I believe the Presidency is a popularity contest. Obama will no longer be new nor is he an endearing personality. Bill Clinton is a true natural charmer and was running amid a massive boom. Obama will have $5 gasoline, which he will use as a prop to lecture us on our evil energy consuming ways, and a poor economy.

Contrast that to a Palin campaign which will be a national revival meeting, with promises to get the government out of the way of prosperity, to drill for oil here, and a return to helping our allies and thwarting our enemies.

Those who dare win.

I think those on our side despair too much, too soon. The Democrats are running out of kitchen sinks to throw at Sarah, and they mostly bounce off having done no harm anyway. By the time she wins Iowa, attacking her will be passé; she will be the comeback kid.

Huckabee is the closest thing we have to Biden, he can be Veep, you know, to balance the ticket so all the RINOs can justify voting for her.
