She sounds good here, and I like the high approval rating. I’m not entirely sure I trust Fred Barnes ‘inside the beltway’ opinion though.
Future woman president???
She is smart, unafraid to say she is pro-life, and inti-gay marriage. She has given this state a break from the good-old boys club with clear honest open government and conservativism. I know several democrats that grudgingly say she is doing a good job. Have no fear.
Fred Barnes is horrible on immigration. Just thought I’d point that out.
But anyway, this is a pretty good article, though Barnes is wrong to say that Palin’s victory was the lone bright spot for Republicans last year. At least as impressive (and probably more so) was the survival of Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty. The landslide victory of the Democrat for the open Senate seat in Minnesota made Pawlenty’s victory even more surprising and remarkable.
So it seems there may be two rising stars to emerge out of 2006. Palin would probably make a good Senator some day, and maybe even a Presidential or VP candidate. Pawlenty should be considered for the VP slot next year if there is any chance he can deliver his battleground state.
