I would share your initial opinion except I don't know of any politician whose speeches interest me that much. I don't think what she does with these speeches is engage on some policy-wonk level. I think she's doing what Hillary Clinton's "listening tour" did. Remember how we all laughed at that? Did a helluva lot of good. Palin and her staff know that she doesn't have to get out there and be deep; her fans don't need it, and the unconverted don't want it. They want something simple to take away from her appearances, and it seems she's trying to do that. Makes sense all around.
The MSM damages themselves by their continued attack on her.
By the time 2011 rolls around, the public will be tired of the constant media attacks that they will no longer have an affect.
They’ve already lost their effectiveness and have made the media a pathetic parody of themselves.
Sniping about what someone wears or other trivial things doesn’t matter.
The MSM continues to lie while Palin continues to preach truth.
Truth will eventually win out.
It always does.
Palin is a lot smarter than most people will ever know.
It’s not the MSM arrows or the speeches or platitudes or anything else. All that is normal politics.
It’s the worshipping freepers starting inane vanity threads like this. And the ensuing ankle biting when people point that out.
