I thought Sarah did a really good job. I can see that speech being honed into a great stump speech.
I really enjoyed her shots at Obama and (nobody messes with Joe) Biden.
I'm not the biggest Palin fan. I think that the blind admiration for her has turned me off. I'm a naturally suspicious guy, and I usually see the mega popular as being too good to be true.
I thoroughly agree that the Tea Party needs no leader. It is most effective when it is local, and can respond on that very basis.
My only addition is that TR did quite a bit to expand the executive's role. He really was the first progressive POTUS.
Matt, you're right! My bad. I even wrote about TR being the first president to bring his own legislative agenda to the White House the other day. I think of Woodrow Wilson as America's first dictator, so I confused the two.
Thanks for pointing that out, after another cup of coffee (or 3), I'll edit the post and correct it.
