Perhaps never before in American history have two individuals so captured the hearts, minds and imaginations of such a wide proportion of the citizenry as have Sarah Palin and Barack Obama. Both are charismatic, charming in their own ways, in dramatic, stand-above-the-crowd fashion. Both have written best-selling autobiographies, which have mesmerized large swaths of the American public.There, however, the similarities end.One has been adored by the leftist-activist media brigade, which gleefully tossed away its fabled “objectivity†in order to get the candidate with whom it was both in love and in sync elected. The other has been veritably loathed by the same Ivy League-centric mandarin class which long ago forsook its working-class roots and is now actively ashamed of them.One represents academic elitism. The other comes from a standard state university background.One uses a teleprompter for nearly every spoken word, often flailing, repeating sentences due to electronic glitches and mispronouncing even those words that seem simple to the average American.The other uses a few broad-topic scribbles on her hand for prompts.One is the darling of Hollywood; the other is the butt of crass celebrity jokes.Pundits see this pair in purely political dimension of left vs. right.What we have here, however, is far, far more fundamental than a left vs. right spectacle, performed by two adroit representatives.It’s far more meaty than the little tit for tats among the leftist literati and their adversaries, the conservative commoners.No, what we have here are two philosophies fighting to the death for the soul of America, each represented by one phenomenal public figure.
Runs Sarah, run.
I'd like to see her run... as long as she wears those shorts from the Runner's World picture shoot and I run behind her
