Palin is really becoming a litmus test for the elitist “You’re-not-as-good-as-me-you-Flyover-country-hick” test.
It’s becoming really clear who suffers from that syndrome just by how they react to Governor Palin.
I’ve got advanced education with a high GPA and an IQ in the above 130 range, facts I normally and almost never would bring up, but I LOVE Palin. I don’t have any problem with who she is, what her background is, and in fact, I relate highly to her Western can-do attitude.
We need her and more like her to kick the butts of people who want to make real America irrelevant.
Go for it, Governor Palin! And God bless you!
I am making a list of those with “You’re-not-as-good-as-me-you-Flyover-country-hick” syndrome. We need to know who our enemies are.

I’ve been trying to pin down what’s bothering me here, and I think it goes something like this...
When Palin took the stage at the convention - BAM!
That right there was some talent!
McCain? Not so much
OK - you could chalk it up to luck - and we say all the time that great speechmakers are not necessarily competent (ala Obama).
Except - we DO know she is competent. We know this from her proven record.
The interviews were not good.
Of course - she was walking through mine fields and she knew it.
Heavy editing made it look worse than it really was.
For me - the debate sealed the deal.
She smoked Biden.
She exhibited confidence - competence - humor- and grace.
The camera loves her, and I did not cringe once.
When she takes the stage I am relaxed.
When McCain takes the stage I cringe.
McCain says strange things. His voice quivers.
When he is attacked, he does not counterattack.
He allows value ammunition to just drop to the floor.
Many time he could have brought out heavy artillery - and he left it hanging.
My opinion is that she is a natural talent - and everyone knows it.
Give her four years to get ready? Watch out!
And the jealous ones, and the snotty ones are trying to nip the “Sarah problem” in the bud.
They’ve seen the crowds. They’ve seen the response, and they saw the millions that poured into the coffers just because of HER.
This woman makes alot of people afraid.
I totally agree. I've got academic credentials I can put up against anyone. I could beat Sarah Palin at Trivial Pursuit any day, and probably scored 100 points higher than her on the SAT. But I know she would make a thousand times better President than I. Our family just adores her and can't wait to see her run again, but this time for the top job.
