Looking On The Bright Side
Ross:
This could, of course, turn out to be an enormous debacle if she isn't
ready for prime time. But for now, Sarah Palin looks like a perfect
face for the sort of Republican Party I want to support: She's a
pro-life working mom; she's tough on corruption and government waste
without being a doctrinaire Norquistian on taxes; she's more supportive
of gay rights than the current GOP orthodoxy (while stopping short of
backing same-sex marriage); she has a more conservationist record than
your typical GOP pol, but supports drilling in ANWR; she's an
evangelical but she isn't a southern evangelical ... and if McCain loses, she can run at the top of a Palin-Jindal ticket in 2012!
All of this may be great for the future of the GOP. But it's a hell of a risk for the country.
