That may be the most intelligent strategic political comment I have heard in 18 months. “She may or may not be the one but she reminded us of what we are looking for.”

There where a lot of mitigating circumstances the economy, jobs, the war, etc. But what got us in the “L” column all up and down the flag pole was not how the message was presented, it was the message itself. It has been fun working with you slicing and dicing the demographics but the Republican platform and our candidate(s) tried to morph the conservative message into something more modern and trendy and it cost. Conservatism is timeless, that is why Sarah caused such excitement before the media crushed her. She may or may not be the one but she reminded us of what we are looking for.

The problem isn't the issues they're trying to communicate: it's the voices through which they're attempting to speak. Look at how the liberal illuminati have accomplished this: they've recycled classic old liberalism and made it sound new by embodying it in a woman's perspective (Hillary), an African-American perspective (Barack), and so on. The GOP leadership won't connect with people until it realizes in needs to speak in the voice of the populace - which, most the time, is not white, male, and upper class, like Karl Rove. That's what was so great about Palin: instead of photos of her on the golf course, there are photos of her in the diaper aisle. Her voice carried the unique conservative passions with a new sound, a new flavor. It's no good studying demographics if the same tired old white guys are preaching to them at the end of the day.
