Thoughts about Sarah Palin

Sometimes a person needs to step back and take a look at what is really going on with some objectivity.

6 hours away that Objectivity comes at the hands of British Journalists.

James Bennet of the Telegraph UK says:

In short, far from being a small-town mayor concerned with little more than traffic signs, she has been a major player in state politics for a decade, one who formulated an ambitious agenda and deftly implemented it against great odds.

Her sudden elevation to the vice-presidential slot on the Republican ticket shocked no one more than her enemies in Alaska, who have broken out into a cold sweat at the thought of Palin in Washington, guiding the Justice Department's anti-corruption teams through the labyrinths of Alaska's old-boy network.

It is no surprise that many of the charges laid against her have come from Alaska, as her enemies become more and more desperate to bring her down. John McCain was familiar with this track record and it is no doubt the principal reason that he chose her.

Focusing on the exotic trappings of Alaskan culture may make Palin seem a quaint and inexplicable choice. But understanding the real background of her steady rise in politics suggests that Barack Obama and Joe Biden are underestimating her badly. In this, they join two former Alaskan governors, a large number of cronies, and a trail of enemies extending back over a decade.

They can at a distance see what we cannot.

I wrote about the false Feminism of the Left and 10 things that have happened in the last 24 hours that are very encouraging. Pat Buchanan has clearly defined what Sarah's appeal is. She is us, Obama is THEM

Things are gonna Change - not the faux Change Obama promised you. Real Change is Coming!
