Let Sarah be Sarah

The euphoria of John McCain naming Sarah Palin as his Vice President nominee is wearing off, and reality is setting in for me.

Yes, it was the right choice. Brilliant, in fact. Yes, she's qualified. Yes, she's awesome.

But.........two things threaten to take her down:

1. The media hates her. Absolutely. She is a threat to them, not only because they were caught off guard having no idea who she was, but because they are mostly elitist liberals and she is a confident conservative woman. By having her Down's Syndrome son, instead of aborting him, she is a direct threat to the sacrament of abortion - which is the most sacred dogma of today's Democrat party. So, they must take her down.

You need evidence of that? After Charlie Gibson's sneering condescending look-down-my-glasses-at-the-white-trash interview? How about perky Katie Couric editing an interview with Palin intentionally to make her look bad? Nothing new at CBS, I can assure you. (Dan Rather, pick up the white phone - oh, wait, where is Dan Rather the forger now?)

The media is out to get her. That's a given.

But the bigger threat to Sarah is John McCain's campaign staff. They have no idea what principles animate Sarah Palin. She's a conservative, and they assuredly are not! They see her massive appeal to America, but have no idea why.

So, what McCain's staff is stupidly doing is squashing her. Keeping her away from reporters. Forcing her into McCain's anti-conservative principles - which are primarly kiss-butt liberal positions to get the media's adoration.

Let Sarah be Sarah!

McCain's team can't hold her down forever. She will shine. And the debate is the place to do it.

Sarah should kick out her debate prep team and be herself!
