She is a great for our party. She is great for messaging. She is very popular among segments of the base...That does not mean she is the best person to be POTUS/CINC.
She will be much easier to defeat than would a Daniels or Barbour, IMO. For Obama. Her negatives are already high. There is a segment of the population that won't give her another honest look (wrongly so, but it is there).
Think of what an incoherent C. Gibson did to her in a back and forth session (not to mention Couric). Obama would likely do very well Vs her in a debate. Just from a stylistic stand point (even though he would be lying and telling half-truths all along). Palin tends to look to have a quick answer without thinking to the questions asked, quite often I find myself noticing. That will not play well over the course of a campaign.
I will concede, Other people may be better on paper. But Palin has a destiny type vibe. She is fearless when it comes to going after Obama and his agenda. She is real. and I like that the other side hates her the most.
Our country needs Sarah Palin and more like her..
