I agree that Sarah is great, and that she has been unfairly and dishonestly characterized. Dan Quayle is not the person that most believe him to be, either, but he never overcame it. I just don’t have a sense of how badly Sarah is damaged outside our hard core of conservative believers. I hope she can overcome it.
Yes - I think we are on the same page.
Sarah has a lot more appeal than Dan Quayle. She can fire up a crowd & make them feel like she's one of them. Quayle was a good man - but very low key.
As far as those outside of hard core conservatives - we have to remember that any of our conservative choices will face the same demeaning press from the left.
My hope is that by the time we get through 4 years of Obamanation - there will be many willing to change their minds. If Sarah continues to govern in a conservative way - add to her broad knowledge - I think she will be a shoo in with that record to run on.
