I have wondered if she has her own personal Charles Schlesinger to write stuff for her- simply because it is so good.
Jurys still out but the style seems to be right in line and consistent with her off the cuff speaking and in person she sure seems to be able handle un rehearsed intellectual heavy lifting so I think it's probably her for real.
If not she sure knows how to pick the right talented advisers and listen to them which is even more important than writing ability.
Sarah has the all political talent of Bill Clinton with none of the dysfunction. She is one of the best natural politicians of her generation.
Yeah, she’s a girl.
How could she be that smart?
Sarah Palin’s degree is in journalism.
Sarah has a degree in journalism. I know a little journalism myself. What she has done with her degree is world class, Pulitzer material.
I’m a big Palin supporter, and I believe she does have Rebecca Mansour on staff for some of her writing—which is good and appropriate and the standard for pols writing such pieces and giving major speeches. Anyone who has followed Palin knows already that she has a steel-trap mind of her own, with a rare talent for getting to and grasping the core of an issue almost immediately. Further, she has a rare ability to boil it down and communicate it such that the common person can immediately grasp it as well. Those are just two bits to her extraordinary political talent IMO.
Is it sexist that the question of a writer only seems to come up with Palin? Yeah, probably.
That companies are pressured to pay protection money to both parties, weighted in difference by who’s in power, is not news—but it is an important piece in understanding our corrupt system.
