Much as I like Palin, when joined by Hewitt and Praeger, her repetitive mantras of common sense solutions and hard working people seem lacking in depth of thought. I’m not saying she can’t develop a program that goes well beyond the platitudes, I just don’t think she has done so.Still she greatly fills a role, much as Sam Adams did in arousing the cause of liberty while his cousin John and men like Jefferson coped with the realities of implementing those ideas.
For Hewitt to say what he said was quite a turn around, as he has hinted before that she may not have the full ability to lead. Saying what he did about her at the end was a very powerful endorsement of her abilities, and a very sincere one.
Sorry, you're being snookered by the old left wing, paulbot, Romney talking points.
That being said, I hope she gets a speech coach to help her not elevate her voice so high when she gets into her points.
I guess your comment means you saw the speech and the panel Q&A. Hugh Hewitt sure seemed impressed by the governor, all the more meaningful considering he has been extremely lukewarm towards Palin.
During the discussion Hewitt commented directly about an aspect of Sarah's speech, U.S. policy towards Iran:
"If you listened closely to Governor Palin's speech, there was a very comprehensive critique, very sophisticated, very detailed, of the path we are on and why it will not deter this most dangerous of regimes."In his closing remarks, Hewitt was even more complimentary when he was talking about Gov. Palin and attributes of "transformative political leaders". Check it out.
Reagan got accused repeatedly of being "shallow", even within his own party. Sarah's doing fine.
The depth of thought has come in when Sarah writes opinion pieces, where she delves into particular subjects.
