“Big difference between a slip of the tongue (north/south), and stating that Poland was a totally free country imo.”

Depends on the person...if it were Reagan confusing the Koreas, no prob., he was old and EVERYONE had no doubt as to what he thought of the Communists. Others don’t have as much room. It’s not us that will change our vote in Nov. 2012, it’s the people not on this site...that’s who I worry about.

We’ll see if DeMint (or someone equivalent...of which there are few) steps up - and then see if they slip up. If they do, then yea, it becomes a non-discriminator. But if DeMint can keep things straight, he’ll be MUCH TOUGHER to beat than someone (anyone) who slips up once in a while. Like I say, we’re talking Republicans here, we have VERY LITTLE room to slip up (particularly compared to Democrats)...maybe we would like it to be different, but it is not.

Bob, you admit it depends on the person. Palin might also have the strength of character and likeability that Reagan had. The big advantage Reagan had over Palin was being a favorite resident of California (favorite son of sorts). However Palin holds a star power that imitates the star power of Reagan, imho.

She’s also not a dunce by any means. No one runs and beats Murkowski for Governor in AK who’s a dunce. That’s just simply untrue.

I agree with you that Republicans, and espcially Conservatives are held to a different standard, but look at the mistakes and gaffes that obummer and biden have made, and tell me that Palin is even 1/2 as prone.

We could do much worse (like look where we are) than a defender of the US Constitution, true Conservative and staunch pro-life advocate like Sarah Palin.

All I have to say is - go Sarah and go Jim DeMint.

This is all going to shake out. For now, we’ve got to see through the fog of the socialist media’s activist assault on SP.

Would it help us if she were perfect? Sure, but she’s human, and we know that, and she’s worth defending against the socialist slime who would rather talk about a slip of the tongue over the actual substantive massive socialistcare cost over-runs and power grabs. And why not - who would be ever able to defend their socialist pals? Not even the socialist press is that clever.

I would just conclude - let’s recall who our true enemies are, and more importantly, who our true friends are.
