Much as I like Palin, when joined by Hewitt and Praeger, her repetitive mantras of common sense solutions and hard working people seem lacking in depth of thought. I’m not saying she can’t develop a program that goes well beyond the platitudes, I just don’t think she has done so.Still she greatly fills a role, much as Sam Adams did in arousing the cause of liberty while his cousin John and men like Jefferson coped with the realities of implementing those ideas.
This is worth our time. It is Sarah Palins address, then her joining with Dennis Prager and Hugh Hewitt for questions and answers, last Saturday 5/22, at the Saturday 5/22, at the University of Denver:

It is indeed worth the time to watch in its entirety.
((((( SARAH PALIN PING )))))
Sarah has a TV/Web channel. Way Cool!!
For Hewitt to say what he said was quite a turn around, as he has hinted before that she may not have the full ability to lead. Saying what he did about her at the end was a very powerful endorsement of her abilities, and a very sincere one.
Sorry, you're being snookered by the old left wing, paulbot, Romney talking points.
That being said, I hope she gets a speech coach to help her not elevate her voice so high when she gets into her points.
Amen. Female politicians tend to sound shrill after a while. Michelle Bachman is the only one I can think of off hand whose voice doesn’t get on my nerves after a few minutes.
I guess your comment means you saw the speech and the panel Q&A. Hugh Hewitt sure seemed impressed by the governor, all the more meaningful considering he has been extremely lukewarm towards Palin.
During the discussion Hewitt commented directly about an aspect of Sarah's speech, U.S. policy towards Iran:
"If you listened closely to Governor Palin's speech, there was a very comprehensive critique, very sophisticated, very detailed, of the path we are on and why it will not deter this most dangerous of regimes."In his closing remarks, Hewitt was even more complimentary when he was talking about Gov. Palin and attributes of "transformative political leaders". Check it out.
Reagan got accused repeatedly of being "shallow", even within his own party. Sarah's doing fine.
Hewitt’s a RINO pushing weasel. Prager is a Scoop Jackson style cold war liberal. Palin should try finding some conservatives to hang with.
“Sorry, you’re being snookered by the old left wing, paulbot, Romney talking points.”
Hugh was a Romney dead ender last time around. Even wrote a book supporting him: “A Mormon In the White House”
Yes, bookmark it because she posts ALL of her appearances!
Such as who?
Yes he was, which makes his observation about Palin even more interesting.
I'm not choosing based on vocal quality (where Sarah gets a B- at best), or beauty (where she's an A, somewhat behind the A+ I married). I want integrity, patriotism, and common sense, combined with demonstrated executive experience. Sarah is at least an A- in those areas, which puts her well ahead of any other electable candidate I can think of. I'd love to see someone even better emerge, but I'm still waiting. Unless/until that happens, I'm leaning in Sarah Palin's direction.
It was a great video with a great introduction, and I love the music as well.
I understand what you mean about her raised pitch, but that’s sincere passion at work there.
The animating contest of freedom is well, animated. I’ll take that over The Won’s tele prompted droning any day.
Gretta is playing a part of Sarah’s speech on her show! Wow!
The depth of thought has come in when Sarah writes opinion pieces, where she delves into particular subjects.
I don't have a problem with her hanging around the less conservative Repubs and Dems. If they're willing to listen to her, and consider her positions on the issues, more power to her!
In 1966 I watched Reagan chew Bobby Kennedy up and spit him out in a debate conducted over satellite with Oxford students.(one of whom was Bill Bradley.)Anyone watching that night never doubted that Reagan was the real deal. The Dems who said otherwise were in denial. As far as Palin’s written pieces, they’re good, but Reagan’s thoughts, not publicly available at the time, show a man with a wonderful depth of thought and imagination.
