Hey, Vet. None of the articles we see about Palin pay much if any attention to her Very Strong positions on the issues—which is what matters in the end. It’s all “Palin effect” or “Palin mystique” or “not a human being” or her wardrobe or who moved in next door, or her daughter...

Almost nothing about her series of incisive Facebook statements and her unrelenting willingness to dissect Obama/Pelosi/Reid’s leftie positions. The substance of her speeches? Forget it. They dwell endlessly on the notes she wrote in the palm of her hand.

She is the defacto leader of the conservative movement once led by Reagan—that’s who and what she is. As this thing evolves, we need to get the substance out there front and center. The dollars you raise will go a long way to getting her elected, but keeping the strong conservative stands she takes in the spotlight will be of increasing significance.

We all need to sharpen our pens as we get closer to 2012.
