She needs to come up with new things to say. Her speeches so far have been good, but it’s already getting stale. People will lose interest if she acts like a standard politician and keeps giving the same speech.

I used to think the same thing about Hannity on his radio show. It was annoying. He would just pound the same subjects hour after hour, day after day. Then he explained himself the other day. He does it because he knows most people don't listen to him every minute of every broadcast. They tune in periodically. Some are tuning in for the first time, etc. etc. Same thing with these speeches. Political junkies who love Sarah Palin are tuning in to every speech. But most people don't do that. Many are hearing it for the first time and many are only now just getting interested. The repetition has a purpose.

Whoo Hooo! Nice work!

I understand what you are saying, but Hannity just has his program and his shows on FNC. Anything Governor Palin says is going to get played over and over again, talked about, and analyzed by both Friendlies and the DemoCharlies. They’ve already torn apart and dissembled most of what she says so far...the more new stuff she says, the more and longer the spotlight will stay on her, and as long as she can defend what she says, because they are her true opinions and stances, and not just pablum speech writers give her, all the better, because they’ll be genuine, and the enemedia won’t be able to catch her flat footed....Besides...*this* dicerningn mind wants to know...not just get the image, or watch the MSM jackals tear her apart.

Look, if she voices her opinion on the quality of the fresh food she sees in the grocery store, the alphabet networks and the Cable sludge, are *all* going to air it and analyze it for hidden meanings like if she is saying someting for or against GM crops, against pesticides, what kinds of veggies her family doesnt like...They’ll *all* be all over it, like white on rice. Same thing goes for the kind of stores she buys her clothes at. Her opinion on midnight basketball. Does she know what all the forks at formal dinner place setting are for? What does she think about wearing a headscarf on state visits?
Does she plan on a lot of foriegn travel? What countries does she she think it is a priority to visit?..and on and on.. People could forget what Obamas middle name is.

A possible trademark emerging? Red shoes and Palin Perfection lipstick. Love it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the maker of the brand she wears does just that!
