Sarah Palin is President Obama’s opposite in more ways than one.
Supposedly one of the advantages of being Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential campaign was that Obama, as a completely empty suit with no real track record, could become whatever his adoring supporters wanted him to be. Post-racial, post-partisan healer? Sure. Left-wing progressive savior? Why not? Super-intellectual brainiac? You got it.
Not your easel.
The delusions lasted until Obama was forced to actually govern, at which point supporters and opponents alike had to start dealing with the reality of who Obama is.
Palin has the opposite problem. Whereas Obama said, “Make me president,” and people immediately imagined him to be whatever they wanted him to be, Palin has said nothing of the sort, and yet supporters and opponents alike have already begun demanding that she act like a presidential candidate, and do so in the manner of their choosing.
Political junkies and media types demand that Palin act like a traditional presidential candidate, even though she has never said she’s running and has never been known for doing things in the traditional fashion. When she resigns as governor, writes notes on her hand or chooses certain interview venues, the learned and brilliant say, “That won’t help her!” even though there is no clear answer to the question, “Help her with what?”
But if there is a group even more guilty than Palin’s critics of demanding she fit into their box, it is a great many of her supporters.
Granted, there are Palin supporters so taken with the former Alaska governor that they will support and agree with whatever she says or does, no matter what it is. But the more substantive core of Palin supporters consists of conservative activists, and here is what this group has decided:
Sarah Palin is the “true conservative” hope. Her ascension to the presidency is the greatest thing that could happen not only to the conservative movement, but also to the country. She is real, pure and true whereas most others are somehow and to some degree less than this. And we can’t let her fail.
OK. But there are problems with this, and not necessarily problems that reflect negatively on Palin.
First, as discussed previously in this column, Sarah Palin thinks for herself. Her governing instincts certainly appear to be conservative in most cases, but she is capable of judging a given situation on its individual merits.
At the moment, conservative activists are up in arms because Palin has decided to campaign for her old running mate, John McCain, in his re-election campaign for his Arizona Senate seat. McCain, facing a primary challenge from self-proclaimed “true conservative” J.D. Hayworth, is the scourge of conservative activists because of past votes against tax cuts, his position on immigration reform and his ownership of the now-obliterated McCain-Feingold campaign finance law – among other things.
To summarize: Conservative activists hate McCain, and even though Hayworth was pretty fond of federal pork during his days in Congress, they love Hayworth because he is the anti-McCain in Arizona.
So when Palin decides to go campaign for McCain, conservative activists are aghast: Oh no! This is a terrible mistake! She won’t help her credentials as a real conservative if she does this! Someone needs to talk to her!
Stop.

Here is something to consider. When Sarah Palin does something, it may not be because she is trying to burnish this or that set of credentials, or because she is trying to please this or that constituency. It might just be because she wants to do it. If this comes off as ill-considered to those who are exasperated not to detect a strategy behind it, perhaps the analysts should recognize the liberty that is bliss for the person who allows herself the freedom to simply come and go as she chooses.
If you like, there is a perfectly sound explanation – and Palin has offered it – for why she is backing McCain in 2010. McCain-Feingold is in the past. McCain’s opposition to the Bush tax cuts is in the past. Immigration reform is not high on the nation’s agenda at the moment. The crucial imperative at the moment is to stop ObamaCare and to get a handle on out-of-control federal spending. On these two issues, McCain’s knowledge, commitment, seniority and ferocity make him well-positioned to help the opposition succeed.
Perhaps it’s true that McCain is not a “true conservative,” whatever the hell that means. But if McCain is the guy who can stop Obama in his tracks on health care and spending, who cares if he’s a conservative, a moderate, a liberal or a socialist? As long as he can help deliver the result the nation needs.
Palin is smart enough to understand that political victories are meaningless unless they result in policy achievement, and she sees these particular policy achievements as most likely if McCain remains in the Senate.
But even if you leave that argument aside, there is an even more compelling justification for Palin to back McCain: She wants to.
Sarah Palin has never signed an I-must statement promising to do everything that a given constituency wants her to do. She has never promised to abide by the list of requirements that will make her a so-called real conservative.
