Is Sarah Palin A Formidable Foe Or A Flake?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Is she Sharron Angle or Ronald Reagan in a dress. I know it's fashionable around here to make fun of her and I do myself but I and we have been wrong about what appeals to a plurality or majority of our fellow Americans. Listing to her is like listening to fingernails on a chalk board but I can't help but feel there are many Americans that are swayed by her anecdotes, bromides, panaceas, and cliches.

she is a new phenomena

the reality show candidate let us hope this is just a passing fad.

2. Actually I think she is both a flake and a formidable foe. She

may end up scorching a lot of rethug tails. If this was some other country it would be entertaining and would make a good comedic movie. But still you just gotta chuckle for the fits she is gonna cause in the GOP.

3. Why does it have to be "OR" ???

I think we've lost to more than one flake in the past.

4. IMHO, The Two Are Mutually Exclusive

If she beats my candidate she's no flake.

5. I have two words for you.

President George W. Bush.

7. Here's My Take On Sarah Palin.

I think this "aw shucks" demeanor is camouflage for her true self; her true self being a calculating, manipulative, cunning person whose overriding goal is to get what she wants. We "misunderestimate" her at our peril. She's Tony Soprano in a dress.

8. I agree, she is a talented grifter and truly dangerous.

9. This Should Be Interesting

I am trying to think of similar candidates in American political history.

I think Reagan had the same similar appeal. I don't know about personalty.
