I think the dems have decided to replace their hatred of GW with Sarah.

Too bad for them,she will kick their arse at every turn,they will wind up black and blue and excoriated by us every time they try it.

Sarah is completely different from GW. The only other cheek she will be turning is a bleeding or near dead DBM/rat or Dem who tried unsuccessfully to go up against her and got beat up bad too see if they want some more!!

One of the things that has bothered me about both Bush administrations is their decision not to fight back when attacked. I think it's a core family belief. Sarah Palin most definitely does not share that philosophy.

She will make a great Vice President and an even greater President in either 2012 or 2016. The trick, if she is in office in Washington for as much as the next 16 years, is to make sure she doesn't get captured by the town. It'll be up to us to help her keep her perspective.

I think it is the colin powell desk jockey backstabber school of thought.

They beltway insiders want to be frieds to everyone without any regard for truth or even HONEST compromise.

I hope we have a MASSIVE purge in the state department and the DOJ.

Too many comfortable government employees.

More like she will capture the town "they" better look out.

True.

I agree with you both.

Sarah Palin needs to expand on her thinking and concentrate on how to present herself using the available media, if McCain loses. She also needs to distance herself from what we seem to call the “neocons.” If she could align herself with people such as Art Laffer and the Chicago School for economics, people like Daniel Pipes for Mid East policy information, Patreas and others for military and foreign policy as to what works and what doesn’t, she’ll be fine. She will also continue to be a sitting state governor, but with expanded influence as she will be on all the talk shows from now on.

Sarah Palin represents conservativism and that alone is enough to make Democrats despise here and attack anything she says or does in the future.

And, should McCain win next Tuesday, Sarah Palin will be a sitting VP in four or eight years, with all the experience that office brings to bear in an election.

Sarah Palin really IS a natural, political star, and I hope--as you do--that she successfully avoids the plastic Washington DC social scene for the 12 years.
