Last I heard, that and great boobs was all it took.
Ok, you're right in general principal. Palin needs to show another couple of incidences of gravitas.
I believe that will be forthcoming in the arena of ideas.
Obliquely at first.
Directly by summer of 2015.
I couldn't care less. What I tire of is FReepers getting all worked up, donning their armor, grabbing the lance, and charging off on their steeds at the mere mention of imperfection in Sarah Palin. She has a lot of political talent, but that does not make her an excellent administrator.
In this case, she was in her element as a snarky critic and commentator. It was a very similar speech to her awesome acceptance speech at the 2008 RNC convention. I was as excited as anyone... until I did the background work on her record. After that, it seemed like every time she opened her mouth all I got was rah-rah platitudes.
As to her physical attributes, she may be too pretty to get women to vote for her, but that screechy voice when she gets excited is her worst enemy.
In this case, the delivery was excellent and the commentary absolutely on target. She took Ted Cruz to school on this one.
