Both the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are fascinating to visit (I have). Once again, Sarah Palin is confounding the media buy not playing the political game they and Republican elites contend that she must play. She is proving them wrong while leading the leftmedia around by the nose and forcing them to notice some of the historical sights that help define American exceptionalism. Sarah Palin is also framing her (possible) candidacy in terms of her love and respect for America and it's history. This is in sharp contrast to Obama, who disparages that history and who clearly has no respect for America. Palin is staking out her claim to the presidency in a very original, clever and effective way. I'm not really surprised but I am delighted.

“She is proving them wrong while leading the leftmedia around by the nose and forcing them to notice some of the historical sights that help define American exceptionalism” - love this!!

any idea when is she coming to Boston??? we would love to see her - a stop at the site of the Boston Tea Party must be on her itinerary.

This could be an opportunity for her to clearly frame her opinion on the illegal immigration problem in unambiguous terms. I hope she takes advantage of it.
