1. She can deliver natural and biting satire in a funny way: parfum of The Simpsons, pararphrasing her speech here: ‘When they haul the styrofoam pillars off Obama’s stage…. what is left that is real?’
2. She hired a writer who is an original rather than a ’speech-writery’ one… one who apparently enhances how/who she is, rather than trying to make her say lofty things. That’s not her style. (The speech writers of this election cycle, from ALL sides, often sound like the writers tacked together aphorisms from quote books they thought were deep, just changing the words around a bit.)
3. She has a huge talent for mimicking others, for observation of human traits, for memorization, as well as the knack for delivery that appears sincere; her gestures are absolutely cohesive.
4. She is fiercely feminine.
5. She is ace smart
6. She is an outsider who tonight, consistently says disarming things ‘insiders’ would never say, hardly even think to say.
7. She has a good voice, not a whiney one. It’s slightly, as I said, to the satiric side, but also warm, clear, articulate.
8. She is bold and common-sensical regarding her own milieu, political and familial.
9. She is completely comfortable, and gives the appearance of realness, as opposed to some of the thick personas slabbed on by some Washingtonians.
10. She is not afraid, not self effacing, not woman-only identified. She is a protectoress, a woman who guards the perimeters.
Later, I’ll offer some thoughts on the potential danger areas of some of her strongest traits.
For now, her standards and values and beliefs will no doubt be supported and quarreled with, slammed around, uplifted, condemned.
But, her innate gifts that she has honed and turned toward leadership, toward being a running mate now, her talents will continue to make her a formidable opponent. For anyone.
It would be an error to think she is Senator Biden’s opponent. She isn’t.
She is Senator Obama’s opponent.
Ol' Joe better hope the only red on his neck will be LIPSTICK when the HM/PB gets through with him!!
She can probably chase one down and turn it into a lapdog!
Sarah Palin fishes for salmon by convincing them it’s in their interest to jump into the boat.
Didn't we all!
Or before...
If SHE were cast as the lead, instead of Costner, the movie would have been...
Dancing ON Wolves!
This came up in the gym this morning when a friend of ours noted that it reminded him of the first time he heard Ronald Reagan on the car radio. He had to pull over and listen to the remainder of Reagan's speech. It was that kind of moment.
I think he nailed it.
“...for such a time as this.”
Book of Esther, Old Testament, Bible
Ever since Friday, I’ve felt God’s hand in this.
He has sent forth His warrior for the Light,
and we see the minions of Satan recognize her as such and viciously attack.
John 3:20
It’s a confidence that comes from being sure of who you are.
Reagan and Palin, neither one, needed to put on an inauthentic front,
like most politicians, left and right.
11. She’s directly over the target, taking flak, smiling and staying
directly on course.
I suspect that Gov. Palin has little or no familiarity with the term
“flinching”.
Lol! Alas, I don’t quite look like Xena.....but I do have that same outfit. Looks great paired with my coonskin cap. Everyone at the grocery store says so anyway. :P
