “it” few can lay claim to. She is a powerhouse and unafraid of what the end results might be because she believes sincerely in what she states, and that the people need to hear it.

Would it be those of the REP. Party dare to be so bold and call a spade a spade? They are lacking greatly in that respect when considering all that the opponents are doing. If there was a time in our history where it counts to take a stand ...this is it...Palin stands!

But what she stands for, what she says, why she scares people

Palin stands for McCain's vision for America (by her own admission).

McCain says he has no problems with the progressive-Marxist "views and philosophy" of the Democratic Party.

Palin says that conservative Arizona Republicans should "send the maverick [McCain] back to the Senate."

And that's why Palin scares the **** out of me.

"Senator McCain and I agree on the big picture,
where it is that the country needs to go."

"I think the Democratic Party is a fine party, and I have
no problems with it, in their views and their philosophy."

"I support [McCain's] position on immigration."

"In the long term, if you alienate the Hispanics,
you’ll pay a heavy price. By the way,
I think the fence is least effective.
But I’ll build the G****mned fence if they want it!"

"[McCain] is part of the Tea Party movement."

"I have to tell you, [Obama] is a decent person, a person that you
do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States."
