“Charles always hits the nail squarely on the head!”
ALMOST always. I agree with him 98% of the time.

Yes, thank you, Charles.
The difference between Palin and Obama’s charisma is that, while of course it has a personal aspect, Palin’s is more like Ronald Reagan’s: rooted, as Charles notes, in concrete political ideas.
The conservative base, unlike the moonbat base, is not one that is energized solely by personal charisma or celebrity. What hooked the conservative base was that it was immediately evident that the source of Palin’s charisma was her committment-—her actual living out-—of some of conservative’s treasured ideals.
That’s why she’ll last in politics and Obambi won’t.
Obambi will become a rich man, writing books, serving on boards, giving speeches. But his political career, for all intents and purposes, is over.
