when Nixon was running for whatever he was running for at the time, VeePee (as Palin would pronounce it), Governor, President, even congressman in California before he became a national figure, he was the object of so much public scorn and ridicule that you almost couldn't believe it, and he was certainly an intelligent man, fully informed and well-spoken. Maniacal, dirtiest of dirty politics of the time, dark and forboding-looking, but a dangerously clever and well-versed candidate. Those of us who lived thru his campaigns couldn't believe that he was as popular as he was, especially next to those against whom he was running. But he was, and he survived almost all the attacks upon him by the Left. It was the Right which brought him down: the folks inside who wanted him out for a variety of reasons, some of which we shall never ever know. But the daily cartoons, the Nixon jokes, the caricatures were endless and yet he had a remarkable political career, ending after his resignation by becoming one of the most sentient speakers on the former Soviet bloc countries. While everyone was covering them as a win for the West, Nixon was warning of issues which later became extraordinarily important, including, but not limited to, the management of nuclear arms, the economies, racism and anti-Semitism (amazing coming from him - it took one to know one, of course), and instabilities throughout the region.

This Palin-creature is a moron of the first order, but she's a greedy, 'attractive' (don't shoot the messenger, I personally hate that 'look', but WTF do I know?), loudmouth, ignoramus who knows enough to just blabber and lie continuously about everything no matter how trivial, just to keep in shape, as Ambassador Wilson once said to me personally a long time ago in a galaxy far away. We can all blog about her all we want, but never ever let up promoting our candidate, for if she ever senses a real weakness, it shall be that we assume that she can't ascend. And, like Nixon and even Reagan's rise which many of us felt was impossible, it CAN HAPPEN HERE. We have to pepper the media and the individuals with whom we come into contact with legitimate criticisms of her and of course, all the other candidates for all elective offices from President down to Dog Catcher.
