I was never a fan of Sarah Palin. She is not a smart Republican candidate.

Kurt,

The left freaks out any time an anti-abortion candidate — particularly an attractive woman — gets traction.

Sorry. As I wrote in a previous article, one’s position on abortion doesn’t tell me anything useful. One could be a communist dictator and oppose abortion because one has a low population and needs cannon fodder. One can oppose abortion and be a complete socialist — such as many Roman Catholics.

Abortion tells us nothing whatsoever about whether one has any specifically American values.

And Sarah Palin just doesn’t cut it as a true American candidate. She’s had multiple chances to stake out uncompromising American positions when it counted and she repeatedly missed the boat.

There has to be something there to make them so rabid whenever they think of her–which is good. I love to see the Left freaking out because of a girl.

Given the last primary free-for-all, where the Libs voted for McCain to pie our results (in Tx we didn’t have a choice becauase the ‘conservatives’ had all dropped out before we had our primaries)- I’d vote for Sarah because she’s NOT a moderat, or a ‘Maveric’.

I think it’s the Barack Obama school of campaigning.

Inundate people with your presence despite ostensibly having no particular goal, say and do nothing of any substance whatsoever, and then make a run for something big as the candidate of “change.”