Sometimes her supporters will agree with her. Sometimes they won’t. I wasn’t thrilled when she endorsed the son of Ron Paul in Kentucky, but I don’t feel the need to believe in a Sarah Palin who is perfectly molded to fit my ideal of who and what she is supposed to be.
Just as Barack Obama isn’t necessarily what you imagine him to be, Sarah Palin isn’t going to be what you demand her to be. She is who she is – a very smart, skilled public servant and political figure who thinks for herself and makes her own decisions.
If these decisions sometimes don’t comport to the strategy you think she should be following to achieve the objective you’re sure she’s obsessed with, check to see if maybe you’re the one with the obsession.
And if they sometimes don’t fit with the orthodoxy of your particular movement, and that makes you want to have a hissy fit, too damn bad.

At last–thank you, Dan, for saying what “should go without saying.” Sarah Palin clearly has acted according to her personal judgment on each issue, not by any party line. She also is very pragmatic; she is a doer, and never loses sight of the goal at the heart of the matter. Whether you are a supporter or not, she should be an easy read for anyone who analyzes her actions. They are consistent.
It’s one of the reasons I trust her–whether I agree with her or not on a topic, I can trace her stand on it and tell what she will do.
Very good. My support of Sarah is not based on her pleasing me with every choice on every issue. Very well said.
Well said. She may not please the conservative base and the Tea Party folks 100%, but was Reagan 100% either? She’s a lot better than the current occupant of 1600 PA, who pleases me about 5% of the time…and that’s only when he issues orders to kill terrorists.
You’re kidding right? If Barack is an “empty suit”, Sarah Palin is an empty head. She stands for “hope?” Hope for what, exactly? Sarah Palin mocks the idea of hope. She mocks the idea of government. She mocks – welk, she mocks just about everything. She is and always has been someone looking to make a buck and she is not afraid to do what is takes to do so – whether it’s quitting her elected position or cozing up to the “lamestream” media as a talking head. You fans have already made her into something you want her to be, though she has proven time and time again that she has no understanding of government, economics, history, our constitution, geography, or even the English language. She’s not “real”, she’s not ethical, she’s not honest, and she’s no leader, of any cause.
Well said, Katie.
what the f#ck do you mean, ‘not your easel’?
I mean that she isn’t a blank slate that you can paint as whatever you want it to be. She is who she is.
Are we really back in the dark ages where someone who is that clueless on national issues is considered a viable candidate because … beats me. Blind adherence to the views of the brightest may not be the best approach, but just because it’s right to question those who are our best and brightest doesn’t mean suddenly we close our eyes and follow our worst and dumbest. Rush and company saying that because it’s cold today means global warming is a fraud is absurdity. Questioning our scientists and siding with common sense and an adherence to our best scientists is the proper course. For the good of the country stop the foolishness. We need to all do what is best for the country and elect the best leaders. Palin and most right wing idealogues just don’t qualify.
Dan knows that I’m not one who’d support a Palin presidential run; however, the mocking from know-nothing liberals is nausiating and demeaning. You folks elected the only anti-American “president” in history. The ONLY promise he has kept so far is that he would “fundamentally change America.” Yep, when a president skirts the Constitution and begins firing heads of private comapanies, I suppose “change” is in the air. Don’t worry libs, all of us “wealthy capitalist pigs” will lose everything we have. Our only solace will be knowing that those who were responsible will never amount to anything and will regret it all as their freedoms are ripped from them as well.
We live in a time of runaway government. And all we ever hear from politicians is that we have to get spending under control, but they never do.
Is there a governmental chief executive, at any level, who has actually reduced government? I can only think of one. Sarah Palin has, not once but three times in succession, gotten a budget through the Alaska legislature that actually spent less, in non adjusted dollars, than the previous budget. She has consistently without fail reduced the size and scope of government, and is the only one who has ever walked that particular walk.
So Palin’s critics can talk all they want about her supposed lack of qualifications, intelligence, or competence. When it comes to getting government under control, she is the most successful chief executive in history.
I love you Dan Calabrese…and, I love Sarah Palin.
