For me, the relevant point of this article is that this is Peggy Noonan talking. I have always liked Peggy Noonan. She is an excellent writer, and I love words. She wrote many of Reagan's most poignant speeches (and yes, I voted for Reagan twice). She wrote some of GHW Bush's best speeches (thousand points of light, kinder-gentler).

I think she is spot on. The Republicans need to bring up their best thinkers to face the problems that are coming our way in the years ahead. I WANT to support a Republican candidate, but it has to be the BEST that the Republican party has to offer.

I thought of a good analogy today that sums up my feelings. I think Bob Riley has done a great job as governor of Alabama. He has faced some tough problems and overall I think he has done a good job. But I don't think Gov. Riley would be a good candidate for Vice President (or President). And I feel the same way about Gov. Palin. I don't hate her. I don't even dislike her. I just feel that she was thrust onto a national stage for which she was not prepared.

Again, I hope that Republicans will listen to Peggy Noonan, one of their own, and try to find the very best Republican minds to face the problems coming our way.
