I will reserve judgment on Palin until I have heard a little more. But I can't help but think that with all the media ruckus and effort to investigate her, someone perceives her as a real threat. And I can see why. Here is a charismatic frontier leader with a lot of moxy coming out of nowhere to take the world by storm...and it is a she. It is hard not to have a good impression of someone who can handle herself in the wilds, run an arctic sea fishing operation, tax the oil companies/fill the coffers, hold fellow Republicans accountable for corruption, and build a pipeline. This is not your average Pennsylvania Avenue politician. I find her an exciting addition to the race and really look forward to her convention presentation. And congratulations to the soon to be grandma!
