The following is a comment I made to a fellow on a social network who is clearly liberal, likes Obama, and hates Bush.

I just love reading intelligent, and well written articles; I’m always envious of folks who can say it so much better than myself.

Please read this article, “The Sarah Palin Thing” by Joseph C. Phillips . It is a great analysis of what I call the ‘mystique’ surrounding Sarah Palin.

I was engaged in a political discussion with some folks at linkedin.com, and as often happens, the original topic was lost, and in one of my posts, I mentioned Ross Perot, and how his third party candidancy is probably responsible for the election of Bill Clinton.
