Wonks come off knowledgeable. Sarah doesn’t always do so, and I LOVE Sarah. If she has no room for growth in your or anyone else’s eyes, you have another self-proclaimed Messiah, not a leader.
Newt is a typical policy wonk. He is brilliant in his depth and breadth of history and policy issues. But what he isn;t, is an inspiring conservative leader. Sarah is. Sure she has room to grow and learn and I think she has demonstrated that she is doing just that - staring with her economic speech in Asia.
But the Krauthammers of the world will never acknowledge her growth because they have an agenda and that agenda is to bring her down.
