Palin is great at telling the faithful what they want to hear. She speaks with conviction and is convincing. Beyond that she is pretty much of an empty hat. Beyond the second or third question, on any subject, she will backslide to the rhetoric and one liners. Since bursting on the scene here in Alaska her high point was the 2008 convention and it has been a slide ever since. Palin rarely walks the talk and lately it has been: the louder she speaks the fewer who listen. She is however a great cheerleader and can make lots of money like most of us can only dream.
