If nothing else this guy is a good counterpoint to the lefties wanting to know how anyone as stupid as Palin got into the national political spotlight.



Palin got in because of the Obama phenomena. Comparatively, she was also young and exciting. But, she had more experience than Obama and she could show she was successful at it. Not just one vote amongst many. And, they thought she was going to be just as exciting as Obama. The problem being she didn't have nearly the time to prepare for the national stage as Obama did. Obama was not a good campaigner when his campaigning began either. Nor did Palin have any desire to groom herself so that she sounded like and said exactly the things people expected and wanted to hear. Things like make a bunch of promises that could never be kept...

No Palin shouldn't have gotten in. Obama shouldn't have gotten in either. But, I'm kind of liking this Alvin fella. I'm glad he's up there. If it weren't for Obama the incompetent being in office and not wanting to give him any more power via his party, if I were in S. Carolina, I just might vote for the guy. Kind of like voting for Sanjay on American Idol!
