Mayor Sam's Sister City, one of the most-visited blogs in California, is a major supporter of Sarah Palin for the vice-presidency of the U.S. MayorSam, as is his style, refers to Sarah as a "hottie," which causes a few people to wince, but in this column he even explains what that term means. I guess when "you're hot, you're hot," and that's true both of Mayor Sam and of Sarah Palin. Here's his column, which you can find in the 10/5 (Friday) postings:

Hotties Could Save Republican Party
Usually Republicans are wizzened old white guys with the charisma of a wet blanket. But perhaps not for much longer as young, talented, strong, intelligent Republican hotties are coming on the scene.We've talked before about Alaska governor Sarah Palin.
Enormously popular, the 43 year old Republican has fought back against dinosaur, tax and spend Republicans in her home state and there's no doubt she could do the same at the national level. Many speculate that Palin could easily challenge bridge to nowhere builder Republican Senator Ted Stevens but a grassroots movement is growing to encourage consideration of Palin as a potential GOP Vice Presidential candidate.
Palin who has what is probably the highest approval rating of any politician in America at 84% has shaken up the GOP old boys club in Alaska, putting a stop to pork barrel politics and ending old sweetheart deals. She even put an end to the bridge to nowhere; killing what some considered to be the poster child for Congressional pork.
Some pundits who like Palin think she needs more experience. However some of her supporters posit that were Palin a male and a Democrat, she'd be considered the next JFK. Indeed, she has more executive experience and is of the same generation as Barack Obama.
Another young, female GOP power player of late is Jeri Kehn Thomspon, 41. The former media consultant and Republican National Committee staffer is considered to be the svengali behind her Presidential candidate husband, Fred Dalton Thompson. As the Thompson campaign kicks into high gear, Mrs. Thompson has become more prominent.
The Republican Party could be revived by turning leadership over to youngsters such as Palin and Thompson. Sure, Thompson's husband is the candidate and yet another wizzened old white guy, but should he be elected there certainly is a model for a first lady to follow to a political career of her own. Given that both Palin and Thompson are of my generation I agree its high time to turn things over to their peers.
By the way before any of you go nuts, when I refer to Palin and Mrs. Thompson being hotties, its the whole package, not just their looks. It refers more to a state of mind, intelligence and ability. Indeed, if Palin or Thompson were just clerks at the Piggly Wiggly, they'd probably just be considered of average attractiveness.
Indeed, Henry Kissinger may have been correct when he said power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

Fred Thompson Falls Flat, by Matt Lewis
"... Fred Thompson's speech at the American's for Prosperity conference pretty much fell flat. While Thompson was greeted with the best applause, his speech seemed to under-perform -- which seems to be an analogy for his entire campaign.Thompson's style (which one reporter I talked to referred to as "Hollywood") seemed to rub many reporters -- and potential supporters -- the wrong way. His entourage hurried him in to the green room before any reporters or bloggers could ask him any questions. What is more, I'm also told that his team "swept" the green room -- essentially kicking everyone out that wasn't associated with his campaign. While other candidates such as Giulaini, Huckabee, Brownback, and Paul didn't mind sharing the green room with others, Thompson's team asked people to leave ...
