Last Wednesday night Sarah Palin really took it to Barack Obama. She showed us why her nickname is Baracuda. All the GOPers in the house were fired up and ready to go. Next stop for Sarah Palin has to be one of the Sunday morning talk shows. She will be right there to tell America why John McCain is the best man to be our next president. Barack Obama will be on Sunday morning and so will Biden and McCain so where will Sarah be? Not meeting the press. Why? She had plenty to say Wednesday…oh that was a speech written by others. On the morning shows you have to respond on the spot and I guess the Baracuda is not ready for “unscripted” prime time.
Great analysis. Thanks!
I like Sarah Palin. She is sincere and full of energy. But she is woefully misinformed.
No sex education! Whoops! Teenager has a baby!
Shouldn’t that be a clue?
Brother-in-law is harassing her sister. Palin pulls strings to get him fired. Is that going too far?
Doesn’t like some of the books in the local library. She asks the librarian if she would mind removing certain books. The librarian indicates she will not tolerate censorship. Palin gets her fired.
The common thread here is the self-appointed assumption that what I (Palin) decide is better for you than what you decide. Ohh, that smacks of totalitarianism! Too bad it hasn’t worked, doesn’t work, and won’t work in the future. Most amazing of all (and tragic) is that some people don’t like to think for themselves. They are mentally lazy, and oh-so willing to let others make these crucial decisions for them. You could see hoards of these mindless drones waving flags and cheering her at the Republican Convention.
Reminds of the Stockholm syndrome. The captives after a while begin to idolize their kidnappers. “I’m going to restrict what you can say and do, but trust me, this will be good for you!” Yeah! Pit-bull with lipstick!
(And the crowd goes wild!)

Since all political leader (both parties) have speach writers, I say “so what!” And as an independent moderate, she delivered it that night. On the other hand, her delivery was way off at the small Wisconsin town on Friday. Bottom line, who wrote the speach is a non-issue for me.
On the other hand, I like our question wondering why she been shielded by the press. I’m sure everyone has an opinion, but the truth is we don’t know – but that’s why it is such a good question.
Nice post.
