I can respect that.

I suspect she'll only get stronger as the campaign rolls along. Is she smarter or a better politician than, say, Mitt Romney? Probably not, but I think people feel she's authentic.

So while the liberal media will make hay of her gaffes and try to diminish her candidacy, it's just a reminder to those that support her, as well as those who are thinking about it, that she's not your typical packaged Washington candidate. She needs a little polishing and she'll give old Mittens a run for his money.

Romney is as ho-hum of a candidate as they come. It's not going to take much for someone to outshine him.
