I just meant that Christie has a way of nailing unruly interviewers and crowds. I probably would not agree with many of his positions but I get a kick out of his media skills.

As for Sarah Palin, we’ll just have to wait and see. IF she jumps in I would guess she’ll swamp the field.

Palin won the “free to the public” corn kernel poll. (Tickets to the straw poll are $30 each.)

I suggest people see the CNN clip where she was walking through the fair and Don Lemon asked her a series of questions. She handled it very well, even with distractions of other microphones ad cameras and people asking for autographs.

My favorite part was when she talked about how the media hadn’t vetted Obama very well, and Lemon replied, “Some people say he was vetted much more than you were.” She stopped, drew back, and told him that was the most ridiculous thing she had ever heard. Then she laughed at him. LOL!

I think she waited too long. If she jumps in now that Perry is in, she will only drain off votes and cause a 3-to-4 way split -- of the conservative vote. That will not be good. She could become the Huckabeeite hanger-on of 2012 and could give Obama a good chance at reelection.

I do think, barring a 'macaca' or 'Muskie' or 'Deaniac' moment, Perry will be the strongest going into the convention.

The talking heads will make a big deal out of the fact that SP did not get very many write-in votes, and Perry did. Some of them may even gloat. It will be painful to watch.

Exactly, its gonna get interesting no matter what.
I hate computers especially when they die. Mine at the house just did.

but I get a kick out of his media skills.

Two other politicians that seem to have this nailed also were Rummy and Darth Vader. I loved their pressers, and hoped never to miss a smack down of the DB LSM.
