Palin

I was as shocked as anyone when Sarah Palin resigned as Alaskan governor yesterday afternoon although the actions of any celebrity (political or not) should never surprise anybody. The rumors were flying rampant on the internet including such gems as 'was she really pregnant with Trig", is she prego again, was she actualluy the Latina mistress of Mark Sanford.

The Republican party has 5 makor issues today

- their family values messages keeps getting derailed by the governors who can't keep their pants on and ones playing footsy in men's rooms
- the concept of fisically conservative does not resonate when all you cannot commit yourself to not spending
- the southstrategy courting the evangelicals has turned the party of an inclusive one to one which non-evangelicals have a hard time connecting with.
- leadership. With Bush gone there is a vacuum for a person to step up as the head of the party which leads to point 5
- except for Palin all their potential candidates are dull and lack charisma

Palin represented the best and worst chances for the republican party in 2012. She is incredinly stupid and completely incompetent to be POTUS but she was the only Republican with charisma. As these republican governors and senators who have been considered early canidates for the rebulican ticket and they al have one thing in common (and I am not talking about cheating on their wives) that thing is that they are all increbibly dull. They do not connect with the American people, they have all become carbon copies of each other.
