The reality-TV aspect of her personality and her folksy off-the-cuff speaking style do seem to me to be parts of who she is, peccadilloes such as anyone or any leader has. They endear her to some and put others off, but they are peripheral as to who she would be as a president.
Okay. For the record, Sarah Palin is my first choice currently (although 'what if' she doesn't run?) with Herman Cain a close second. I have posted consistently very positively about Sarah Palin. I agree that she did not quit, that she decided to attack in a different direction.
Sarah Palin, following her resignation: This is not the face of a 'quitter'. Look out libs!
Btw, you only prove my point that too many posts at FR are overtly thin-skinned about any perceived 'criticism' of Sarah Palin.(even if it may actually be a 'grudging' acknowledgment that Sarah's chosen path may be the right one and better than what the 'conventional wisdom')
