Back in 2000 we were looking for a candidate that talked like us, the Americans wanted someone who used words we used and did not talk like a lawyer. And (in my opinion) the right guy won.
But now, Americans are fearful for the future, we're losing globally and they want someone who is articulate and will not have to run to the morning new hour programs to explain what they meant the night before during a debate or someone who blames the media for every misspoken word. We know the media is leftist but we're going to need a candidate who's on his/her feet during the debate and be more articulate than Obama during the debates and have the facts, the data, the numbers to discredit him live on stage during the debate and not the day after in a “what I should have said” morning show interview.
I support Palin but I'm not looking forward to the run if she is the nominee. Hopefully all the candidates on our side are preparing themselves.
Why? The establishment and the media are going to try to make foolish any Republican candidate .
Any word uttered by a Republican will be scrutinized and torn apart while they let the slip ups 0 go (57 states , my muslim faith etc etc etc)
Sarah Palin is no fool and she has learned much since the last election. She doesn’t need the press as she is right now currently by passing them and still getting her message out.
She is what the country needs and if they don’t elected her they are going to get what they deserve.