(I was more upset with her when she granted Oprah an interview, I swore I would never watch Oprah again…but, I did, to see Sarah.)
You Betcha!!!
dan, an excellent look at palin. I am a huge supporter of hers & a staunch conservative. I truly believe she is NOT an idealogue. I’ll vote for her, if she runs, even though I know I won’t agree with 100 percent of her decisions. but she is real. her views are more in line with America and her founding. unlike bush, mccain, dole etc, u know she’ll stick with her beliefs. she won’t float in the wind like obama. if she runs she’ll win, which will be the frosting on the cake: America remaking itself not into a european socialist country, but as it was intended: LIBERTY.
Good article, but Palin is only good at one thing: promoting Sarah Palin. She may have brought in budget redcutions in Alaska, but governors all over the country are doing the same thing. Her results are skewed by Alaska’s reliance on federal dollars (they receive far more from Washington than they send per capita) and the high taxes on oil and gas companies, so high that the residents are cut a nice, government check each year. This does not make her ready to run the country…plus she QUIT in order to make million s of dollars from her fans. Charging for pictures? Come on…she is ruthless and determined to become a very wealthy woman as fast as she can. And to what purpose does she earn money? To help the native Americans in her state? Nope. To help educate children? Nope. It all goes back into the ‘movement’ whatever that means at the moment. Oh, there and into her pockets. She was never shy as Gov. about lobbying for ever more fed dollars. She is a politician, first, last, and always. No policy, no morals, and no fresh ideas.

Well said, Dan.. I couldn’t agree more.
As for you empty headed trolls that find it necessary to demean someone you clearly do not know anything about or understand, on every comment thread on the internet… You are only defining yourselves.
Saying the word “dumb” enough times, doesn’t make it so.. It only reflects on those pushing the meme.
Sarah Palin quit as governor of Alaska. To me that makes her unqualified to get my vote for President.
“She may have brought in budget redcutions in Alaska, but governors all over the country are doing the same thing. Her results are skewed by Alaska’s reliance on federal dollars (they receive far more from Washington than they send per capita) and the high taxes on oil and gas companies, so high that the residents are cut a nice, government check each year.” Susan 4:44
You are missing the point. Governors balance budgets all the time, but they do it with increased revenue and increased spending. Sarah reduced spending. No doubt that earmarks and oil profits increased Alaskan revenue, and 99.99% of all chief executives would use that to increase spending. But Sarah reduced spending, even with the increased revenue. Nobody else has done that. She is the only one who’s gotten control of government.
No matter how many times I point that Palin has never said she’s running for president, I’ll still get a boatload of comments along the lines of, “I don’t care what you say . . . she’s not qualified to be president!”
People. Think.
Total Alaskan budgets, including operating and capital funds were
2005 $7.6 Billion;
2006 $8.0 Billion (Sarah becomes governor) ;
2007 $10.1 Billion;
2008 $9.7 Billion;
2009 $11.1 Billion (Sarah Resigns).
For the short time that she was governor, Sarah did not consistently reduce spending.

Hey BOB…
I’m a 25 year resident and proud of our state and our former Governor. I’m sad that she left the governorship, but I’m glad she did it. She did it for Alaska. It was the best thing considering the political climate since the campaign and all the damage her opponents and the Left tried to do to her during and after the campaign. They tried to shackle her and bankrupt her. They sent 50 lawyers up here to dig up dirt. They filed mountains of FOIA requests with the state, costing our state thousands and thousands of dollars. Then there are the numerous and bogus ethics complaints. Again, costing the state thousands of dollars. Sarah loves this state with all her heart. She did the right thing for Alaska and I wish her the best in whatever the future holds for her. She’s smart, savvy, and will do right by the people. She cares about America – God Bless you Sarah!
Hey BOB…you can read SUSAN’s too.
Hey GLEN…looks like to need to read BOB’s and SUSAN’s
oh, jeez. I didn’t see Katie way up there. You need to read Bob and Susan too.
People, including Sarah’s supporters, need to relax.
The push to November, 2010 and beyond to 2012 is still a long grueling fight.
