"Holding Sarah Palin to just three interviews and microscopically focusing on each interview I think has been a mistake," Romney said. "I think they'd be a lot wiser to let Sarah Palin be Sarah Palin. Let her talk to the media, let her talk to people."
Sarah Palin needs to stop trying to be what everyone thinks a VP should be and start trying to be what everyone likes about her, that is, a real person. So, when Biden is going off about various world leaders and foreign policy and frankly, running circles around her, she needs to sit up, look at America and tell them straight, I don't the name of every leader of every country I would have to work with. I don't know the name of all of the big donors to Washington over the years from Freddie Mac and Fannie May. They didn't give money to me. I do know what it takes to be a working mom and mother of five and to care about the public trust. That experience counts for something. That experience teaches you things about relationships with other people and how to deal with them. It teaches you to care more about the public trust than about your political career because you care about the future for your family more than anything else in the world. With John McCain, I will push for economic policies that rely on what some might call old-fashined values. We will work hard to get out of debt. We will work hard to only spend what we bring in. We will work hard to put off spending on something today that can wait until tomorrow. We won't engage in financial manipulation to try and jump start the economy in various ways. Instead, we will try and have a steady monetary policy that will avoid the up and down swings we are seeing today. And then on with foreign policy...
My point is, she is never going to win by trying to be Joe Biden. And frankly, I don't want her to. What attracts me to the idea of having her as VP is that I honestly think we need a different perspective in Washington. I think she will bring it. I don't want to vote for her because I think she is like the rest of them. I want to vote for her because I am hoping she is more like us. That is how she can win the debate.
