I understand your reasoning. I’ve heard it before. The same things were said of a bumpkin named Ronald Reagan.
Are you really comparing Sarah Palin to Ronald Reagan? Ever heard Ronald Reagan speak off the record, the man was brilliant and not only “Got it”, which seems to be the low bar some of you set for Sarah, but also had a vision and gameplan for forwarding his agenda. The man was Joe Montana and Sarah is Dante Culpepper, not even in the same league. I hate Weiner but he is right, we somehow nominate her and it’s a big “L”. She has sky high negatives and despite the 30% of America who are hardcore Tea Partiers, not much appeal to the folks we need to really keep on board. Seeing Sarah for a while now she with that flat delivery couldn’t inspire anyone. She was a very competant governor of a state,a great Mother and says “Aw shucks” with such conviction. To turn people away from their apparent march towards statism we need a Washington not a Grover Cleveland. No dandies who look good and say the right things in speeches.