Be patient. Trust Sarah.

Wake up moderator…post my Hey Susan. Thanks
Great article. I totally agree with you. Thank you.
Excellent article. I have been reading her book(Going Rogue)and other books about her to get an understanding of how she leads and how she evaluates information to get good, effective decisions. The most important part is hard work and the right value system. More people should read her book to really know about her and her qualifications. She will do what is right for her family, Alaska, and our country.
WOW, that is just prescient.
I was just writing on Reihl World today about just such a topic. How they thought they owned her and her reputation and that they thought they had some right to her doing things their way, not hers. I was referring to how they thought her going to the Tea Party Convention by Tea Party Nation was going to damage her reputation and how they did everything they could to undermine the Tea Party Convention.
She could wake up tomorrow and start supporting Obama, and we have absolutely no reason to say she betrayed us. We do not own her, we have no hold on her, and in many ways, the way in which we attack her as much as the liberal progressive media and the liberal progressive democrat party does just goes to show how much she does not owe us anything.
I like Sarah Palin because of her personality, not because of any one or any group of stands she has made in the past. While almost all her stands sit well with me, I have issues with some of them, but I know the reasoning behind them, because I know her personality and her value system for coming to terms with her choices. At least I do for as much as I have seen.
Heyyyyy Dan,
Sarah is amazing and awesome. Tonight, she wore a beautiful elegant green jacket(the color of the green revolution in Iran who is fighting the Ahmedinejah’s dictator). She electrified the audience in Daytona. So many nice people came to see her and she was so great, humble and beautiful as always. Down to the point, plain and encouraging Florida to drill to became oil independent from hostile countries like Iran. I read her book and just love it. The attacks of the liberal media towards Sarah has made me get involved now in politics for the first time in my life. When I think that Obama is the President of the United States, that scares me so much and it makes me want to defend my country from communism. Sarah tells us things in a way that it is simple and to the point. I love her and I do hope she runs for President, I so identified myself with her as a mother and her upbringing in Alaska.
God Bless.
To follow up.
I was not able to vote for Reagan, but I followed him through my school days. He was a great president, and I know many a days I would wish I was allowed to scream in the house as I watched the TV and saw some of the legislation he was passing, I hoped while holding his nose. While he got much accomplished, he was at a disadvantage because of the majorities the democrats held in the house and the senate. Something he wanted always came at a price of something they wanted. I still feel that had he not had to sign those bipartisan bills, our country today would be that much more better off. Reagan is a hero to this nation and the world, and he signed some laws that I just would not have wanted to stomach through, because it was the only way he could work with the congress he had.
On the other side of the fence we had Bill Clinton, and this is a man I have never had any respect for and still do not. But he, like Reagan, was willing to sign legislation while holding his nose. The Republican majority he faced was able to continue for a few years the work that was left off by Reagan and ignored and even damaged by Bush one.
The fact that Reagan was forced compromised to democrats does not lesson his stature as a hero, and the fact that Clinton was forced to compromise with republicans does not increase his. We had two Morning in America periods late in the 20th century, the first was Reagan and the second came with the Contract with America. The first Morning in America lasted for the entire reign of the man who promoted it. The second Morning in America died with the morals of those republicans who used it only as a tool to get elected. The reason Reagan was able to keep Morning in America alive was because that was just who he was, there was not need to fake it. The reason Newt Gingrich and the Contract with America died a sudden death was because the reason for the contract was to become elected, and when that reason was no longer feeding the movement, it died with the coming of the republican majority and its imagination that they had come to their own generation of power with no need to earn it.
With Palin, what we have is a person of conviction in the mold of Reagan, and even if her policies are not Reagan’s, her values and character are. I cannot ever remember hearing Reagan saying he was sorry for being right, I never hear Palin doing so either.
For all those thinking that Palin resigned as Gov. to only make $$ and that it’s only about Sarah then why didn’t she just write her book and go away? It’s rumored that she’s already made 8 figures on the book so she could live off of that. She also had plenty of offers for tv shows such as a realty show and could have made bundles off of that. If she was all about the $$ she wouldn’t be speaking on behalf of millions of Americans who’s voices can not be heard. She knows this and is speaking for the silent majority. Is she making $$…sure, but that’s a good thing.
