I know exactly what you mean. I remember a conversation I had with a friend some years ago. We were discussing Joan of Arc, and my friend said that she must have been an extraordinary woman for men to decide to follow her in battle. Imagine a 17 year old girl inspiring thousands of men to risk their lives and charge into battle behind her banner. That, my fried said, is true leadership.
Perhaps it's not for nothing that the Anchorage Daily News dubbed Sarah Palin "Alaska's Joan of Arc".
BTW, I just heard Palin's third stump speech for Saxby. She's amazing. She totally freelances off the text with each of her speeches. She knows how to work a crowd and deliver a stump speech better than any politician I've ever seen.

I noticed that as well. She was also speaking much more quickly and freely. It really seems like she “free” of the McCain closet and is really being herself now.
So, I thought the libs and media said she couldn’t speak without a teleprompter? I bet she could do almost any speech without one. That is where her journalism experience really helps her.
Barack Obama supporter Gregory Broome was surprised by the governor's speech.Governor Palin has star power"I think she is wonderful speaker it was invigorating to watch her speak, to see what she had to say, she talked about some core issues and I agreed with her, that was nice," said Broome.
It's just one anecdote but I think Sarah needs to get in front of as many live audiences as she can in the next couple of years. Problem is how to do that. She's really getting sniped at by Alaska Democrats and the MSM for this political trip. Other politicians make trips and speeches all the time without this kind of heat (Barry...cough, cough), but Sarah takes the heat. She's going to have to figure out how to deal with this.
