The problem is, the public will never know this. As it is, it becomes one more example of her supposed idiocy.
The solution is Governor Palin can talk about our history - planned and more articulately than in that brief comment about Revere. As part of her campaign, I hope to hear her quote Paul Revere's letter, explain its context, and link that event to the current battle over our God-given right to keep and bear arms. Palin has what it takes to turn this media tempest to her advantage. I just pray that she will run so that she has a chance to prove me right (or wrong).
