A Clear and Present Danger To the American Left

She could become a transformative political presence.

So they are going to have to kill her, and kill her quick.

And it's going to be brutal. It's already getting there.

There are only two questions.

1. Can she take it?

Will she be rattled? Can she sail through high seas? Can she roll with most punches and deliver some jabs herself?

2. And while she's taking it, rolling with it and sailing through, can she put herself forward convincingly as serious enough, grounded enough, weighty enough that the American people can imagine her as vice president of the United States?

I suppose every candidate for vice president faces these questions to some degree, but because Palin is new, unknown, and a woman, it's all much more so.

IABR has not gotten too involved with the presidential race per se, but Sarah Palin has gotten our attention. The Dems are scared s**tless of her and are attacking with all guns a'blazin' . We like her for this even if we don't agree with her on other issues. Peggy Noonan offers some insights.
