They do not have any bikini picks of Sarah Palin (cheap traffic bait phrase), but, this article reads more like those from other countries about her, which treat her with respect, rather then the batsh*t crazy unhinged sexist we have been getting in most of the American Credentialed Media. SF Gate: Palin Floats Like a Butterfly, Stings Like a Bee
The Democrats are in trouble. Sarah Palin has totally changed the dynamics of this campaign.
Period.
Palin’s speech to the GOP National Convention on Wednesday has set it up so that the Republicans are now on offense and Democrats are on defense. And we don’t do well on defense.
Suddenly, Palin and John McCain are the mavericks and Barack Obama and Joe Biden are the status quo, in a year when you don’t want to be seen as defending the status quo.
From taxes to oil drilling, Democrats are now going to have to start explaining their positions.
Whenever you start having to explain things, you’re on defense.
Exactly. And all those in the Nutroots are whining about Palin not going on the news shows while Barry was scared to go on Fox for 19 months, Biden is still avoiding Fox, and when they show up on the other shows, they are given softball questions like “why isn’t Sarah on Meet The Press?”
Willie Brown, who wrote the story for the SF Chronicle, continues
She didn’t have to prove she was “of the people.” She really is the people.
She is. She has the story of a regular person, rather then some crazy “hey, I was a community organizer, and I am qualified to be president because I have been running for president. Oh, ignore that I have never done anything in any office, never taken any chances, just been a good party foot soldier” story.
And remember, the Palin bandwagon needs to roll for only two months.
You know one of the reasons average people love Palin? Because she was not the safe pick (like Biden!). She was exotic, politically speaking. Picking her was saying “you know what? Screw England, we want to be our own country” and “yeah, we could let the Confederacy go, but, damn, we are one country” and “yeah, Hitler is no real threat to us, but, we can’t let Europe go down.” She wasn’t the safe pick, like a guy who has been sitting in the Senate voting with the Democrat majority and the liberal base 94% of the time, making him the 3rd most liberal Senator in 2007.
Americans like challenges. Americans like when people take chances. Americans like to be ahead of the curve. They don’t like to play it safe.
…to continue…..PIMF
And we don’t do well on defense
Honesty at last….
