.....Some people just have an innate abilty to connect with others. In the end I think that’s Sarah’s real advantage over Bachmann.

As we know, life isn't fair -- all things and people are not equal (no matter what the LIBS keep telling our kids).

The "connect" gene is strong in Palin (that's what I'm not getting from Bachmann yet) -- it's like watching a movie and the character is sympathetic (you care about them - you connect on an emotional level).

For those ready to tell me I'm investing too much emotionally in a candidate, that is the point of my post. The voters must be invested emotionally in the GOP candidate to VOTE.

For me, Palin impresses as being more genuine - Bachmann more political.

Yep .. you hit the nail on the head ...

My brain says .. “She’s great” .. my heart isn’t in it though .. I was telling my husband this the other day .. It perplexes me why I can’t get behind her..

The closest I’ve come is that she’s “too smooth” if that makes any sense?!
