Okay...as a redneck from the oil patch and cotton fields back home....what the Hell is wrong with Sarah?
Lots of things. Here are just a few.
1) She lacks knowledge of just about every national policy issue, save enegery, and betrays a disturbing lack of curiosity about political philosophy.
2) She can't speak intelligently about economic policy. She appears to know even less about economics than McCain.
3) She couldn't speak intelligently about the financial crisis, beyond parroting platitudes about "greed and corruption on Wall Street," which...
4)Betrays a perverse tendency to succumb to economic populism, like Huckabee.
5) Favors amnesty for illegals.
6) Beyond a few small, token purely symbolic spending cuts, she hasn't governed as a fiscal conservative.
Beyond her being pro-life and pro-gun, there is very little to like about her.
Hopefully Huckabee will run in 2012, in which case he'll split the value voter vote with Palin, leaving an opening for someone who can speak intelligently about economics and who, instead of falling for populist snake oil, knows how to sell sound, market-based economic solutions to the middle.
