She has done a reality show and made money.
I think Newt's political achievements are a bit more than Palin's.
You’re focused on Palin’s activities since her governorship and her vice presidential run.
The same would only be fair of Gingrich.
What has he been doing? Consulting, media, publications....exactly the same as Palin.
For whatever reason, you don’t have substantial reasons for dismissing this particular conservative, this Sarah Palin.
If you want to say something like, “I like Perry better because of his multiple terms as Texas governor, his jobs record, and they are much better than Palin’s credentials”, then I’ll say that you’re saying something with substance. In the meantime, you’re trying to diminish the actual experience of a very accomplished woman, and that’s simply not possible. Her record is substantial. It stands on its own. If she were my daughter I’d have a bumper sticker that reads: “My daughter is an honor student at Presidential University”
