Sneering at a "feel good" TV program may be the mark of sophistication at the NYT, Washington Post, or on Mudcat. But not in most of the US. And not for President Obama, for instance.

But that sort of attitude is a good indication of why Sarah is such a danger. Mudcatters who exhibit this trait--and it's interesting how by and large it is non-religious posters--show by this how far out of touch they are with ordinary citizens--and how they continue to underestimate Sarah.

Ebbie has it right--and the rest of you should learn from her--and realize that this sort of program is exactly what will endear Sarah to large number of voters--and make her even more formidable an opponent for President Obama.   Especially if, as I suspect, the program will be leavened with humor.

President Obama has a great sense of humor, but it tends to be a dry wit, which fits his cool persona. Many viewers will connect with a warm Sarah.



Another reason why we should try to make sure she does not get the chance to do something similar on Discovery.

And as usual Rig has a wrongheaded interpretation--it is totally legitimate to try to bring pressure to bear by boycotting advertisers--and telling them up front why.
