The only individual who might be as natural a politician as President Bill Clinton is Governor Sarah Palin. What other “failed” vice presidential candidate ever came back and made themselves into the powerhouse that she’s become?

Agreed, but Sarah is in a rarefied league of politician that Bubba could never hope to attain.

He's merely shrewd, where Sarah is wise and instinctive. He's a bully, where she's a real fighter who can rip your guts out, if need be. He's a poser who feigns affection for others, while Sarah exhibits an honest love and admiration for others. He governed through manipulation and strong arm tactics, while Sarah has governed through wise and courageous decision-making, which gained her solid support across the boards.

Sarah Palin is in the natural statesman class, which is a level of leadership we rarely see in US (or even world) politics. These are the sorts of people who have statues raised raised in their honor, and are revered by succeeding generations, once they're gone.

I've said it before...she's a throw-back to the type of politician our country was blessed with in abundance, in its early decades. She has more in common with those giants of our history, than she does with political gamesmen like Bill Clinton.

Well put. Sarah is already as popular as Davey Crockett. She will be remembered as a quintessential American leader. Expect her bust to be added to Mt. McKinley.
