Juneau What's The Capital of Alaska?

She's angry. She's feisty. She's unafraid to attack. She'd probably make a fine President. And that's the truth.

But Hillary Clinton didn't get the nomination. Now, the Democrats can see the chance they lost by playing it safe, like they always do at the exact wrong time. With Hillary as VP no one has ever heard of Sarah Palin and the Republicans have difficulty attacking for the same reasons the Democrats will now have to overcome.

Governor Snowmobile is seriously lightweight, but Plotnik thinks so because Plotnik already thought so. He, like millions of other Obama supporters, have got to stop with the Palin jokes and start realizing what she taps into.

Patriotism? Not so much. Republicans are no more or less patriotic than Democrats and everybody knows it.

Gender? Nah. Republican women will love her, Democrat women won't. Her positions are beloved by Conservatives and despised by Liberals and that was the same before anyone ever heard of her.

Nope. What she's got is Anger with a Capital A. This woman is your cousin from Colorado, your sister in Mississippi, your Aunt in Indiana. She's your gym teacher. She's your friend who never stops talking about conspiracies. She's your brother's best friend in Texas who sends you all those long email strings about Obama being a Muslim.

She might be Harry Truman. She might be.

But she also might be Pat Nixon. Just because you're pissed off at the New York Times doesn't mean you're right.

With the exception of pie, she is suspicious of everything you treasure. When Joe Biden asks her "Who is the President of Iran?" she will be able to say "Here's what I do know: I love America." 49% of the people in America will applaud her for that while an equal number have their jaws drop to the ground in dismay.

But above all: she's furious. This is good for an attack candidate. We buy cars and choose presidents on first glances.

A lot of this is sour grapes. Plotnik wishes she was on our side.

The truth is that Plotnik guesses 80% of America feels the way Governor Palin does, but politicians usually don't like to talk about it. She couldn't care less. This is her job. And she's not faking.

Plotnik likes Sarah Palin. It's Republicans who infuriate him, because they have the stone-cold gall to infer that they and only they speak for our country's core values. Like lying to the American people to declare war on a far away country and bankrupt ourselves in the process. Whose core value is that?

Anyway, Governor Palin may speak for a lot of people. One thing's for sure: she attacked the media, and they don't like that. If she's got a skeleton hanging in her closet it will come back to life soon, arms and hips swinging.
