I love Palin and I love Steele for their values and for the sacrifices they make personally to share and promote those (i.e. my) values. And it would be naive not to recognize identitiy politics, and their value in attracting those votes or at least undermining the left’s female and black demagogues. BUT, after watching countless interviews and excerpts of each, I have never been able to view either as being able to take on the MSM successfully. Steele is much better at pounding the message, but Sarah never seems able to get the message off of her.
