So, Republicans, you’re looking for people who can serve as faces of a party on the upswing. What qualities would we want to see in such people?

Maybe these:

They’ve served in public office and have actually governed effectively.

Rather than just talking about fiscal responsibility, they’ve made it happen under their watch.

When possible, they’ve made sure the private sector would take the lead in crucial initiatives.

They’ve taken on corrupt, entrenched interests to make government more responsive to the people it serves, even when those interests were fellow Republicans.

They pull no punches in criticizing Democrats, but they do so with a positive outlook and a pleasant demeanor.

They’re not intimidated by the inevitable crap they will catch from the media, celebrities and whomever else.

They have an enthusiastic following upon which to build.

Finally, if you’ve got all of the above, it can’t hurt if you also look fantastic.

Republicans, would you like people with some or most of these qualities to be the faces of a resurgent political party? Damn right you would. Guess what. There’s one person who possesses all eight.

Sarah Palin.

Go Sarah!!!

  1. I'm sure Governor Palin is a nice person who means well, but if the Republicans want to actually have a serious chance of winning in 2012 they have to nominate someone else. I would say Tim Pawlenty or Bobby Jindall would be better choices.

    Governor Palin is more of a celebrity than a serious policy maker. I know you'll disagree with me, but really think about this one.
