an Obama, with eloquence and brains.

The only thing I disagreed with in the whole article.

The Palin Express is building up steam! Run, Sarah, RUN!!! :-)

0 is eloquent to the extent that he reads reasonably well from a teleprompter. Other than that, he’s a sock puppet.

This is simply a warning by leftard media fossil Broder for all of his compatriots in the left/media hive to go after Palin even more relentlessly to remove her as a threat to their love object in the White House

I just cannot see Palin getting nearly enough of the black and latino vote to win. And I question whether she could have won an election as Governor in any state but Alaska, given their demographics.

Reagan was elected Governor of California twice, a very diverse state, so obviously that showed he could connect with enough people who didn’t fit the tradition Republican supporter. I just can’t see Sarah appealing outside of that demographic at all. Fair or unfair that’s just how I see it.

Even President Bush appealed to enough people outside of the traditional Republican base to get elected, especially amongst socially conservative latinos and blacks. But I’ve heard many of those very same latinos express their intense dislike of Palin.

And I don’t see Palin as being particularly good at reaching out to those people. She does fine within her own element, but it’s going to take a lot more than that for her to even come close to winning the nomination, much less POTUS.

Sarah Palin displays her pitch-perfect populism

And David Broder displays his pitch-perfect, tin-earred, Beltway elitism.

or an Obama, with eloquence and brains.

And he's still drinking gallons and gallon of that over-sweetened Kool Aid on a daily basis.

Sarah Palin especially excelled in the Wallace interview.

She "connects" when placed in a question and answer format because, unlike Obama and other liberals, she actually can answer a question in a definitive way. No cryptic wording, no meandering rhetorically to a non-answer, no obscuring her ideology, no pretzel logic-she answers concisely, succinctly and completely any question put to her.

This seperates her from the (liberal) pack, and comes across as real and genuine-because it is. This quality makes her perfect at a time when Americans are feeling a bit duped by "slick" politicians who have to constantly obscure who they really are.

I think she's the next President.

I'm growing weary of the term "populism" or "populist".
If I didn't know any better, I would swear it a run up to get rid of the Electoral College (Like we haven't heard it before "...yeah but, he WON the POPULAR vote!"). Doing so is a Democrats wet dream.

The media refuses to use the word CONSERVATIVE unless it is used as a perjorative.

We need to put a little pressure on the news outlets to refer to Sarah as a "common-sense Conservative" which, I believe, is how she refers to herself.

The media needs to learn that CONSERVATIVE is not a four-letter word. Marx, on the other hand, is definitely a four-letter word. (So is Karl.)

Gee, for an hour there, listening to her on Saturday night at the Tea Party COnvention, I forgot she was Alaskan. /s

She’s President No. 45, and she is 46 years old today.

She will be celebrating her 49th birthday in the White House.

Can’t wait.

I have been engaging a freeper in another thread who is of the opinion that Sarah Palin is a populist who has “done damage to her intellectual reputation” by being populist.

In particular, the user was concerned with the way she came across to independents on the “interview programs”

I don’t see why using populist rhetoric is inherently bad. By all accounts, she backs up her rhetoric by taking concrete stands on most subjects and not falling into rhetoric that must be parsed out.

I have watched most interviews she has done (including Couric, Gibson and Walters, though why she would even agree to those of her own free will, I don’t know) and I think she comes across fine.

If anyone wants to see how Sarah Palin comes across when the dumbass interviewer isn’t openly hostile, see a part of her 45 minute interview here at http://www.howobamagotelected.com/sarah-palin-unplugged-on-the-media.asp

There is a difference between being non-hostile and throwing softballs.

I stopped reading after the "eloquence and brains" part.

Was there really anything worth reading after that?

I think it’s disingenuous to say that Obama doesn’t have brains and eloquence. That combined with his horrible policies and opinions are what makes him so dangerous. If he was stupid, unpersuasive, and and ineffective at communicating his ideas, this country wouldn’t have so much to worry about. To underestimate your adversary is a mistake imo.

I think Sarah is the only chance we have to beat him in 2012.

"Eloquent" is Broder's description.

On another thread today, a poster describes it as "hollow rhetoric"--a more apt description?
