Palin Won't Be "Leaving the Room"- and Thank God for That

I 'm sure a huge fan of Charles Krauthammer's column, haven't missed it in years- but I sure would like to have a better grasp of what his real issue with Sarah Palin is- as well as why he's so blind to the deft political skills she's put on display so impressively this week.

Dan at Riehl World View offered-up an possible explanation last week, in that Krauthammer might see her as a foreign-policy lightweight, or perhaps not hawkish enough for his tastes. But I don't see any other governors' like Romney having any experience either, and as a VP nominee, Palin was in no position to form her own platform in the campaign. Seems a bit early to judge her so harshly on defense issues at this point- what's on Dr K's mind? To me it's bewildering, honestly-

Hot Air did a piece yesterday on why Palin should indeed not "leave the room" in the HC debate, as suggested by Krauthammer last week- and it's good stuff:

Those Facebook pages she’s tossing around like ninja throwing stars are eloquent proof that no one has the right to pat Sarah Palin on the head and send her out of the room, while the grown-ups settle down to serious talk.

She isn’t just writing snarky rants. She’s providing both devastatingly effective criticism, and substantial policy alternatives. It’s fairly obvious the White House paid a great deal of attention to her infamous “death panel” column....
