While I like Palin as a person, she simply lacks the political savvy to be an effective President. I think she's too trusting (naive?) to ever "get it". The hand writing is a good example. It's just reflective of not foreseeing how its presence would create an opportunity for cyncism and attack - and she didn't get that. I don't consider her to be unitelligent, I just think the Presidency requires some intangible quality which she is lacking. I can't see a scenario where I would vote for her as President.
I don't view the TEA party as trying to create a viable third party. I think it's more along the lines of creating a voting block which is large enough to encourage a candidate's/representative's fiscal responsibility, regardless of the candidate's other politcal beliefs.
Your pay scale doesn't make you "elite". Your attitude towards those who make less than you makes you elite.
