She will be our next ‘real’ president.
-"She will be our next real president."
Anyone (and there are many) peddling the silly idea that PALIN would better 'energizing the base' than running for President, really are masquerading something else... that THEY DON'T LIKE PALIN! PERIOD!
Tell me the last time you saw someone this popular and constantly getting this much media attention who people said their main job should be to "energize the base" and stay away from running for the Presidency?
A totally absurd, ludicrous, and disingenuous proposition.
