Buchanan in 2000...?). Just as elitists recoil, many conservatives like myself see her as the daughter we would all like to raise: someone who is strong, opinionated, and adept in both feminine and masculine tropes. <BR/><BR/>I would not compare her to Margaret Thatcher, who is in my pantheon of heroes, as a savior. But just as the elites fought Thatcher, so too will they fight very hard against Palin. <BR/><BR/>(( The BBC recently produced a film on her depicting her battle against the elites half a century ago... some excellent YouTubes show it, including this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4w1UPX_fC0 ... if you dare to watch, make sure to see from 3:55 - 6:05 ))<BR/><BR/>PS*** Trisha Low and I may be meeting in Iceland in October.
