RonDog, Thanks for an excellent article. Like Bill I am delighted to see Sarah's chess moves. As you point out she is so inside the loop her opponents cannot even figure out what she is doing. She has the smarts of a Aikido Master.
Living so close to nature as she and her family does in Alaska, as well as hunting and fishing, I see that she has developed that almost intuitive sense of how to track game and find the fish. You see it in her moves in politics. And you see her intense competitive drive tempered by knowing when to wait for the right move.
When she left the Governorship in Alaska immediately I was saying "Yess!!! Perfect." It was such a brilliant move. Totally unexpected and it ruined the whole plan her opponents had to corner, focus, freeze and destroy her. This is why the trolls bring it up all the time. They cannot stand that she just stepped aside and let them fall on their faces.
We have not seen this level of political gamesmanship and mastery in a very long time.
RonDog, were you just in Iowa? Did I see you in a news photo of an event there?
Mr Sol
No, I have not been in Iowa for a long time.
And, I probably will not be there on 9/3 for the impending “fireworks,” either. :(
I need to find a way to transcend my pesky current “day job.”
