She couldn't handle a simple tv interview question about what magazines she likes to read. She would get torn to shreds. She may stand for the right things but if she can't communicate effectively and get people to fall into line then she won't be an effective leader. She wavers way too much when challenged. In my honest opinion we need another type of leader like Ronald Reagan. America was way down on itself after the Carter years and he had a way of getting people to feel proud and optimistic and was able to work with the other side of the aisle. A polarizing person like Palin is not going to get the job done. She can make all the soundbytes but actually executing the plan is a whole different story. Personally I think you're way off base about Palin but I respect your opinion. But enlighten me & give some legit examples of her wavering when challenged. Anybody that judges a persons sole worth over a TV interview done by the 3 major networks that was practically OWNED by the opposing party is easily misled instead of actually looking at her accomplishments. That's MY opinion ! The first thing Obama did after taking a 30 million dollar vacation after the election was fly around the globe & APOLOGIZES to our enemies "in his words" for the USA being a war monger nation ... That dumb son of a ***** doesn't represent how I feel about the towel heads I can promise you that ! Palin wouldn't have even gave them the time of day unless threatened & then probably would've handed them their tiny Islamic nut sacks ... I seriously doubt she has ANY fears of dealing with the hard core pro quo good old boy system & THAT is what bothers her opposition.
