On November 20, 2009, Sarah Palin visited Columbus, OH as part of her book signing tour for "Going Rogue." When her supporters were asked broad questions about why they thought she should be president, the responses were vague: She's "real." She'll "stick up for America."
THERE ARE UNINFORMED OBAMA SUPPORTERS, TOO It has been said in comments that we would find similarly talking point-driven, substance-less supporters at an Obama rally, and we agree. But no politician has emerged on the national stage as undefined and unqualified as Sarah Palin, and her public persona--which is anti-intellectual by definition--discourages substance. Instead, we get winking. One could hardly imagine her giving a complex speech about race in America, or speaking eloquently about our country's relations with Islam. Not just because she couldn't write such a speech (Obama has speech-writers, of course) but because she wouldn't--such necessarily academic discussion is antithetical to the persona she's created for herself and that her supporters have come to love.
CHERRY-PICKING As for accusations of cherry picking, which are commonly thrown at interview-based videos, it simply isn't what we did. We interviewed only a few more people than ended up in the video, not hundreds, and what was cut was done for time purposes. The people were selected at random--some offered to be interviewed--and we were only there for about 90 mins (it gets dark early and fast in Ohio right now). What didn't make it into the video was just more footage of people talking generically or about taxes/spending, drilling, and abortion, and we constructed blocks in the piece to represent those issues. Of course the piece was edited to be entertaining (this is YouTube, after all, where the currency is cat videos) but we don't believe we misrepresented the attitudes of the people at that signing in any way.

"A baby is within this much of being a baby". Brilliant. However, what can we expect from an octomoron that watches the fixed and bullshit channel a lot.
@GiddyupQuerists--Why are people so afraid of a "Czar" as if it's some evil position? It's standing meaning TODAY is nothing but a another title for the head of a department with a lengthy job description. Fox noise and the frightened ignorant Idiots who watch them are the real threat.
(Continuation) Unfortunately, for about the last twenty two years our country has lacked UNIFYING leadership. That is the real problem. When people are unified and not antagonized they tend to find ways to work together. I didn't like Reagan when he was in office but he did bring the people of this country together MOST of the time. Corporate ownership of his ass was a little less evident than ANY of the presidents to follow him. (yes that means Obama too, don't fool yourselves) -NewMiddleMedia
If you didn't "cherry pick",( I am not attempting to insinuate anything) this does not speak well for Ohio nor for the people of the community you targeted for this video. I am revolted by the thought of her becoming president just as I have been revolted by the election of Obama. America has become anti-intellectual on both sides of the political fence. Anything to an extreme leaves people wanting and out of the picture. (this is a reference to your youtube handle)
Before George W. Bush the most czars a president had was Roosevelt with 12. George W. Bush brought that number up to 35. That is 23 additional czars. Obama has 38.
Quote from video: "We're first, other people are last" talking about how Sarah Palin will stick up for Americas and get rid of the "political correctness" WOW!!!! I CAN TOTALLY HEAR JESUS SAYING THAT!!!!!

MOST "informed" people DON'T VOTE - and that is why we see very little change
Brilliant. However, what can we expect from an octomoron that watches the fixed and bullshit channel a lot.
