The fear of real. The make believe fear the real. Resent the real. Barack Obama is a nice guy but he&#8217;s not real. You don&#8217;t know him any better today than you did six months ago. You just know that he speaks well. Can you name a friend of his? Have we seen any? That&#8217;s a very odd thing. Barack Obama and Joe Biden went down in stature. The attacks [by Sarah Palin] were not personal. They were about their achievements.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seraphicpress.com\/archives\/2008\/09\/palin_power.php\">Robert J. Avrech writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>First thing: &ldquo;Nice outfit. Really like the simple silver and black color scheme, the clean, elegant silhouette.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Karen goes: &ldquo;Beautiful.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Thank G-d we&#8217;re not being sentenced to hideous, fashion-murdering pant suits.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Sarah Palin smiles. She twinkles. She&#8217;s got that whole Northern Lights thing about her.<\/p>\n<p>The Governor of Alaska beams energy.<\/p>\n<p>Even as she twists the knife into the chimera of BO&#8217;s candidacy, she&#8217;s all country, easy-going&mdash;but there&#8217;s steel beneath that rural charm.<\/p>\n<p>She introduces her family. Her strapping husband, Todd is a union member and a snow-machine champion. No, not snow-mobile. Snow <em>machines<\/em> are, apparently, an entirely different beast.<\/p>\n<p>Who knew?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Todd&#8217;s like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0182633\/\">Sergeant Preston of the Yukon<\/a>, one of my fave shows from childhood.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You know why liberal woman hate her so much,&rdquo; I say, &ldquo;it&#8217;s because she got to where she is all by herself. Unlike Hillary, Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, they all married powerful or rich men, and then hopped aboard for the upward ride.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Yup, Governor Palin makes them look like dilettantes.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seraphicpress.com\/images\/palintoddtrig.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"385\" width=\"340\" src=\"http:\/\/www.seraphicpress.com\/images\/palintoddtrig-thumb.jpeg\" alt=\"palintoddtrig.jpeg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Governor Palin, husband Todd, and son Trig.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Governor Palin is talking about Trig, her Down syndrome son.
