I am hoping she’ll do a better job of putting the ideas from her Facebook posts into her onscreen appearances on FNC. Condensed, of course.
Because I find her Facebook posts just brilliant. Timely, clever, smart...and directly to the point!
But as I say, I’m a fan. I imagine these skills will come soon. She’s only been an official analyst for a couple weeks.
And she’s a quick study!
Whatever she is doing, she is doing it well. I heard her on Greta and was impressed that she boiled the SOTU speech down to one word.
Lecture. It was a lecture.
She then went on to skewer Obama, yes in phrases, but it was highly effective, far better, more concise, deeper, and more interesting than the three other supposedly "brilliant" commentators she had on.
She's doing really well, and like the author of the article said, she's the one who is taking the front and center role of defining the debate and taking Obama down.
The time will come for her to get into policy discussions, she's done it before and will likely do it again. If she is running, she is positioning herself very well. If not, she'll be one of the primary voices for conservatism for a long long time.
Whichever road she chooses, she's going to be fine.
She did give two specifics in the interview
PALIN: I don’t know anybody who is not in favor of some kind of health care reform so that we can start getting our hands around the growing costs of health care. I think everybody wants to see that. But we want common sense solutions, Greta. We do want that ****tort reform...*****
VAN SUSTEREN: Like what?
PALIN: At least put it — at least put it on the table to discuss.**** And we do want those lines that are barriers between states to not allow somebody from one state to be able to competitively get out there and look for a better deal on insurance in another state — why not have those on the table for discussion?******
And this is my point is that Republicans have addressed these. They have put these forward. And yet they’re not even discussed, not in those backroom deals, not in those closed door sessions that the Democrats and the lobbyists are engaged in. That’s quite discouraging for the American public, who is asking for these common sense, these market-oriented, patient-driven and patient-centered solutions to be discussed.
