Palin needs first and foremost a threshold level of credibility with voters on defense and national security which is the only Constitutional duty of the federal government. If she can’t speak with authority on foreign policy, and the bar has been set very, very low, it’s essentially over.
She can go back to being goddess of the Tea Party as the economy will no doubt play more heavily into Congressional races.
“Palin needs first and foremost a threshold level of credibility with voters on defense and national security which is the only Constitutional duty of the federal government.”
Doesn’t the federal government have the duty to “coin Money and regulate the Value thereof” according the Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution? But I digress...
“If she can’t speak with authority on foreign policy, and the bar has been set very, very low, it’s essentially over.”
What’s over? I’m not saying that we shouldn’t expect more from SP, but what is over? Could you, I and all of us expect and want more foreign policy authority/knowledge from our POTUS - yes. Could Sarah Palin still be elected POTUS - yes. So what’s over?
“She can go back to being goddess of the Tea Party as the economy will no doubt play more heavily into Congressional races.”
With all due respect, you sound annoyed with Gov. Palin, and for that matter with the Tea Party. Or am I reading too much into your comments (would you like to elaborate?) Don’t you understand how instrumental the TPs were in the huge number of HoR and local seats that changed hands on 11/2. I’d say if Palin is goddess of that, she really helped out her nation. What have you and I don’t by comparison - LOL?
Look, Sarah Palin isn’t my first choice for POTUS - but I don’t think we have to essentially mock her, and the TPs, by using phrases like ‘go back to being goddess of the Tea Party’ - unless you really are into tearing her, and the Tea Parties down? Honestly, you sound like you’re writing for the New York Times...;)
