re: #175 Obdicut

Given that you’re ‘slightly liberal’, and Palin is regressively, atavistically conservative, why do you like her?

Well first of all, as the Time cover story pointed out recently, she wasn’t always a right winger. it’s regrettable how far to the right she’s gone, but if you notice it’s very rarely on social issues. you’ll see her move back to the center after she gets the nomination. at her core she’s just someone who fights the entrenched interests. in Alaska it was the oil companies and the republican/murkowski establishment. and she got results, making her the most popular governor in America at the time. I can’t wait to see what she does in Washington.
