Well, I think I can discern a difference between what Cohen says about Branson and what he implies about Palin. I think it has to do with anger and the readiness to attack. Cohen found no aggressiveness in Brandon, only the good values and virtues that I think most people can admire. I personally think that Sarah Palin has been very 'negative' when she has talked about Obama, apparently describing him on at least one occasion as a man who is friendly with terrorists (note the plural), and to me that is a far cry from the warm acceptance and pride of both Obama and Palin that the mayor of Branson talked about. Now that is something that warms my heart, where Sarah Palin fails to do so.
