Sarah Palin allowed herself to be defined by the media, because she wasn’t skilled enough to define herself.

What a complete load of horse manure.

The MSM hasn't defined Palin to anyone except the drooling Obot zombies, who've been pre-programmed from childhood to hate any Republican who would dare to challenge any Democrat presidential candidate - and most especially their new messiah.

And, in case you hadn't noticed, Sarah Palin has penned two books since the end of the 2008 campaign, and has stayed up front and center in the public eye, with appearances on Fox, public speaking engagements, editorials, tweets, her Facebook page, and LOTS of networking and endorsements in the 2010 midterm elections.

Don't tell me that she's not skilled enough to define herself.

Palin's popularity hasn't suffered one whit amongst center-right Americans who make up the ranks of the Tea Party. There isn't a national political figure on this side of the aisle who is more popular and admired than she is.

I like Sarah. I would be part of the tea party, if I were American. However, and I certainly can be wrong, but I do not believe that she has enough support from Americans in general to become president at this point.

In politics, you need to build a foundation. If you move too fast, you generally fail. I think trying to become president or VP was too fast 3 years ago and it’s still too fast. That is my position. I would be far more comfortable with her running for president if she had a congressional record to run on.

And she has learned much. I’m not discounting her, I’m just seeing it from the perspective of how I think Americans view her overall.
