A fair catch.

But an overall very good piece where she goes directly after Obama with a point that all other supposed Republican ‘leaders’ have let drop. She is attacking by offering an alternative solution. No need to focus on one (yes, careless) sop to moderates when she’s doing the heavy lifting and firing that no one else on our team is doing.

Not true. For example, Jim DeMint, Mitt Romney, and Bob Corker, for three, have continually pressed on the topic.

You may or may not agree with one or all of them, but to say they have "let it drop" is false.

The truth is that this piece offers nothing new to the debate. She's not doing much heavy lifting -- the people whose studies she quotes did that for her.

She also didn't do the really heavy lifting of actually passing the Tort Reform legislation she cites with approval -- that happened before she was ever in a position to influence it.

Again, it's nice that she's on-board, but it's disingenuous to suggest that she's had any actual influence on the matter.

Which brings us back to the flaccid thinking behind that throw-away line I cited. That's actually the most important part of the entire artice, precisely because it's the sort of line that gets big-time politicians in trouble. Ms. Palin needs to learn to think more carefully about such things, because it will (and many times already has) get her in trouble.

What it tells us is that she needs a few years of seasoning before she should have the temerity to offer herself up for higher office or party leadership.
