Palin. A quick comment.

During recent weeks I've heard the liberal bleat saying that Sarah Palin is a dime store dummy in high heels. The vindictive tone is more than a little over blown - and I wonder why? One pundit suggested that the "Radical Liberal Democrats", who are currently driving the nation to ruin, figure Sarah Palin is right about the issues - and so popular with the plain folks - that she really is a threat.

All of a sudden I woke up and  started to listen to Sarah Palin with both ears, and Mr. Liberal Democrat, you are, for the first time in years, correct. You've got a problem.

Sarah Palin is indeed a threat to the anti-American socialists now in power. Not qualified? You've got to be kidding. She is a great deal more qualified than our present leader is. She actually understands a better and more realistic way to turn the country back to a successful path.

It is much too early to judge - but I suspect that Sarah Palin still doesn't have the gravitas to be President. This despite being ten times more capable than our current leader.  In my mind I see her as an important part of the next administration. Perhaps as a key advisor or  the appointed boss of the Department of Education, or perhaps Homeland Security, or The Bureau of Land Management.

At the moment she and Michelle Bachman seem to be the very public faces of the TEA Party. These TEA people claim to be the "plain folks" of America who are worried blue that the government is not doing their job. They see the corruption, earmarks, thousand dollar toilet seats, jet airliners for Nancy Pelosi, uncontrolled lobbying, and just plain incompetance. Sarah Palin and dozens of prominent supporters like Michelle Bachman are walking the fence between the TEA people and the elderly set in stone GOP tradition of speak loudly, do little, and get re-elected. 

The TEA people have an almost equal distaste for either of our main political parties.  They want to beg and force the Republicans back toward the middle of the road by satisfying the TEA Party's traditional conservative agenda.

If Sarah Palin can do it, there is at least a chance that she will earn an important assignment in the next administration -  while she prepares for, dare I say it, the Presidency.
