Krauthamer is right on this...to a point. Palin does need to establish her bona fides on the heavy issues, her performance against Biden was not even "adequate."

I'm certain she has the brains to do so prior to the campaign, but she needs to begin to do so now.

On the otherhand, she will never satisfy the elitist in our party or the LIbtards in the Dim Party. Republicans need to know that going into the 2012 election. The press will attack her at every turn and there will be no let up on the drum-beat that she isn't smart enough on the issues. That much is clear.

On the "Pro" side, she has a lightning wit and a quick tongue and she will hold her own in any exchange. She's smart, tough, personable in a way we've not seen on the right since...dare I say it...Reagan. She has a natural affinity with the people and she's a great campaigner.

If she spends the time now really becoming a policy wonk, learning the fundamentals in foreign policy and economics so that they come natural to her, she should wipe the floor with any opponent.

But know this for sure...there will be no "level playing field" in this election. She will have to fight to get herself heard over the roar of the Obamedia machine.

"If she spends the time now really becoming a policy wonk, learning the fundamentals in foreign policy and economics so that they come natural to her, she should wipe the floor with any opponent."

Sarah does not need to become a "policy wonk." Reagan wasn't a policy wonk, he just understood conservative principles and believed in them. That is all I want to see from Sarah. Policy wonks are a dime a dozen and I would not vote for one of them to become president. Like Reagan, Sarah can bring policy wonks in to implement her policies.

If Sarah continues to connect to the people and can show that she has Reagan's innate understanding of conservative principles, as she seems to have done in Alaska, then she can bring in all the policy wonks later.

I’m certain she has the brains to do so prior to the campaign, but she needs to begin to do so now.

Thanks to the Washington establishment we’re $12 Trillion in debt; how the hell can Sarah do worse?
