Barone believes that Palin could generate a GOTV effort that may wind up rivaling that of Barack Obama

On another thread, Allah assures us that high turn out amongst Republicans is a given this year, so we don’t need to worry about GOTV.

Who’s right?

Barone is one of the good guys. He always plays it straight down the middle, they way Olbermann does only in his dreams.

Ed.

I popped in here after watching the Convention, and I must say, this was the cherry on the sundae. What a quality interview. Congratulations.

With gratitude,

How come Michael Barone gets it and:

Charles Krauthammer: letters@charleskrauthammer.com

David Frum: dfrum@aei.org

Ben Stein: buellermail@aol.com.

And George Will: georgewill@washpost.com

Do not. I love Krauthammer, Frum, Stein and Will, but come on guys at least give Governor Palin a chance. I liked what she said. What’s not to like?

Jeez, I would even welcome Ben Stein as Sec. of Treasury.

Ed, Kudos!
What a catch, and a great interview.
And thanks to Michael Barones for sharing his time with HotAir.

(Good thing you’d read his article before eating and meeting, that really seemed to break the ice.)

That was really good, Ed. Barone makes several excellent points. The speechwriter thing that Obama et al. are complaining about is especially rich. Perhaps it would have been better if Palin used Neil Kinnock?

Yes it was Michael Medved, and he was quite gracious at me hogging the courtesy booth for Salem hosts for this interview. Michael is as nice as he seems on the air, a real pleasure.

Michael Barone compares Sarah Palin to Theodore Roosevelt…

…. and for more reasons than the fact that Theodore Roosevelt also knew how to field-dress a moose (video)…….

He knows just how well Palin played with the hicks that have been wavering.

Barone is right – she smiles as she slips the knife in. Keep going, Sarah – nail them all!!
