Palin has her folksy charm, but I haven't seen her do a great job articulating conservative ideas in a way that appeals to a broad range of the population.
Without knowing which other freeper names that you go by, I’m not much interested.
IMHO, Gingrich is the the anti-Palin. The whole renewing America philosophy that he gave birth to was all about detail.
However, and this speaks extremely well of John McCain. McCain is obviously much, much smarter than I am. I would have never thought that his ticket needed something as superficial as I percieve Palin to be, but the cult-like following she’s developed just proves that he was right, and I was wrong.
