That was really good. I loved her spunk, & she didn’t miss a beat. Surprisingly, I didn’t hear any boos from the audience, which I thought I would w/ it being from SoCal. She’s definitely made for TV, isn’t she?
Sarah Palin has charisma, but unlike many liberals, part of what is appealing to the public is that she is the genuine article. When you listen to Sarah Palin you believe that this woman is the same at home as she is in the public eye.
I believe that for many individuals, including some liberals, find this kind of quiet confidence, unabashed, uncompromising, unflinching, well poised conservative to be charming and refreshing compared to the base, vulgar, obnoxious, “look at me!, look at me!, I’m a STRONG woman and you’d better take me seriously because I can kick you a#@!’, classless public figure.
People believe they are seeing someone whose not pandering or groveling for votes/approval (remember Biden and restaurant and Home Depot stunt? Or Hillary and the planted members in the audience?), and that, in and of itself, is appealing to many.
Surprisingly, I didn’t hear any boos from the audience, which I thought I would w/ it being from SoCal.That impressed ME, too -- even MORE so, since I was in the studio audience that night, and saw first-hand that hard-core Adam Lambert fans made up almost HALF of the room.
She had a lot of support
