Its Palin 2, the sequel!

There was a Social Republican on CNN this morning who made a good point. Basically that his party right now is more interested in promoting effective bomb throwers than good legislators.

The problem with people like O'Donnell (and like Palin) is that there's no substance under the suit. All they do is recite overly simplified talking points, stir the pot on divisive issues and get in jabs for the blogs.

Is this really the fresh blood that's going to revitalize the GOP?

So far, here's a shocker, I'd say Scott Brown.

TO me.
a few qualities, as this could be it's own thread
1. Honest
2. Blind to party lines
3. Does what is best for his constituents while still looking out for the country as a whole.
4. Has a hot singing daughter (ok, not required).

In the context of the Republican from VA, I believe he meant someone who had the potential to help write good laws. You can infer the proper skills on your own.

The point being, the best legislators aren't usually those who make the best sound bites.
