I find her to be bright, practical, modest, pragmatic. But with a backbone. Romney? I am not sure about his backbone. Otherwise, I don't mind him.

I want Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and other enormously intelligent people running this country. If we start to believe that it's best to let folks like Joe the Plumber and Palin, or Limbaugh and Beck, run this country, then we won't survive as a country for very long.
Famous line by Bill Buckley was that he would rather be governed by first 200 people in Boston phone directory than by faculty of Harvard. |
