I like Palin for a number of reasons.
First, she is not afraid to speak her mind.
Second, she is the epitome of grace under fire.
Third, she does not apologize for her brand of conservatism.
Fourth, she does not backslide or pack pedal from her core beliefs and values.
Ev,
Ironically, you left out the most important point..
Sarah is everyman, er, everywoman. She’s not a Hahhvahhd grad, she didn’t leave college and become a politician. She and her husband have done real jobs, raised kids without (illegal alien) child care / governesses.
We desperately need to flush the professionals, the arrogant elites from our system and install more of US in our leadership.
