Don’t give up on potentially great leaders

I grew up in New York City. I’ve spent most of my adult days in Manhattan, including graduate school in my early 20s at Columbia University. It’s a great place to discover yourself, but let’s just say I’m no stranger to fancy discourse, intellectual doublespeak, overpriced anything and everything, and people trying to talk you into this or that on an hourly basis. I don’t quite have the naiveté that I often admire so much in others. What I have instead is a profound appreciation for what’s real. My gut and my research tell me Palin’s not a fake.

My hope is that you don’t give up on potentially great future leaders, whoever they may be. When they arrive on the scene, they’ll need your strong voices, diligence, and love of country to stand beside them. You’ll need their leadership and experience to fight for America. And together, some real hope and change will finally begin.
