...The reason why Palin appeals so deeply to so many "middle Americans" in the "flyover country" is of course the same reason she is so profoundly detested by the pointy-heads of the coastal elites. In words, in deeds, and in electrical resonance, she expresses the life-wish of the former, and exposes the death-wish of the latter. And at the moment when the American electorate had resolved upon the Obama adventure, she presented herself as the iconic anti-Obama.

To say the American people are currently divided is to deliver oneself of a droll understatement. The "tea parties" and other populist manifestations, growing in size and force, suggest to me that President Obama's life will not be easy.

"But these include the very best quality: a real, visceral identification, amounting to love, for the people who actually do America's work, take America's risks, raise America's children, and believe in God. These people are held in contempt by the progressive elites -- they are tax fodder -"

Something Democrats know, but can deal with. So too, so far GOP/RNC Bush/Romney/McCain know and have delt with too.

Government is the biggest business in the country and big business, RINOs working in/out/with/for big business don't want anything but symbolic change.

Palin's enemies. Democrats. The GOP/RNC. RINO's. Big debt finance. Big/medium business. Lots of 'other women'. 99% of the MSM.

Sarah is not a phony.

She doesnt plow under the grass at the White House and go out and play in the dirt with a few Ghetto kids to get publicity.

She goes fishing and hunting with her husband because she enjoys it.

Michelle is as phony and Obama’s COLB.

Obama got elected by masquerading as a Negro, when in reality he was raised white.
