from RedState:
Oh, I know, I know: This opens me up to the hackneyed Lloyd Bentsen trope about knowing John Kennedy, and you, Sarah Palin, are no John Kennedy… To which, one hopes, she would answer, “You’re right. I never cheated on my spouse, got involved with the Mob, and my Daddy never bought me a Pulitzer Prize.”
But, the analogy is this:
JFK created a whole new set or rules, a whole new road-map to the Presidential nomination of his party in 1960. And, we may be witnessing the same thing, fifty years later, from Sarah Palin.
John Kennedy went after the Vice Presidential nomination in 1956, in a failed attempt to be Adlai Stevenson’s running mate. It wasn’t so much that he was unsuccessful (the nomination went to Estes Kefauver instead), but what he learned along the way in setting himself up for his parties’ Presidential nomination in 1960.
What he learned was this: The grandees of the Democrat Party would not, under any circumstances, allow a Catholic on the national ticket. The Dixie-crats in particular where antipathetic. But, even the East Coast Elite found the young JFK too much to take: Elanor Roosevelt, in particular, found him loathsome (as, among other things, the second son of the then-reviled Joseph Kennedy), calling him “that little piss-ant”.
Believe me, pre-1964, you went absolutely nowhere in national Democrat politics without the blessing of Elanor Roosevelt. Think of her (before her death) as Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama, Pinch Sulzberger and John Kerry all rolled into one big, fat ball of influence.

What is meant ot aim hign is really a low blow.
Kennedy was a disgusting pervert that couldn’t control his manly desires. He cheated on his wife as often as he could, several times a week and even brought his tramps into the Whit House.
Just what we needed another person with no morals only this one has no sense. She is ambitious and would sacrifice her own children at the alter of ambition.
First of all she ought to go to diction school so we would not have to listen to that high pitch scream she calls a voice. Then it might benefit her and US if she would take some time to study up on the Constitution as well as foreign policy.
The person that loves the Constitution so much became the VP candidate for the biggest and worse rino in congress john mc cain, who prides himself on crossing the live and voting with the demoncraps. Then she goes down and campaigns for the idiot in last years election and she campaigned for Perry who is also a bilderberger. Sorry folks but I think we have an oxy moron somewhere.
Everyone is always touting what she did in Alaska in such a short time and that is where it stops. A baboon could have accomplished the same thing if they had the bilderbergers behind them. Check out the facts she is a protege of newt the snoot gingrich.

and there is a lot more.
I am convinced that the American public is mindless as you can get and they deserve exactly what is about to happen to them.

My take on the article was not one that was necessarily supportive of Palin as a potential POTUS, but instead highlighting the comparisons of battling against the party bosses. When you consider the Kennedy was essentially the first television President, a “new -media”, and Palin challenging the media establishment, it is a “changing of the rules.”

Jack Kennedy’s criminal father, Joseph, paid big money to Daley (no surprize) of the Infamous Chicago gangster machine that still runs the demoncrap party in the entire state, to buy the election for his son.
The other thing is that palin is a NWO plant. That is how she got to be governor and the reason why she had such a remarkable record accomplishments with the big oil industry. It was an under the table job and the big oil company exec (j d rockefeller) made sure she won big because they were priming her for another one of their traps for we the people. They plan these things for years in advance.
It appears that their plan is working as the majority of the Patriots are falling for it; hook, line and sinker.
We never seem to wise up!
