Gravitas- “It may be translated variously as weight, seriousness, dignity, or importance, and connotes a certain substance or depth of personality.”
She resigned as Governor - she let them back her down. She has a mother’s heart and is vulnerable. She needs to be able to feel the pain and yet continue on unwaivering on the course that she has set as a leader.
We’ve learned from Obama that just some politician can’t do the job. It has to be someone with Executive experience who can keep a firm hand on the rudder of his administration’s ship of state. It can’t be someone who allows themselves to be handled. It has to be someone who can set aside ego and emotional attachments and make huge life and death decisions as our commander in chief. It has to be someone who can keep a firm upper hand in diplomacy like Bibi Netanyahu.
I love what Sarah has to say. She is full of energy and can rally an enthusiastic team, but I don’t think she is seasoned enough to be able to make the brutal decisions she would be called upon tio make as President. She’s just not a heavyweight.
As for the other candidates in the field. Well I am still looking. Haven’t found any that fit the bill yet.
You just described Governor Palin to a T.
Those lawsuits were nuisance suits designed to destroy her and her family, since by State Law anyone could file such a suit for any reason, and she was required to defend ALL of them out of her own pocket: and the press uniformly reported "Palin in hot water again on ethics charges" but never her vindication.
