Regardless of what Palin does next, Malek will be watching.

"She has that Ronald Reagan quality," he said of the Alaska governor. "She has that magic."

You got that right! I’m a loyalist - time to do battle in the lower 48; can’t wait to join her ranks! :)

“She has that Ronald Reagan quality,” he said of the Alaska governor. “She has that magic.”
:::::::
You know, it really is not magic. It is about HONESTY, PATRIOTISM, PRO-REPUBLIC, PRO-MILITARY, PRO-NATIONAL DEFENSE, PRO-AMERICA, PRO-CONSTITUTION, ANTI-COMMUNIST, PRO-LAW, COUNTRY-FIRST, AND NOT NEEDING TO LIE TO FURTHER A CORRUPT, POWER-GRABBING AGENDA. Me, I call that POLITICAL CONSERVATISM, not magic.

I also note from news reports that on the morning of her announcement, Palin called Malek. She didn't call McCain.

It's clear why Sarah and Malek are close....loyalty is something they both take seriously.

Good read...thanks.

I almost wish she wasn’t so gorgeous. There are bound to be people that’ll refuse to take her seriously because of her physical beauty and will ignore her wonderful qualities of leadership and morality and selflessness.

My wife is quick to believe anything she hears that’s critical of Governor Palin and will try to debate me about how she’s “unqualified” for any higher office. It’s obvious jealousy and is not a good trait to have.

But I’ll keep on working to bring her around to a pro-Palin point of view. Barring that, my next wife will be pro-Palin for sure. (hee hee)

“I almost wish she wasn’t so gorgeous. There are bound to be people that’ll refuse to take her seriously because of her physical beauty and will ignore her wonderful qualities of leadership and morality and selflessness.”

Even before I finish this, I know there will be jokes and that it may sound funny, but I really don’t think that she is so much gorgeous as she is what some girls call some mature men - she is the female “total package” meaning that yes, she is nice looking, but also has a way about her that makes men want to be with her (and not just sensually) and strong women to be like her...if they are being honest, I think that is what a lot of men and women will say. Libs do not relate because the women are not strong and the men want mothers, not partners.

And she also has the certitude and force of her convictions...she is someone who will definitely walk the walk, as she has proven so many times. The left just loathes her for it, because it is a hard way to live and she does it with such grace. They can not stand to be reminded that we are not children and that we can and should provide for ourselves, our families and our community through individualism. Good grief, how they hate her.

This will make Bush Derangement Syndrome look pale by comparison...

Most like her for her tom-boyishness (my hubby)as you can see in this video, especially at about 1:30, the way she shakes hands. But of course even men who are attracted to her for whatever reason, will not vote for her if during the primaries they believe she can not do the job.
