Sarah Palin's Impact

In his first post-election interview, John McCain said he "couldn't be happier" with his choice of running mate Sarah Palin. How do you think she affected the election -- and what lies ahead for her?

How about asking who paid for Michelle  Obama's clothes and what stores she shop in?

I think she needs more grooming - but this is also the beauty of her.  She's honest - she's candid - and that's refreshing.  I think she has the potential to come back and do something great yet.

John McCain is a class act.   In addition he is a gentleman and therein lies his problem.    He refused to hit and slam Obama with Obama's weak resume, his leftist alliances, his anti American and bigoted mentors and his weak record on virtually anykthing.   Sarah Palin had nothing to do with the loss.   She is undeniably a star, charismatic and totally in touch with middle America which is why the liberal media hates her.   She is effective and will absolutely be a major player.   She mistakenly took the bait with those two ridiculous interviews with the leftist lightweights, Gibson and Curic.  The funny thing was Gibson didn't know the answer to his own question on the Bush Doctrine.   She was bright, articulate and a crowd pleaser unlike her Republican counterpart who had a gaffe a day on dates, places, historic occurances, and his own record but the liberal media never made a point of his gaffes.   When Palin drew 17,000 at a rally Biden drew 700 in the same city.   The fact that Palin is still being villified by the leftist media proves they fear her potential in the coming years.

I feel in the beginning she may have been a good choice, seeing that Hilary was now out of the race and to me that was the only reason she was picked it was a strategy to get the white female vote.  But the minute she opened her mouth that did it, she is not that smart and it came across in so many of her interviews.  Oh well it's over now and maybe she can brush up on her history and geography and try again.

Then the man's a bigger liar or fool than he appears to be.  In interview after interview she displayed abysmal ignorance of key issues and current events, I was very embarassed for her. She should exit public office with whatever is left of her remaining dignity as early as possible.

Sara Palin seems to have an enormous ambition that outstrips her talents and is like George W Bush in that regard.  She is all glamour and no substance.  We should remember that most big city mayors govern a larger population than Alaska so her so called "executive experience" isn't very impressive and neither is her knowlege of the United States constitution, of our goverment and politics, science and world affairs and even her religious ideas are not mainstream and are simpleminded and foolish and not worthy of an adult.  In short she was totally unqualified for vice president and McCain showed a real lapse in judgement by picking her.  I think she contributed to his defeat.

She is a consumate politician and a future candidate to be reckoned with.  She will evaluate the lessons she has learned and convert them to her benefit. I am amazed at the nasty comments the left continually lambasted her with.
