I think this is a smart move for her. I think that she can do a whole lot more from the sidelines than with running. Why? Because she would have to overcome the media narrative for her intelligence in order to win, and that would be difficult. Impressions stick, and as long as the media [...]
Americans expect more from women. It’s not enough to be bright or have the ability to multi-task. We also expect them to look good. Ann Althouse took this us with the image above (click to see article) in a discussion about a series of statements Rush Limbaugh made about whether the American people would like [...]
What is the pulse of the culture? Where is it going? What are the trends? It is on Thursdays we’ll tackle some of the big issues of living in today’s society. We’ll talk about leaders and those that influence what is going on around us. We’ll talk about cultural trends and whether or not they’re [...]
What’s next for former Governor Sarah Palin? I’m not sure that even she knows the answer to that question. Obviously she needed to get into a position where she could make enough money to defend herself. And regardless of what you think of her, this whole episode of resignation was an interesting exercise in what [...]
I don’t think that Gov. Sarah Palin has a good chance of getting anywhere close to the White House. Don’t get me wrong, from what I’ve seen of her policies and passion I believe that she could have been a great Vice President, but some of the things that are happening are colluding to make [...]
Did you hear that Gov. Sarah Palin thought that Africa was a country?
Many of you know that I have struggled with the idea of Gov. Palin being Vice President from a Scriptural side of concept. I personally believe that God has chosen—by His will, for His own reasons—to create man first, and to use this as the basis for leadership (in the home, in the church, and [...]
I guess I still don’t get it. Why is it that we’re still getting treated from stories, both in the MSM and from the McCain camp, that bill Gov. Palin as unqualified to take the Presidency, and we’re supposed to take that at face value when compared to the relative inexperience of Sen. Obama? Why [...]
I’m trying to remember without misappropriating my memories, but I do believe this has been the oddest election season ever. The election of 2000 was strange, surreal even, but I don’t remember the lead-up being so bizarre. Although I do love politics, I don’t have much time for it until it comes down to the [...]
Just one week before the election, and it’s wild what we find ourselves talking about: Obama Campaign We’re told by the MSM that Sen. Obama has shifted to making less partisan “closing arguments” (like the lawyer he is) to try to seal the deal and finish ahead.
Over the weekend we were treated to a storyline I saw coming—namely, the McCain camp setting up Gov. Palin to take the fall should their campaign fail to win the election. This wasn’t a hard shot to call—by no means—for from the moment that Sen. McCain won the nomination back in the spring we were [...]
Palintology: the study of the making and menacing of the public perception of Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin has been Borked. Look up “Robert Bork” if you aren’t old enough to remember his time in the nation’s spotlight. It is fascinating to me that when Sarah Palin first came on the scene, the initial response was [...]
People Magazine had another interview with Gov. Sarah Palin and her husband Todd—and it was very friendly—but I really liked the answer to the last question: People: Can you go home again and just be an Alaskan? Sarah: I can always go home again and just be Mom and be perfectly happy and fulfilled with [...]
Some in the media would have you believe that Gov. Sarah Palin has no idea the job duties of the position she is running for. In order to highlight this supposed deficit, they focus on a satirical video that was taken quite a while ago, but when that didn’t work, they decided to focus on [...]
There have been many interesting moments in this 2008 election campaign. From the moment that Sen. McCain won New Hampshire and there was a battle between Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton for the Democrat nomination—that was so close that Rush Limbaugh decided that he had a chance to get involved and make a difference in [...]
