Your analysis of Palin’s strategy is very good, and in my view, is just simple observation, reasoning, and deduction on your part.
It’s always interesting to me that so many people who are watching Palin fail to see the various aspects of her strategy at work. I really don’t believe that it takes a genius level I.Q. to figure it out.
From what I can see, it’s just Big League Politics 101.
Thanks. I'd like to think it's even close to good. But I wanted to respond and elaborate on what I see in Sarah Palin. And also mindful that I speak as a noob among the many outstanding voices on this site every day. IMHO:
Sarah Palin is Mrs. Smith gone to Washington. An ordinary citizen. She is one of US (The Great Unwashed), not one of THEM (The Inside The Beltway Professional Apparatchik). She is the Anti-Romney, the Anti-Perry, the Anti-McCain. And most importantly, the Anti-Obama. She is the restoration of sanity in the executive branch.
She is exactly what the Founders had in mind. A Citizen/Leader. She is part of the solution, not part of the problem.
She sure has been laying down the click-track that everybody in politics seems to feel the need to dance to even if they can't feel the beat...:oP
