There is something about Sarah!

You can't pick up a newspaper or magazine, surf the Internet or watch a TV talking heads show --- without the conversation turning to Governor Sarah Palin. Whether it's good or bad, praising or bashing, her she is ever present in out daily lives.

I don't reckon y'all have been waiting with bated breath to hear my take on this feminine force-field, but since this is my Blog - I think I'll share my thoughts and you can choose whether to read them , and more to the point, whether to agree or disagree with them.

No matter what an American's politics are, everybody knows Sarah Palin! Her name recognition numbers are higher than the Speaker of the House, ole' Botox Face, or the Senate Majority Leader, you know - that whiny little dude in glasses. Her approval numbers on the right side of the political spectrum rival Obamanation's on the far left,

She is only 46 years old, and yet has the political resume of a much older person - being the youngest governor in the history of Alaska will do that for you. She is a best selling author who draws more crowds at a book store in Peoria than watch Katy Couric on the evening news. Or Chris Mathews all week! That's all part of the good news!

The bad news is that for good or for bad, Palin is a lightning rod for both the nanny state loving left, and the 'moderate, pencil necked, pocket protector wearing' RINO population of the right. She walked away from her Governorship just to prevent the Alaskan ship of state from being under a constant state of siege. And of course, to free herself up to fight back! And fighting back she is!

Now then - what's next for this lady dynamo? In my not so humble opinion, I think Palin is going to be on the political radar for years to come - no wisp in the wind, she! Although she hasn't seen fit to share her plans with Ole Pecoz, I expect a scenario about as follows. It may be wishful thinking on my part - but what the hey!!

In football, in many passing plays there is a designated receiver and a DECOY receiver. The decoy receiver makes many suggestive and anticipatory moves while the actual planned receiver runs a quiet steady route down field. While the defense keeps their eye on the decoy, the designated receiver remains on the periphery and makes the catch and the 1st down yardage or score.

Sarah Palin will make an excellent decoy runner for the Republican Party these next three years. She will shine on the talk circuit, zig over to support a lagging candidate, zag over to raise funds for the party, and continue to be a mother and wife at the same time. All the time building points within and outside her party, and it's Tea Party supporters. She will not announce her non-candidacy for the presidential nomination until the last possible minute simply because that would take the laser arrows of the main stream media and the left off of her and onto the Party's nominee. I 'spect I know who that's gonna be - but that's for another day.

Now then, if the Republican candidate wins in 2012, and it will take an 'O' miracle for that not to happen - she will accept a Cabinet level job, either Interior, Energy, or Education to build her resume and because it's in her nature to want to contribute to this great country. In 2016, Governor Palin will be only 52, in 2020 - just 56!!

Margaret Thatcher lost her first couple of elections in 1950 - and had to grow and learn. She became the first female Prime Minister England in 1979 at the age of 54. Sarah Palin won her early elections and became the youngest and first female Governor of Alaska in 2006, when she was only 42.

You can take it to the bank Pilgrims, the first female President of the United States will be former Governor, Sarah Palin in 2016 or 2020!

Lightning rod be damned!!
