In a dated Clint Eastwood movie, "Two Mules for Sister Sarah", the female lead played a nun who was protected and escorted across Mexico during the revolution.

Just a little nitpick here: in "Two Mules for Sister Sarah", Shirley Maclaine played a whore pretending to be a nun so the gunslinger would protect her. That takes the analogy to a new level. While that analogy doesn't apply to Palin, it does apply to many of our politicians.

Actually, you are right. But it's been 30 plus years since I saw the movie, and my memory slid a bit. Still, the metaphor holds.

Rather than answering the Democrats by creating an attack-puke like Carville, I like the idea instead of a strong woman bringing home "Rat Patrol" stinging attacks that rock the Democrats back on the defensive.

As successfully as she has done that, a 2012 Republican President would be a fool not to talk her into accepting some highly media-visible position within his administration.

For 8 years she could continually drive the liberals to appoplexy, so constantly enraged that they would be rendered nearly impotent. And all the while, if positioned wisely, she could act as a first responder to media drive-bys, with the help of a research staff of fast, clever assistants.

Think then of 8 solid years of such seasoning, and imagine her as a candidate then. We would own this country for decades!!

Let us use our assets, gentlemen, and play to their greatest strengths.
