— Obama won mostly due to the woman’s vote. A female presidential candidate would be extremely difficult to defeat.—
If that were the case, we’d be complaing about President (Hillary Rodham) Clinton right now. As for Palin, she says a lot of good things, but, in my humble opinion, she lacks the hard to define “gravitas” that would enable her to be propelled into the FDR/Reagan political apex.
In this day and age, gravitas is a pure media construct. Obama was perhaps the least substantive presidential candidate in American history.
