Sounds like Sarah has a good grasp of the situation as a whole to me. At least way better than the liarinchief.

It’s interesting you bring up the rock band analogy because I consider her to be the political equivalent of Led Zeppelin.
Her resignation was their break up in 1980.
The fans -both sets- simply didn’t and will not accept the absence of their heroes.

When Zeppelin announced their O2 concert back then, 20 million people tried to get tickets.
And it rocked the rock world.
And people want more.

Sarah Palin is like that. She’s rocking the political world, and the demand for her will tip the Richter scales over.
I’m not saying she’s going to run for POTUS, but it’ll be HUGE if she does.

What Sarah Palin said in her HK speech was a best outline of foreign policy for America … taking into full consideration of what’s really going on domestically here in America.

It was a polished outline. Outline, Yes. There are many ways on how that excellent world view from main-street America can eventually be implemented in a credible way … that people around the world will see America as a real partner for growth and peace … not an imperialistic America as many far left organizations working abroad have been promoting in the last 8 years.

So, Lowry can’t say anything else. He has to accept that this is an excellent piece.

But of course, Lowry will never say that the Speech is really a “brilliant” world view from a person outside the beltway. If he does, it will end his bromance with Romney.

Lowry is a lot of things – including a voice of the stodgy conservative establishment – but his having difficultly immediately processing the politics of “death panels” and instead playing the pre-assigned role of doubter doesn’t distinguish him greatly from a lot of other people whom the Palinists, if ever successful, will have to get on their side.

Daffyd ab Hugh in his other current GR piece on Sarah reminds us of Shultz and Regan and their skepticism about Reagan: It was a drama played out many times during the Reagan years, and in the careers of other political naturals, who from time to time have to follow their own signals and ignore the voices trying to tell them what can and cannot be done.

Lowry is an idiot. He attacked Palin on death panels. Just remember if Lowry was the voice of “common sense” death panels would never have come into the english language.

I’m surprised myself the NRO even mentioned the speech. You can tell alot from which blogs mentioned Palin’s speech and which did not.

A masterful job painting a picture of her controlled strategy to manage the hype. I like the rockband analogy also, though it also unintentionally acknowledges her rockstyle appeal.

As the Obama omnipresence is showing media overkill is not the way to go, you want a balance of substance and allure.
