Without getting into speculation on the motivations of the New York Times to publish a respectful article that finds 'gravitas' in a Sarah Palin speech, I'll just note that Palin is clearly looking at the entire U.S. political universe, it's failings and the solutions. I agree with her observations and sincerely hope that she decides to run for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. Her candidacy would shake the very foundations of the political left as well as the GOP establishment. Her election could begin the process of restoring America to where it needs to be following decades of depredations by the political class and recently, the deliberate undermining of Americas economy by Barack Hussein Obama.

Well, I hope she chooses to work for the nomination in the Republican Party.

I am NOT a Palin supporter, per se - I’m not a detractor either. But I fully agree with what you wrote. The last debate tells me she really needs to be in this election...even if she doesn’t win the nomination.

Nice to see someone in the press see more than a characature when looking at Palin.
