The Palin Effect Hits New York?

Sarah Palin is unlike any politician we have seen for a very long time, if ever.  She is a people’s politician and believes in middle America, more than the powers that be.  She is a self-made woman who owes nobody, except God and family, for where she is today.  So many Americans are drawn to her solely due to her genuineness and her bond with working Americans.  She doesn’t speak using erudite and urbane words, fancy rhetoric that contains no substance – no,  she just speaks in a simple fashion, right to the heart of America.

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette writes:

President Barack Obama is, by far, the most popular politician in America. And there is little doubt who is No. 2.

That many liberals found Mr. Letterman’s remarks humorous speaks not only to their depravity, but to their fear. The 20,000 who turned out to see Ms. Palin in Auburn testify to the fact that she strikes a responsive chord with ordinary people no other Republican does.

Liberals and some Beltway conservatives assert Ms. Palin is stupid. She frequently is misquoted — most recently by Dan Balz in The Washington Post Wednesday — to make her appear so.

But I’d say she got the better of it in her exchange with David Letterman. And her brief walk across the stage at the GOP dinner Monday drew more attention than Mr. Gingrich’s stem-winding speech. For someone who, according to the Washington cognoscenti, doesn’t know what she’s doing, she’s doing pretty well.

I don’t think Sarah Palin has decided whether she’d like to live in the White House. But if she does, ignoring the conventional wisdom in Washington may be the best way to get there.

Palin drew a crowd of over 20,000 people in Auburn, a small democratic town, in New York.  I do not recall any other “failed” vice presidential candidate still receiving this much attention and still shown this much support from regular folks.

Upon her departure to Washington, D.C., Monday, two New York senate Democrats filibustered with the Republicans, and switched sides.  Of course you cannot tie the event directly to Sarah Palin, but the move after her visit, is definitely considerable.  She was also ridiculed by David Letterman for her visit to New York, which even included a fund-raising event for an Autism Walk.  Liberals seem to do all that they can to destroy this woman and use the most vile, despicable, and non-substantive attacks against her.

Letterman’s sexist, misogynistic remarks against Governor Palin and her daughter(s) were heard around the world.  A New York lawmaker has called on Letterman to step down.  It’s incredible, that of all places, New York is standing up for the Governor.

She has set off a loyal army of support around the nation and a petition has been created to fire David Letterman, as well as a campaign to write to the CBS/David Letterman sponsors to cease their sponsorship or be boycotted by former consumers.  It will be interesting how this all breaks down.

And on a final note, Sarah Palin must be doing something right, hell even froze over, NOW, the National Organization for Women (or as I like to refer to them as, the Nauseating Obama Women), who have never so much as batted an eye when sexist remarks or unfounded attacks have been made against conservative women, have officially come out in support of Palin and have put Letterman into their Hall of Shame.  I’m flabbergasted!
