The thing we keep missing with Sarah Palin, is the fact that she is a good communicator, especially to the working class. They have faith and trust in
her. She knows her demographic well.
If she waits until the media go a little too far and make a sexist comment, it will, in itself propel her into the lead.
Her values and principles may not appeal to everyone, but she sticks to them, she lives them and breathes them.
She may not be of genius level intelligence, but looking at the history of US presidents, was that ever a consistent formula for change?
I also agree about the obvious predjudice regarding her gender. I mean, if you had asked me 10 years ago, out of a white woman and a black man, which
would get to be president first, I would have answered the white woman everytime.
After Obama getting in, it throws the spotlight on gender. I think the old boys in Washington will pull out all the stops to ensure a woman doesn't
slip into that position, through media, they already have.
If you follow the Gallup polls, then the moment Sarah Palin announces her intention to run for president, she will fly into the lead. That says
something....
I live in the United Kingdom, I know quite a bit about Sarah Palin through the media exposure that she receives, I know nothing of the other
candidates, as I know very little about Obama, other than the fact that he gained his presidency through deception.
Do not underestimate that level of name recognition. "There's no such thing as bad publicity" It holds true here for Sarah, the more people become
aware of her, even for negative reasons, the more popular she will become.
