I watched most of it on streaming Fox News, and I didn’t want to interrupt it earlier to post. That was just great. Magnificent. Both the speech and the Q&A afterwards.

Sarah can think on her feet, unlike a certain teleprompter addicted excuse for Commander in Chief.

I was a bit disturbed when she was asked the “President Palin” question at the end. But the audience response was terrific, and her handling of it was terrific. Also her handling of the Tea Party leadership question.

It’s pretty much what I’ve been trying to say. If the Tea Party needs a leader, it needs someone who understands and believes in what it’s all about, someone who can work with people, not command them, someone who can help the movement realize its aims. Not someone who tries to take over the movement and run it from on high.

After reading Sarah’s book and seeing how she has worked as a leader all her life, I think she’s right for the job. She is a team leader, like she once was as captain of her basketball team. You don’t need someone who tells everyone what to do. You need someone who can bring out the best in all the members of the team. And I think she can do that. She did it as mayor. She tried to do it as governor. This speech confirmed it for me.

Very well said, thank you, I agree.

The best 'leaders' I have ever worked with and for are those who listened to ideas and accepted valid criticism, instead of commanding activities. Too many people allow their egos to turn them into martinets, ultimately damaging and squelching the team spirit and camaraderie so evident in our greatest teams - the Rangers and Seals.

I'm not too fond of bio books, but her's was a great read, well worth the price. Run, Sarah, Run !!
