I think it may grate you...and most I know can't stand The Magic BO but he got elected anyway....so much for your nebulous logic....
It grates on me that Palin is such an ineffective messenger for the conservative cause.
She fumbles our football too often. I expect her to take the conservative argument and run with it, but instead she stumbles over some platitudes and drops the ball on the best points. If we’re going to hand off to someone, it needs to be someone that can run with our message all the way to the goal line.
I am in agreement with what Charles Krauthammer has said about her recently.
