I took my mom to see Palin speak, this was after the McCain run, maybe 2011? We got up front, right in the fromt, we were just 2 feet from all the speakers. There were about 4 speakers sitting there, getting up when it was their turn. Mom said, after, “Sarah Palin is the real deal.” I just remember staring at Breitbart... Sigh... When he spoke it was like electricity. He was enveloped with an aura of life. Damn cute too.
What a great memory “Tink”! I wasn’t expecting Sarah to be so small in built.
I’ll have to say when I saw John Kennedy sparks flew. I had never experienced someone who good make you feel so alive and excited all at once. He could look at you and the charisma was unbelievable! I was quite young and not old enough to vote but he will always be in my memory. My father was a democrat and back then I just fell into line. It wasn’t long before I became a Republican. President Johnson turned me into a Republican along with Richard Nixon.
