Why Sarah Palin For V-P?

Have you SEEN this lady's family? I've just watched a bunch of her campaign for Gov ads; her family is GORGEOUS and her voice practically oozes "trust me." Strong but feminine...today's Donna Reed type mom.

She's a PR dream!

Oh if she runs on the ticket, people are going to compare her with Hil...if that happens and I was running Hil's campaign, I'd cry.

Seriously, BILLIONS are spent on shaping the public's perception. This women doesn't even have to try.

Oh unfair (heheheh).

Sanity, I was wondering where you were! (Just kidding.) Yeah, we're all on to something very significant here. As I said, all the kids have modern names, but thankfully not a "Moon Unit" among them. She's a very appealing person, and I love the fact she's married to a fisherman. There's a place in York, Maine called "Rick's All Seasons" (think it's still there), and it opens at 2:30 a.m. (breakfast for the lobster fishing group) and closes after lunch. The clientele: rich people from Boston with vacation homes, tourists, locals, fishermen (and a few fisherwomen), and riders of Harley motorcycles (of which Rick is one). Welcome to America!

Breakfast was wonderful -- a week's worth of cholesterol in one meal!

A key for Sarah is to run as herself. Going back to JFK (who memorized 100 5X8 cards prepared for him by Schlesinger and one or two others) and convinced the MSM (easily convinced of many things) that he "knew everything.' Actually, he knew the cards.

A generation ago, somebody asked George Wallace a question about Afghanistan. He immediately avoided the question & launched into a denunciation of foreign aid. Wallace's wife said in amazement, "I wasn't even aware that George knew anything about Afghanistan." :-)

She needs to talk about principles -- ideas -- rather than talk about what she thinks Hamid Karzai needs to do about the war lords.

Somebody said today that Congress is trying to put too many different things in the Immigration Bill, and it needs to be 'segmented.' I agreed. Doing something is better than doing nothing. Doing things in pieces is sometimes the best way to go. Leave everybody a "little" disappointed and not most people a "lot" disappointed.

for the kind words, I'm very flattered.

I like the sound of "strategist"...it sounds a lot better than "armchair quarterback"...haha.

I hope my "viral marketing' piece doesn't disappoint you, but you are a viral marketer, and a darn good one. See, in this world there are people who complain about thing and then there are those who make good things happen. You're one of the latter. Sanity is one, Gamecock in one, Sandra Wise is one, Appletonian is one, Sheila is one, Wil Keepers (even when I disagree with him) is one. Did I mention that Karl Rove was one? He is, or at least he used to be. The difference is that he energizes the base. You're wise enough to realize that it also helps to build the base.
