Get used to saying "President Palin." It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? My advice to Palin is to ignore progressives, just as Barack Obama ignored conservatives. She's not going to get their votes, and, despite the antipathy they have for her, they each have only one vote. Conservatives already love Palin, so she should focus almost exclusively on moderates, who put Obama in office in 2008 and can put Palin in office in 2012. As for content, Palin should discuss primarily economic issues. (It's the economy, stupid!) She needs to explain, the way Ronald Reagan did, that free markets are the path to prosperity and governmental regulation the path to destitution. Palin is much more articulate than either George W. Bush or John McCain. She's smart, articulate, witty, and feisty. I don't know how anyone can look at her or listen to her and not want her in the White House, leading this great country. Her campaign slogan should be "Putting America first—again."
Addendum: Here is the latest case of Palin Derangement Syndrome. Remember what I said several months ago: The degree to which Sarah Palin is attacked by progressives is the degree to which she is feared. I hope the attacks continue, for that means her electoral strength is increasing.
