Palin and Romney will start duking it out for 2012 on November 5. I have nothing particularly good to say about the ideas of either one, but they are your front-runners already.
Sarah Palin is about the best public speaker in the spectrum right now. Her commuication skills are sensational. She can deliver a speech and connect with an audience with the best of them. This is a theatre forum. Certainly anyone who logs on to this site has to use their own show biz savvy to see that Palin has quite a bit of star-power of her own.
She was dealt a losing hand from the start. She was/is an uninformed small-state politician who had no resources when she was handed this prize. But I think she learns quickly and will be a formidable and dangerous force in the future. (I also hope that I am wrong about that.) She has no real intellect, but is instinctive and sometimes those instincts are very good.
McCain's camp is now trying to "blame" her for the coming GOP rout. Leave it to a bunch of guys to blame the woman. (Ask any woman in a high position if that is not too often the case. Palin is getting blamed for the 150G wardrobe when she didn't buy it.) God forbid that McCain et al, realize that she ought never to have been offered the VP slot to begin with. Palin was a 'loser' this time around from the get-go.
She may be a diva and her ideas reek of being ill-formed, but a wack-job? Hardly.
McCain and company are far, far higher up on the wacko list at least for the time being.
