Haley Barbour vs Sarah Palin

One of these two people running as Vice President drew a larger TV audience at the Convention speech than both Presidential candidates Obama and McCain. Never has the VP candidate done this before and never will it happen again. She can still pack houses and draw people by the tens of thousands.
Barbour? I have not studied his conservative credentials, but I know he has some pardon problems like Huckabee, and he will never match Palin in popularity.

Bruce Springstein can pack houses and draw people by the tens of thousands, what the hell does that mean?

Sarah Palin is a political novelty act purely based on her good looks. The conservative version of PDS bounces off the wall when this argument is risen but its ABSOLUTELY 100% FACT! If she looked like Helen Thomas she wouldn’t draw flies. Okay, I take that back, she might draw flies.

She’s good to rally the conservative base, but that’s about it. Whether rightly or wrongly she has the baggage of quitting on the state of Alaska around her neck for the rest of her political career. She is the one potential GOP candidate that gives Obama a chance in Nov. 2012.

I was rooting for Palin. I was hoping she was more improved and more polished at her Tea Party speech. She wasn’t.

Barbour is a good guy but He is part of the old boys network. Some forget the stint he did as RNC Chair. He did good work in Miss after the hurricane but to compare his CIC credits to Palin’s is rather funny. DO Miss. has missile silo’s as part of our first line of defense. I don’t think so. If I am not mistaken the Gov of AK has one of the highest security clearance of any Gov. There is alot in this area we do not know because Sarah does not talk about it.

I wonder if Cuba ever sent bombers to Miss. just to harass Miss. Like the Russia’s do too AK. Just a thought.
