I agree with you. I fear the damage the MSM has done to her is not going to wear off in four years. Eight? Sure, people have short memories. But for the short term, she’s been effectively Quayled to the mushy middle of this country. She gives one helluva speech but from a rhetorical depth standpoint she’s Barack Obama with a record of accomplishment. Jindal can communicate why socialism is the wrong path. Palin can TELL you it sucks - but at this point in her career she doesn’t have the ability to tell you WHY.
I really think we need both type of communicators. She can make things very understandable and Jindal can appeal to the more cerebral.
I think Bx0 won because he stood up and TOOK the nomination. He didn’t ask for it, he didn’t namby-pamby around, he took it, as did Reagan, and then took the election.
We need someone big enough to go for the prize and take it. Like W, sort of.
