I think Palin was ham-strung early on by too many McCain operatives unwilling to let Sarah be Sarah...what they didn’t realize is that even though Sarah may not be the world’s greatest orator, and occasionally mangles a sentence, to many people this is precisely what is endearing about her. She’s the daughter of a school teacher and a secretary, raised with middle class values, and when I see her and listen to her speak, her accent, mannerisms and the “doggone’s” bring a smile to my face - she reminds me of relatives and people I know who grew up in the mid-west. People who still believe in American exceptionalism and that America is a ‘shining city on a hill,’ as so eloquently described by the great Renaldus Magnus. These are the folks who will help McCain win the election, and I hope the McCain folks realize this...Sarah needs to continue to be herself, deliver straight talk to the American people, and I think as election day draws near, more and more independents will reject Obama’s radical left-wing agenda in favor of McCain/Palin’s message of reform and smaller, less-intrusive government.
When folks open their cans of whupass, the can usually goes “psscht” or “whooooopassssss”.
McCain’s goes “sssssarahhhh”.
“The political landscape here (in Alaska) is littered with people who have underestimated Sarah Palin.”
Let’s hope she’s given the chance to do the same to Washington, D.C. :)
Next speech should say “I was criicised for brining up Senator Obama’s relationship with a terrorist”. “I thought I was kind, because I didn’t bring up his relationships with crooks like Tony Rezko, his poker buddy recently raided by the FBI, his race baiting, America hating Pastor of 20 years, his friendship with a racist Priest, his funding of projects that never get finished because the money disappears.” “Shall I go on”?
As anyone knows who has read my comments, I think Sarah Palin is the last best hope for the Republican Party. At the Washington political organization where I am communications director, we need a dynamic young person to work in media outreach. And we need massive grassroots lists to email to. So, if any of my fellow Freepers can give me an assist, I would deeply appreciate it!
Sarah will be in Ft Myers this afternoon. Unfortunately I’ll miss her, I’m in California visiting. My old Army buddies are there on the floor volunteering with the set up. I would have been there with them had I not been committed here. It will be interesting to see if many of the students from FGCU attend. (One of them is mine.)
