"Just give us a straight-talking, America(as it was founded)-loving, truly CONSERVATIVE, articulate candidate who will tell it like the vast majority of us agree that it IS."

We need someone who can squash Obummer in a debate and think on his/her feet when he starts throwing his sophistry around.

Sorry, but Sarah ain't that person.

No, actually, I don't think that's what we need. Remember, to the liberal mind, if you embrace the correct ideas, you're intelligent. If you don't, it does not matter how well you speak. And I don't see anyone beating Obama at his own game: talk is all he knows HOW to do. I actually think she'll do better almost as an anti-intellectual. We need someone who appeals on a gut level, someone who, after one of Obama's 10 minute answers, can say something as bluntly and simply as Ross Perot did. If he hadn't pulled out because he was too touchy to stand the heat, who knows what would have happened.

From yesterday’s American Spectator article posted here on FR:

“A lady, if that’s the word I’m looking for, was protesting the filming of Sarah’s documentary series. Her idea of a political banner was a horizontal horror about 100 feet wide (serving as a new sort of picket fence) bearing the legend: WORST GOVERNOR EVER. Sarah respectfully asked for a breakdown on the forensic method used to calibrate the degrees of worseness in the gubernatorial sweepstakes. The woman responded: “You walked out on your responsibility to serve your term when cash was waved in front of your face, and you left to become a celebrity.”
Quoth Sarah in an excellent comeback, both witty riposte and logical rejoinder: “Oh, you wanted me to be your governor! I’m honored! Thank you!” That is as quick-on-your-political-feet as anyone this side of Dennis Miller, although Democrats dismiss it as a dumb broadside.

Not only Democrats, I guess, though I don’t know your political persuasion. I think she’s shown herself to be lighting on her feet and I think she could shut down Bam-Bam right away, in a debate.
