The better question is how much of those policies has he actually followed once in office.

Erik is exhibiting his usual selective observational skills..

So, big government works, it's just he hasn't done it right. Is that the sound of backpeddling I hear, already?

Hey Michael, Eric's insinuation that Obama had his books written "for" him comes from certain conspiracy enthusiasts that William Ayers, Obama's BFF, actually wrote Faith of My Fathers.

Why in the heck would Ayers have written John McCain's book?

Alaska has led the nation in pork for ages. I wold imagine she would support it.

"would have stood with the Iranian people"

Please cite any of her foreign policy statements or papers. Do we have any idea what she reads on foreign policy besides "everything?"

Palin's economic background is weak on paper. What does she read? Any idea of what economists are influential with her? Her state functions on oi revenue and Federal monies. How will that translate into national policy?

Israel, Hamas? There are zero statements by her about any foreign policy prior to her VP run. I suspect she will follow the AIPAC position, but how would we know?

REally? How's that 'solid policy' working out for you?

Yes. You. Can.

It certainly did work out well for the man from Chicago, didn't it...

Qualified or not, are there are many out here in fly-over-country that would vote for her?

Sadly for her, most of the electoral votes to be had aren't in fly-over-country...

As for the president's strategy of "be everything to everyone" as opposed to Palin's rabid following among a particular niche...while some might be more impressed with her principals, which strategy is better to win the presidency, which is something of a popularity contest anyway...

Such contempt, unsurprisingly, did not serve her campaign well and bodes ill for her future.

Exactly right...she can sneer at community organizers and people on the coasts all she wants in her special "gee willikers" way, but that will turn off far more voters than it will impress...

Imagine if the O had all his bs was investigated like Palin...

*Cough*Tony Rezko*cough*Jeremiah Wright*cough*William Ayers*cough*...certainly these names must ring a bell...

Yet the one has been president over six months, and nobody has seen his birth certificate...

Keep chasing that whale, Ahab...

I don't recall anyone else credited for Hillary Clinton's books, either.

Try again.

You have absolutely no proof whatsoever to back up your specious insinuation...the onus is on you to try again...perhaps you could even dig up some credible sources next time...

Finally, as Ja'far typed, the real attacks on Sarah Palin will come if she is foolish enough to enter the GOP presidential primaries...everything that has ever been said about her will seem like a picnic by comparison...

PS. The folks who are blaming the left or the media for Sarah Palin's downfall is giving them way too much credit...and not enough to Palin herself.

It used to be that "personal responsibility" was a conservative trait, and "aggrieved victimhood" was a left wing trait. That so pre-Palin...

There was solid policy details behind Obama's platitudes
