Palin’s speech –there was no code, no sign language sending “this is our propaganda line” signals. She played each note clearly and head-on. And with a smile. No mush. No symphonic wall of synthetic sound as in Denver. A concert piano recital instead. No place to hide, no need to hide, nothing to hide.

2012, Palin/Jindal –radical, radical, not a male caucasion in sight. Like the American system of government –radically renewable.

And both of them brainy, non-celebrity, highly practical policy people who are GOP because that’s what –as conservative intellectuals –they should be in a two-party system. Palin/Jindal can retrieve the ‘forward America’ image –and the substance –lost (in truth or in perception), or buried by BDS, in the years since Reagan.
