NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tea Party movement may have a leader -- if she chooses to step up. Sarah Palin's Saturday night keynote address was definitely the hot ticket, and she is the one person who could unite the activist groups that have gathered for the first National Tea Party Convention.The article by Mary Curtis "Invited to a Tea Party, Palin speaks--etc, plus the thousands of other journalist and TV talking heads that offer their perspective of the effect the tea party is likely to have in upcoming elections, I herein ad my own: The final comment in Curtis' articke "Many delegates wore Palin/Beck buttons that says it all" illustrates the degree to which the movement may fail in its effort to stem the tide of Obama/Read/Pelosi liberalism. Indeed, as another journalist wrote (the party needs a leader (a face) with the appeal of a Ronald Reagan that can enuciate a comprehensive, consertative, intellectual idealogy that will appeal to the millions of citizens who are so disgusted with "politics as usual". Neither Palin, and most certainly Beck does not suggest a change in that regard. I fear that Palin, and other aspirants to the presidency are so fired with personal ambition that they will fail to unite, and give their timely support to a candidate with the background, tempermant, and experience so urgently needed to alter the course to perdition chartered by George Bush, and accelerated by Obama.
