I just don't get it, could any of you from the USA explain this to me.

Why is Sarah Palin popular and even considered as a candidate for the presidency. Aren't there better alternatives to her in the republican party? Surely there are some more qualified people in the party? Or is it the Hockey mum thing?

She's viewed as a raving loony here by many.

She's a successful female poltician that isn't cast as "frigid and angry" as most female polticians are.

Furthermore, she doesn't give off the general bland "Everyday politican" type thing you see with people like John Kerry, Mitt Romney etc.

 

Basically, she has Charisma.  Look at our last few presidents during their elections.

 

Obama - He's an "everman" guy... loves basketball... has a personality.  You'd like to have a beer with him and watch a game.

Bush - "Everyman type guy."... "cowboy type image."... "liked to make jokes.  You'd like to have a beer with him and watch a game.  Just so long as he dosen't start asking you if you've found Jesus.

Bill Clinton - He's an "everyman" type guy.  Can play the Sax!  Good sense of humor.  You'd like to have a beer with him and watch a game... and talk about the cheer leaders.

Bush Sr - Ok... you wouldn't want to have a beer with him, but he was Vice President... and he was running against Michael Dukakis who was even more awkward.

Reagan - An actor!  Yet still humble!  You'd totally want to have a bear with him and hang out.

 

What does having a bear with Reagan involve? It sounds scary =P
