“Between Palin and Gingrich, HONESTLY, who would you rather see debate Obama? Who do you think really has the deeper grasp of all the issues and a superior ability to express the conservative position?”
_______________________________
For the reasons most ably stated by earlier posters, Palin. Did you happen to watch her deconstruct Biden in her debate with him? Do you seriously doubt that she would mop the floor with the vacuous Obama who can’t manage a 5 word toast without a teleprompter?

“Be honest with yourself. Who is smarter? Who is more articulate? Who would fare better as a representative of conservatism and as a person to articulate the conservative vision and belief system.”

___________________________
I really don’t know who is smarter. Sarah Palin is more correct on the issues and believes them more deeply than Gingrich who mouths them when it is meet to do so and distances himself from them when it is not. And she articulates them in a way that inspires people and does not put them to sleep.

I think you confuse smugness for intelligence. Jimmy Carter, who had a degree in nuclear physics from Annapolis and finished in the top 10% of his class, obviously knew things that Ronald Reagan did not know. Reagan occasionally mangled the syntax and Carter delivered his points in neat cookie cutter soundbites. Yet Reagan demolished Carter with one line in 1980. Carter was smug and arrogant, much like Gingrich and the American people hate that. They do not like these politicians talking down to them. Gingrich has a Ph.D in condescension (as does Obama).

Gingrich has skills akin to Carter’s. Palin has skills akin to Reagan’s. Palin is fearless and not cowed by political correctness and she would stand toe to toe with Obama and the lamestream media and beat them. Gingrich, at the sign of the least pressure, would trim his sails. and you know it. And, in trimming hs sails, he would lose.

Mark-there is no way for me to express to you how THRILLED I am that you see Sarah for what she has done, what she stands for and what she could become to this nation.

She lifts me up so high; I had forgotten what that good flush of patriotism and common sense can do!

She is a warrior for commonsense and defense of our American Constitution.

And she is so unaffected by elitist snobbery and unaffected in her own demeanor....ya just have to love her if ya love our country. There is no way to split that apart.

I saw Newt Gingrich almost single-handedly orchestrate the end of 40 years of Democrat rule of the House. Didn’t see much sail-trimming then.
