“Palin radiates a sense of grievance that is antithetical to the Reagan style and spirit. ...
I have never gotten a sense of grievance radiating from Sarah Palin, in fact quite the opposite.
Here is another Peter Wehner quote in another CSM article:
"Now that the Republicans look set to regain a modicum of power, it’s their supporters’ turn to demonstrate prudence, warns Peter Wehner, a political strategist in the second Bush White House.
“In the aftermath of the midterm elections, the conservative movement should keep pressure on members of Congress to propose a governing blueprint that is equal to this moment – one that limits government and champions a growth agenda,” Mr. Wehner writes on his Commentary magazine blog. “At the same time, conservatives need to show some measure of maturity, sobriety, and patience. They cannot demand that everything be done all at once.” [end quote]
Republicans' post-Election 2010 challenge: managing expectations
Yeah, that quote caught my attention too. Like Sarah invented the media jihad against her that started as soon as she was named as McCain’s running mate. They spent more time looking for dirt in three days than they did on Obama in three years. When they couldn’t find anyting, they went after her family. Now, if she fires back, she is radiating “a sense of grievance”. If she didn’t they would complain that she isn’t tough enough. Sarah handles it just right, she fires back, refuses to allow leftie media to do edited interview hit peices like those Gibson and Couric famously did, but keeps a smile on her face and lets her enthusiasm for Alaska, America, and life in general shine through.
If you want to see a politican with a “sense of grievance”, just look at any Democrat.
