Is Sarah Palin Good Or Is She Lucky?
Is Sarah Palin good or is she lucky? That is the question being asked by will45 at NewsFlavor. How to tell if it is luck: Once is happenstance. Ten times? I think an attack by superior forces is in progress. Cross Posted at Power and Control posted by Simon on 11.17.10 at 06:16 PM

Here's one vote for smart. And massively underrated due to class prejudice (of the intelligentsia and pseudo-), an overwhelmingly hostile press, and some stupid McCain campaign decisions. The real evidence for smart is how she's learned from her early blunders of inexperience, from which the McCain campaign failed to protect her. If you're going to pick her for your VP, because (as he said at the time) you're a gambler, then you need to know how to play your doggone hand! It continues to amaze me, btw, that people (such as in the article cited) keep talking about the "lie" of death panels, when every intellectually honest advocate of nationalized health care admits that it involves rationing. "Death panel" was just a way more politically effective -- i.e., smarter -- term than, say, "man-caused disaster" as a euphemism for terrorism. DJ · November 19, 2010 01:39 PM I should have said: one more vote for smart. Well put in the OP, Simon. DJ · November 19, 2010 01:41 PM I promise to stop multiple posting...after this one. I'm just catching up on my Classical Values reading -- it's been a long week! -- and am embarrassed to see that Eric made exactly my last point (about "death panels") just a few posts ago, re Krugman. Let me also recall that famous Newsweek cover, "The Case for Killing Granny." And yet the hapless writer linked in the OP, and "smart" Palin-haters everywhere, keep saying things like: Proof of her influence was shown when she went out and falsely stated that the new health care reform would have death panels, and as ridiculous as that may sound now millions of other wise [sic] rational Americans believed her. And: This is a woman who believed that being able to see Russia from her house counted as foreign policy experience. Which is almost right....except that it was Tina Fey who said that.
