May the trend continue!
Good advice from VDH.
Great comments by Victor Davis Hanson at the link.
Hanson has superior insight with historic perspective and the ability to express himself very clearly so it is a treat to read his take on Sarah. Not surprised he’s a fan.

Understatement of the month. LOL.
Bump for later Friday reading!
Being away from Washington/NYC is not a bad thing.
Being based thousand of miles from the lower 49 used to be an issue, until she resigned.
Now that she is free to do what she likes, she can be in the lower 49 and campiagn for Republican congressional candidates for next year's congressional elections, which could send her poll ratings even higher.
” She is the mother of 5 and has little money, or powerful friends.”
Thanks to her book, she is now richer than 0bozo was back oin 2007, before he started his campaign.
As for powerful friends, the last thing she needs is a super evil “powerful friend” like George Soros. She has the masses on her side.
“The East-Coast Right dislikes her as much as the liberal elite.”
That's a plus in my book.
The normal average American man in the street has no time for the East-Coast elites, right or left.
” With young children, the Levi Johnston mess, the resignation from the governorship, the constant traveling to earn an income for her large dependencies, she is burning the candle at both ends.”
She has more energy, and stamina than any national politician I have seen in a long time.
She wrote her book in record time, and still managed to travel across the country for weeks promoting her book and signing hundreds of books per day.
” So I admire her pluck, but again worry that her present frenzied pace is unsustainable.”
She had a “frenzied pace was when she was doing her book tour for 4 weeks, and the 3 months before that when she worked flat out to write her book. After her vacation in Hawaii, she will should have a much less taxing schedule, until he 2010 election campaigns get into full mode.
Lets see, Obama called Sarah and ask her if she wanted a job as “COMMON SENSE” czar!
I’m very glad VDH admires Palin, as I admire him. He always has enormous insight, and I agree with all he said here.
*ping*
As thorough an evaluation as I've seen.
Palin should try to be a Fox News Contributor. This way, Palin could talk about the issues on all the Fox News shows like Greta, Hannity, O’Reilly, and Fox & Friends in the same manner as Newt, Huckabee, and John Bolton.
The Huckabee Report, radio commentary, done by the Huckster is heard on many radio stations across America. In my area, the Huckabee report is run right after Rush Limbaugh.
Palin needs to do something similiar. She needs face time in the media, not hide out in Facebook.
Hanson hit the nail with this one.
