My theory is that although Palin was a burst of energy and a breath of fresh air in politics, her views and more importantly her level of understanding on practically any issue seem shallow and not well thought out. Some of us are complex beings with complex views, Palin is a very simple straight forward person - nice look, etc. She talks the talk - over and over again - sort of like Hannity does - it gets old quick.
Very simple people can be very boring in time, not matter how they look. I doubt that anyone, even here, looks at Palin as a teacher, someone that could teacher them something, someone that could come up with new ideas on her own to save America. Unfortunately, someone in the Republican party needs to take her on ASAP to clear the field without freaking out her followers. She simply cannot win.
I support her and disagree with your statements. However I agree that she must prove this in speeches and especially in debates if she chooses to run. The election *can* be hers but she must win it for herself. She must earn it.
Wow, the same things were said about Ronald Reagan in 1976-1980.
