Sarah Palin's new video has all the hallmarks of a campaign ad. There is the slow-motion montage set to a soaring score; shots of the candidate pumping hands and hugging fans; a flick at the race's November finish line. But Palin, the star of the spot, is not a candidate for any office — at least, not yet. And none of the female hopefuls Palin is backing this fall are anywhere to be found.
In the year since Palin left the governor's mansion, observers attempting to divine her destination have wrung every ounce of meaning from her every move. To some, the new ad, titled "Mama Grizzlies," is a sign that she may have her sights set on a White House bid. The 1 min. 50 sec. video splices together footage of Tea Party rallies and Palin's public appearances and sets the footage to uplifting music and Palin's own narration, mostly culled from a May speech. (See Sarah Palin's new video.)
The message is one of women's empowerment. "These policies coming out of D.C. right now, this fundamental transformation of America — well, a lot of women who are very concerned about their kids' futures are saying, we don't like this fundamental transformation, and we're going to do something about it," Palin says.
"I loved watching it," says Fred Davis III, the G.O.P. media consultant behind the McCain campaign ad that dubbed Barack Obama a "celebrity" and Carly Fiorina's mesmerizing "Demon Sheep" ad. "But it wasn't because it had brilliant editing or brilliant music. It's that Sarah Palin is a great communicator. The video was her." CNN's Rick Sanchez went farther, calling the performance "Reaganesque." According to Politico, the spot was shot by a single, unidentified videographer and produced in consultation with her political action committee, SarahPAC

David Frum is a complete jerk and idiot.. conservative he is NOT.
And if she had put Blacks, he would have complained that there were no transgendered, or something. He is splitting hairs. The only people who care about his opinion are his liberals friends.
She'll do!
Maybe Cheney/Palin. I want a ticket that screams. Bumper stickers that say CHENEY/PALIN SUCKA! Ads that show the ineptitude and lies of the Dems round the clock - from border wars to oil slicks to unemployment numbers to black panthers declaring open season on white babies to rahm emmanuel biting the head off a dove. I don’t give a rat’s jelly if there’s “inclusion” anywhere to be found. I want candidates and ads to make it totally clear that a vote for a dem will lead to the gas chamber, perpetual war and unemployent lines for fifty years running. If I want inclusion I’ll visit DisneyWorld during Gay Pride Week.
Sorry. But not especially...I’m just fed up.
((((PING))))
The leftists have given up on thinking their attacks on Palin matter. Now they are in a stage of denial where they are going to claim they, the geniuses, now know she will win.
Of course they delude themselves into thinking no way would America reject an “intellectual”, wholesome, All American-loving, competent manager and messiah such as Obama.
They actually think America will have a decision to make. This is going to be the biggest landslide we’ve seen in many years.
Yeah, and the obviously distressed liberal author of this piece just can't help himself at the end...
If Frum is conservative, I’m the next King of England.
Frum... a CONSERVATIVE????????? baaaaawwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaa ROFLOL
