Add specificity to her list of weaknesses...
...if it wasn't there already. Here's a new video released by Sarah Palin that's been getting alot of press for some reason.
So, let's sum up: The "Mama Grizzlies"...
"don’t like Fundamental transformation of America" (as evidenced by...?)
"these policies coming out of D.C." (for example...?)
"something’s wrong" (what, exactly?)
"have had enough already" (enough of ...what?)
"we’re gonna do something about it" or "this" (what or what)
"turn this thing around, get our country back on the right track," (what thing? track toward what?)
"get things done for our country" (what things done and how?)
"banding together, rising up, saying no this isn’t right for our kids and our grandkids" (what isn't right?)
"speaking out for common sense solutions" (and those solutions would be..?)Now, if talking and talking and talking without saying anything is a political art, she must be Michaelangelo. And if you are thinking, "Oh, this is just a single video. I'm sure the rest of the website has answers to the questions you pose." Nope. Go
take a look. It's a joke. I literally could have put it together during the commercial breaks of an episode of Louie (Tuesdays at 10 on FX - hilarious, but very blue). She addresses no specific problems, offers no specific solutions, and describes no methods to execute said solutions. It's a brilliant idea if you can somehow get away with it, but then, how exactly does she do that? The video's vapidness is glaring to me; am I an astute political mind? As Chris Matthews says, "HA!!" There is one line in the video that offers a spark of honesty - "No matter what it takes." - even if "it takes" using vague assertions and empty platitudes to appeal to the lowest common denominator so as to put a staggeringly unqualified empty suit (dress?) in a position of supreme executive power._______________________________________________________________
Also, as a part-time student of animal behavior, I would like to point out that a female grizzly protects her cubs only because they are carriers of her genes. Moreover, if a male attacks and kills her cubs, she will proceed to mate with that same grizzly so as to produce new genetic carriers. It's all about gene propagation, you know.

I just read "Game Change" about the 2008 Presidential election (quick, interesting read). Among many revelations in the book, one of the scariest was the process used to "vet" her--in other words, to determine her qualifications. By all accounts, it was an absolute joke and would've been the case even for cabinet positions, let alone for someone who would've been a 72-year-old man's heartbeat away from the presidency of the U.S. On the plus side, it's unlikely she'll ever change anybody else's mind. She has her following, but she's not the kind who's likely to win converts.
