In one speech, Palin has said more of substance than Obama has in 3 years. But also, more than the GOP has for even longer. People are so starved for REAL substance and ACTION on it that one speech seems like a revaluation.

Very good point, and it underscores why Palin remains so popular with mainstream Americans. She simply says what most of us have been thinking for decades. As has been said many times, "she is one of us".

Some people might discount that by calling it simple populism, but in Palin's case, she strikes right to the very core of the root agreements this nation was founded upon. Like Reagan before her, she begins at our Founding Ideals, and works her way back to the problem from there.

For her, the answers to this nation's myriad problems all lie within our basic American principles - not some confounded and convoluted theory out of Big Academia or a government think tank.

She pointed back to our nation's founding and history many times during her Indianola speech. This is where she draws her strength and insight, as should we all, for this country was built upon timeless ideals and truth. Putting those ideals into our Founding Charter, and into practice is what made this the most prosperous, the strongest, most successful nation in world history.

It's a return to those ideals that Americans are demanding, as is Sarah Palin. She see this yearning as clear as day. I don't know that her opponents in the political arena see it as she does. I suspect that many see only polls, and shift their rhetoric to take advantage of what they think is the flavor of the season. Perhaps some see it better, but none articulate the clarity of vision as well as Palin does.

I sense that she experiences what she's articulating, right down to the core of her being, and I trust that. It's why I'll do everything in my power to help this remarkable patriot get into the White House.
