It was Fred Thompson, and I think he said she was " . . . the only candidate
to know how to field-dress a moose, except maybe Theodore Roosevelt)."

treatment

Did anyone note in the introductory remarks to Palin's speech, given  
by the first Jewish governor of Hawaii, Linda Lingle, that it was  
considered heroic to give a speech in Texas, go into labor and then  
jump aboard a plane.  Palin then flew a couple of thousand miles to  
deliver the baby in Alaska the following day.  Interesting judgement  
call.

One other note.  The Republicans keep introducing themselves as the  
party of Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt.  And yet there wasn't a  
moment's stir when someone--Guiliani I think it was-- said that Palin  
is the only person ever on a presidential ticket who knows how to  
field dress a moose.

Hello?  "The Bull Moose Party" ring any bells?

I can see what Lawrence is hearing.  Palin has presence, more perhaps  
than Obama.
