Our Entire Political Establishment Has Failed

This is what is driving Palin. Reagan had to win the Cold War, and pushed to get the government off our backs, but we are at a worse crossroads.

So that is why I take in the cautionary words from NY and DC, but this is uncharted territory. Americans will make a considered decision:

that character is more important than personality, that education isn't the same thing as judgment, and that expertise without common sense is dangerous.

It is early days for 2012. We have a midterm first. Some candidates will meet the approval of voters, some not.

But everyone has to prove themselves from scratch.
