Mrs. Palin has grasped that for every critic of American power there are thousands who comprehend that it is a force for freedom and democracy. Say what one will about her, but she is staking out ground that almost no Democrat and far too few Republicans have staked out. It’s the mark of a leader, and it’s hard not to think that it will prove promising ground to hold when we get closer to the election in 2012.
I’ve been flying my “Sarah 2012” bumper stickers on my cars in the liberal cesspool of Charlotte, NC since Jeff Head made them available shortly after the last election. You should see the idiots beating their steering wheels in rage behind me at the lights. Of course the best is the old ladies that give the thumbs up as they go by.
