LOL. That is funny! Don’t get me wrong. I like Sarah. I loved her speech at the convention but for me, she does not come across as quite smart enough, quick enough somehow to be entrusted as the leader of the free world (not that Obama should be trusted with that job either).

Sometimes when she’s asked a question, she gets that “deer in the headlights” look. It’s what the guys and gals back in the 50’s used to call “The Pause That Refreshes” jokingly after the old Pepsi ads.

Well, you could always run. :-)

A dose of reality. Stop looking for a Hollywood production. Doesn’t exist. Didn’t exist with Reagan an actual former actor, whom some people might be surprised to know actually sweated, did look old at time’s, and did stumble with his words here and there.

Obama is the closest a politician has come from central casting because, well, he is a Hollywood and media created figure. And yet he gets a deer in the head lights look, stumbles over his words even with a teleprompter, and can’t deliver a line on cue apparently interrupting the speaker tonight.

What I will never get is why conservatives spend so much time looking for a mythical figure with never a hair out of place and less concentration on someone who is close to perfect on issues. It annoyed the hell out of me people went for Romney because of the way he looked and spoke over others who were better on the issues and in the end we ended up with a loser as the candidate.

Palin, Sanford, and Jindal are just fine. Strongest candidates in years on our aisle. All have things they can work on, what of it. They’ve got three years to do so. They all strike me as intelligent and capable of doing so if inclined.
