I think if the media stopped hyping her, her 15 would have run out long ago.
But instead of not caring, they hounded her through the courts. Which made her popular
They vetted her book harder than they vetted obama. Which made her more popular.
One of these morons moved in next door, that's stalking, if your honest. And that made her even more popular
The comedy routines, the rants on tv, etc, etc,,,, All have served to make her more and more popular.
They get like crack addicts. They just have to have it.
I pretty much agree. I remain very much a non-fan of hers. As much as I know Couric was trying to get a "gotchya" moment in her interview of Gov. Palin, I also know that asking her about which paper she regularly reads should never have been one of those questions. Asking her to name a SCOTUS decision of which she disapproved ALSO should never have turned out to have been a "gotchya" question. Gov. Palin did that to herself.
My view of her is that some of her political instincts are just fine. She seems to get the idea that we are SUPPOSED to live within the bounds of our Constitutionally LIMITED Government and that we don't come close. She's right on the money about that.
On the other hand, I see her as FAR too uninformed of matters of international relevance to American foreign policy. She should have taken a year off just to read every past issue (moving forward) and every new issue of
U.S. News and World Report. She seriously needs to get fully grounded in names, places, groups, conflicts, antagonisms, regional issues the world over. This could be time to get the kind of education from experts she is lacking.
Instead, she continues to press for name recognition. And the lib media and the libs here feed into that. I think her effort to keep her name out front is a big mistake she's making. She is not anywhere near dumb. THAT slam against her is just a liberal canard. But she does suffer from some pretty fundamental ignorance. That can be remedied. But until she does so, fully in earnest, I don't want her on any GOP ticket.