And, by resigning as Gov of AK she saved her constiuents plenty of $$. She could no longer serve the public as she swore to do so she did the honorable thing and stepped aside. VERY rare for a typical politician to do–put the people first–doesn’t happen but should with anyone who is a public servant.
Having said all that, I agree with Dan–is Sarah running for President? Who knows. If she does, I wouldn’t automatically vote for her in the primaries. Would I vote for her over Obama–YOU BETCHA!!!
Well said.Palin has every right to support Mccain.I would love to of seen the reaction of her potential rivals supporters.Look at her he made her famous and she tossed an American hero under the bus.They would use the words ungrateful,self serving(self serving they allready use,they would scream it not just shout it)breaks her word,ect ect.It would go off the map.Palin loves the guy,she respects and admires him.I respect her for not breaking her word.That means more to me than who is more conservative Hayworth or Mccain?
http://www.conservatives4palin.com/2009/06/governor-palins-budgets-pointing-out.html
Governor Murkowski’s last budget FY2007: $11,697,400,000
Governor Palin’s latest budget FY2010: $10,570,000,000
Total reduction in spending between 2007 and 2010: a whopping 9.5% or $1,127,400,000
FFY07- Murkowski’s federal requests total: 63 projects @ $349,497,000
FFY10- Governor Palin’s federal requests total: 8 projects @ $69,100,000
That was a gigantic 80% drop in federal requests by the Alaska governor’s office.
I keep seeing ad hom smears from liberals any time Palin is brought up. Yet whatever she does makes news politically and her speeches and facebook ad hoc speeches have been influencing policy and political discussion.
Nothing infuriates like success. Palin has been successful in the arena of political influence and opinion.
AMEN.
WHAT DO YOU WANT: A POLITICIAN WHO DOES NOT FOLLOW THROUGH ON WHAT HE/SHE SAID OR ONE THAT YOU CAN TRUST?
IF SHE DOES NOT SUPPORT MCCAIN BECAUSE HE IS THIS OR DID THAT DESPITE HER EARLIER COMMITMENT TO HIM, SHE LOSES TRUST
AND THAT IS A VERY RARE COMMODITY FOR POLITICIANS AND SOMETHING THAT SHE HAS.
SO LET’S NOT FALL FOR THIS LEFT-WING TRAP: CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW MUCH THEY WANT TO SEE HER NOT SUPPORT MC CAIN?
History can and will repaet itself. When Isreal was a world power during biblical times it beat its enemies against great odds KingDavid’s reign and others etc.. however as usual the men got cocky,lazy,and after a few beatdowns by their enemies they started to question their nation’s greatness and direction.Sound familiar to anybody? So what happened next? Go figure.. It’s a true story validated in world history and the Bible its in a little chapter old testament for you theologians out there. Her name was Deborah.Not much is said about her except that she sat under a juniper tree and advised the men of Isreal when to go to war. In short they trusted her and she never led them astray or lost them a battle under her reign.Her morals and judgement were respected.I don’t know Sarah Palin anymore than any of you do I do know she didn’t abort her child and she loves her baby with or without his difficulties everyone should know what I’m referring too..For some reason unexplainable to me and I don’t even have children her boy melts my heart which is quite often very hard.So perhaps there is a teachable moment coming to our nation I for one am sick to my stomach with politics both parties neither one is all good ar all bad. I just want to see some people with morals who make difficult decisions and understand you participate for a moment in this life and you yourself either add or subtract from humanity.She could step in a pile of shit and come out smelling like a rose that’s proof to me like Deborah she’s got some one on her side other than man. I hope she doesn’t run this next election but waits it’s not needed yet. She has sealed her fate by making wise decisions, just as Obama has by making foolish ones. If you haven’t noticed it seems to me there is a tide turning back to simplier days for Americans. Birth rates are up hotdogs beer and burgers are in vogue and hell who knows maybe the real handshake is going to comeback too…
“But the more substantive core of Palin supporters consists of conservative activists, and here is what this group has decided:
Sarah Palin is the ‘true conservative’ hope. Her ascension to the presidency is the greatest thing that could happen not only to the conservative movement, but also to the country. She is real, pure and true whereas most others are somehow and to some degree less than this. And we can’t let her fail.”
