Look. I love Palin. She's average just like me. Not an exceptionally bright person but couldn't see stupid standing on top of Mount McKinley.

The people I admire the most are, without sounding too self congratulatory, people like Sarah and I. We're smart enough to know we are not the smartest people on the planet but we are smart enough to discern right from wrong and get a job done the right way without over-thinking the situation into bankruptcy.

The problem with people like Palin (and me) is that the media and much of the Washington establishment fancy themselves as being better than us. And, I don't mean just a little better. I mean a lot. And although these 4th estate and inside the beltway types would probably score better than Sarah or I on a Mensa test, they are the very same people that got this country into the mess that it is in today and they are so smart that they don't even realize it.

I'm not saying that I wouldn't have a little bit of fear over Palin (or myself) being the President. Experience is an important leadership quality. But hell, look at the material that has held the office since Reagan. Knowing what I know about those ass hats (and I include both Bushes in that description) I'd take Palin over any of them.

R. Reagen was often referred to as just a minor, bit player B role movie actor during his presidency by the same folk who want everyone to believe Palin "I can see Russia from my house".

Experience, she has it.. except the kind you get from living on your knees sucking the leftard propaganda spigot or living on your knees as a professional political whimpering after scraps from the leftard table.

R. Reagan was just a minor bit player of a governor from some weirdo state that only had Hollywood to its fame, according to many of the same sort during his presidency.

Krauthammer is a nice guy. He can be awful smart on some issues. But, he's a Gerald Ford republican. He's plenty happy with the GOP as a second string political party just playing cleanup behind the DNC.

The media keeps telling us Palin is stupid, vapid, can't win, is unelectable. The media lies or has it's head stuck up it's intellectually inbred ass about every damn thing else, why should this be considered any damned differently?
