  1. Rubio is great–but of course he will be tarred soon enough as a dope by the Park Slope crowd.

    By blowfish on November 2, 2010 12:30 PM, would you admit that Ronald Reagan was an intellectual? That’s the baseline. If you can’t, then your assessment of Palin has no credibility.

  2. I’ll say this about Palin.
    I’ve been watching her on the campaign
    trail recently and she seems to be getting
    alot more polished and contemplative in her
    interviews.
    She seems to be learning and quite quickly.

    If she’s planning on a Presidential run,
    she needs to read a few presidential
    biographies and more on history. I’m sure
    she’s being tutored day and night.

    To dismiss her as “anti-intellectual”
    is to miss her power.
    She is powerful precisely because she taps
    into the spirit of American individualism.
    This is very powerful, Reagan had that too.
    And she does have an ability to connect
    in speech which makes her that much more
    potent. Hillary, does not have either of those
    two traits, just to give an example of a
    “Left” Presidential hopeful.

  3. Legion, my friend;

    I have not been paying attention to Marco Rubio until recently. Have you seen the video he produced for his campaign? It literally moved me to tears when he recounts what this country means to him, as the child of immigrants who came from an oppressive regime.

    I hear talk that he has the potential to be the “Hispanic Ronald Reagan”.

    That would be great.

  4. cobble–without question Sarah Palin is my least favorite politician to come on the scene since Reagan. I feel confident in saying that she thinks opposite to me in practically every measurable issue or attitude. And yet, I agree that it only strengthens her when we spazz out with demeaning names to refer to her. We don’t need to prove her point for her that all of us librul elites are out to get her. She will do a plenty good job of making an ass out of herself if she does run for the Presidency.
