At the anti-labor Tea Party rally in Madison yesterday, Sarah said, “The 2012 elections begin here.”
The words of a non-candidate? Washington Times doesn’t think so.

They say her “rip-roaring…pep talk reminds why she would be a formidable candidate,” and that her
“charisma, authentic ‘woman of the people’ quality and common-sense, family-oriented conservatism”
could carry her “a lot of the way” to the White House.

All who have contempt for her can sit around the campfire and deride her.
But there is another America out there, thrilled and energized by what the Washington Times
calls her “weekend tour de force” in Wisconsin.

And then there is Sarah herself. No accident that she used the phrase, “Fight like a girl.”
It’s a Bomshel song that says:

“Hold your head high.
Don’t ever let them define
The light in your eyes.
Love yourself, give ’em Hell.
You can take on this world.
You just stand and be strong
And then fight
Like a girl.

“Oh, with style and grace
Kick ass and take names…”

Not all of us would agree that Sarah is doing it with “style and grace,” but it would be naive
to think that she doesn’t still intend to “kick ass and take names.”

She’s already taken mine. I wonder if she knows how to spell it.
