If You Can Write It On Your Hand, You're Probably On The Right Track

Huffington Post is all over this image, showing Sarah Palin's hand during the Tea Party Convention speech. On it, she has written: "Energy, ~~budget~~ cut tax, Lift American Spirits."

Here's HuffPo's Stefan Sirucek's analysis:

The takeaway is that this presidential contender apparently can't remember her supposed core principles and needs a cheat-sheet when simply asked about her beliefs.

I don't know about you, but I'd be thrilled if all Republican politicians wrote their core principles on their hands and referenced them frequently. It'd be a welcome change from ostensibly having principles and then forgetting about them. And I don't buy the elitism in his analysis: Americans are probably more in touch with someone who occasionally writes on their hand rather than someone who never does.
