Many here on PWI and elsewhere - Repubs, Dems, Independents and whatevers WOULD rather have the “typical smooth talking bullshitter.” They really would.
Didn’t we hear this same line from the Bush W. supporters during his run?
‘He sounds like me!’
‘It’s kinda’ nice to hear someone talk like us for once.’
‘He seems like the sort of guy you could go have a beer or two with.’
No matter what you think of Bush, history repeating itself is generally never a good thing (where the State and politics is concerned).
That won’t work in this instance; you’ll get no traction with this attempted comparison. There is simply no way to compare the middle class, relatively humble upbringing of Palin with the silver spoon upbringing of Bush. Palin represents a cross section of America (not counting the Left Coast and urban Northeasters) far better than Bush ever did.
Read their respective biographies if you think differently.
Touche.
Edit: I guess my jaded ego got the better of me on this one.
Well, she definitely represents a cross section of Montanans far better than the following ever did either:
Obama
Bush II
Clinton
Bush I
Reagan
Carter
Ford
Nixon
Johnson
Kennedy
Eisenhower
Truman (maybe Truman)
FDR
Hoover
Coolidge
Harding
Taft
Teddy
McKinley
Cleveland
Harrison
Before Harrison, Montana wasn’t a state so I won’t continue.

If she represents Montana, then that’s not a compliment to Montana citizens.