That’s an awful lot of question begging to base a theory on, Dan. Is it possible that her supporters look at the current crop of Republicans and see, in large part, a group of pseudo-conservatives who didn’t have the onions to rein in a profligate-spending President of their own Party? And in contrast they see Palin as someone with a track record, albeit short, of being the opposite of that?
I think if you had edited out the penultimate sentence in the part I quoted your column would have come across as more thoughtful and less strawman-flogging. To me, anyway.
Maybe, but I do want to say this about another part of your comment:
It wasn’t Bush who was the profligate spender. It was the GOP congressman who had the power of the purse. If you want to fault Bush for failing to stop them, I won’t argue with you, but they were the ones larding up the spending bills, and he made the choice not to pick a fight with them because a) he didn’t want to lose their support on the wars; and b) he feared that if he did so, the media would turn it into big red-on-red story that would cost the GOP their congressional majorities.
Obviously a miscalculation on his part.
It also needs to be said that you can’t get federal spending under control unless you reform entitlements, and the only Republican in Washington who had the stones to try this in the past decade was George W. Bush. The rest went running scared.
This article suggests as all the Palin-o-philes do, that the ends justify the means, the same calamity that got Obama elected. Note, I am not saying that electing Palin would be a calamity. However, Palin seems to be going along with the resurection of the GOP power monster, instead of tacking in a more conservative wind, responding to the people. McCain simply does not support the interests of the country. Supporting him would tend to put her in that category as well. Sarah is slipping into the way of the world, much to the denial of her supporters. Its a real possibility that she will become the leader of a machine that is no more for Americans than the Obama machine – if she continues down this path. We will vote anyone out who puts Washington first, and McCain is Mr. Washington. A leopard cannot change its spots folks.
By the way, my fantasy is that she have a steamy make out scene with Michelle Bachman. I mean these midwestern gals are gorgeous, tough and strong.
All the anti-palin commenters focus on her lack of intellectual abilities (“empty head”). President Obama may be an intellectual, but what has that got us: failure after failure. You are simply focusing on exactly the wrong presidential qualification. We need leadership and common sense.
My primary complaint about SP is that she quit as governor. I know it was difficult taking care of a family while fighting allegations of illegal actions, but that seems to be the case with all offices now. Presidents ALWAYS have to fight the opposition while in office. And while she hasn’t said that she is going to run for President, she has said that she isn’t closing that door. If she decides to run for President, it would be devastating for the country if she were to quit, no matter what her motivation.
For me the door is closed.
Hey Bob,
Has anyone tried to bankrupt the President, or his staff? I personally think it is great that she put others — her state, her employees and her family before a title. She pasted the ball to a fine leader.
Whose not better off. She showed great leadership.
I don’t know, Bob. A lot of politicians are in danger of being forced to resign because of some sort of scandal, and they will stop at nothing to stay in office, when in many cases the public would be better off if they would step aside.
Palin faced all these legal issues through no fault of her own, and certainly was under no obligation to step aside as a result, but could see that the state would be better off if she let Sean Parnell take over.
You tell me. Which was the selfless thing to do?
Sarah Palin is what this country has been yearning for – a spokesperson for the people. In the mob of Ivy league-educated attorneys becoming professional politicians, Palin stands out in stark contrast. Folks dig her homey speech, because that’s how real folks talk. We dig her no-holds barred style, because that’s how we talk around our beers amongst our friends. And, most importantly, we ‘get’ her because she is right (correct)on the easily understood topics of today.
1- Fight and kill the bad guys, interrogate them harshly.
2- Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater (healthcare).
3- Take less money from citizens.
4- Make government smaller.
5- Actually LISTEN to the people you are serving.
Pretty simple. And infuriating to the blue bloods that who like to keep things in a state of constant confusion and chaos.
