Benyamin Korn, founder of the website Jewish Americans for Sarah Palin, on when he first discovered her insights:
I was captivated — not by her looks, for goodness sake — but by her charisma, her brilliance, her grasp not just of the issues, but of the moment.

I have been an admirer of hers since then.
