People Like Palin
Charleston City Paper ^ | 2009-07-28 | Jack Hunter aka Southern Avenger

I’ve never been a big fan of Sarah Palin not because I ever thought she was exceptionally bad but because she never struck me as exceptional, period. By 2008, George W. Bush’s Republican Party had wrecked the Right and that Palin became famous by spending four months parroting the same, discredited agenda for John McCain didn’t exactly make her a credible conservative in my eyes, much less a new champion for the Right. Yet, I understood why grassroots conservatives’ desire for such a hero would lead them to Palin, whose beauty and backwoods charm, made her the perfect symbol for so many frustrated, middle-class Americans to rally around.

Once again, skeptics of Palin are looking at the past, rather than towards the future. The fact that she was McCain's running mate and had to tow the line during the campaign is irrelevant. She's her own person now, and she'll be a much better advocate of conservatism than she was before.

Her having been McCain's running mate doesn't diminish her in the least. Being selected to run for VP is an honor. Who would decline such an offer? Jack Hunter needs to realize that Palin is the only Republican who is outspoken against the Left.
