Car-vile's strategy backfired with Limbaugh, so I expect Palin's favorable numbers to go way up.

James Carville looks like a space alien. Rush’s ratings skyrocketed because of their attacks on him, the same will happen with Sarah. The fact that they are going to start attacking her shows the fear that they have that she can beat Obama, and easily

Ha! Well, I’ll be expecting to see her on the cover of Newsweek anytime now.

Apparently, the latest cover of Newsweek is that Obama isn’t liberal enough.

Newsweek...”We’re all Socialists Now” (...and it’s Bush’s fault)...the “Enough” cover with Rush’s picture and now, “Obama is wrong”-because he’s not left enough.

I wish I could get all the Newsweek covers so I could make myself a Pravda-like collage.

Alinsky’s RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

The left’s need for an Emmanuel Goldstein-type hate figure even when they have virtual total control over the government is pretty pathetic.

The ‘rats think they are so smart, yet are oblivious to their folly. The person they elevate to be the anti-Obama will be the rallying point of disaffected Americans who are fed up with the obamanation.

Keep it up Carville! We couldn’t possibly get better PR than a Dem who looks like the brood of a snake and an Alien screeching over a beautiful American women with a vision and a heart.

considering she is off feeding starving people on the edge of alaska when she is not preparing for a volcanic eruption less then 50 miles from the capital... all while being the loving mother of five (that’s five un-aborted kids)... she really has these people scared sh*tless.

imagine how freaked they’d be if she paid them any attention whatsoever.

Someone, somewhere has to raise themselves up soon as a conservative leader, or 2010 is lost. There are still too many GOP “leaders” who think they are in Washington to nibble around the edges and try to “improve” Obama’s plan. We need to get rid of the McConnel’s, McCain’s and the rest of the “reasonable” Republicans and replace them with fire-breathing, take-no-prisoners conservatives. Maybe Palin will be it, but someone needs to stand up soon and draw a line in the sand.

I concur.....the more they reveal their hatred of Palin to the general public...the more popular she will become.

This strategy is going to backfire in the worst possible way, just like it did with Rush.

Ah, yes, the politics of personal destruction. If you have a sympathetic press behind you they’re very formidable indeed. But as with Limbaugh, you take that shot, you better not miss.

They really don’t learn do they? With every person they do this to, it backfires.. They are now creating a coalition of those on the right who have been attacked fighting back.. Imagine Rush, Levin, Coulter, Rove, Palin, Jindal, and others all synchronizing their message and plan of counter attack.

The problem with using Alinsky’s method of personalizing the target is that citizens relate with individuals, thus, like with Joe the Plumber, they visualize themselves being attacked.

Think back to when Obama called out or attention to Rush Limbaugh when he met with GOP Congressional leaders; would Rush’s CPAC speech been so significant, especially among those who despised Obama but never felt inclined to listen to Limbaugh before out of his ‘legend of being a right-wing wacko’if Obama had not legitimized him as a rival to the Messiah? According to Rush recently, his ratings have gone through the roof.

With Sarah as with Rush, she does not need any more publicity, but what Carville eventually may be doing is legitimizing her as a serious threat to Obama in 2010 and 2012. I know many conservatives and Republicans are still skeptical of Sarah, some even believe the MSM’s narrative of being incompetent or a stupid moron even though there is mounting evidence, especially through Media Malpractice, that this was a complete distortion of her abilities and talent. As many Americans have taken a second look at Rush Limbaugh, I predict millions of conservatives, moderates, independents and conservative Democrats will eventually take a second look at Sarah Palin after she makes her keynote speech at the Congressional fundraising dinner in June, and I believe they will come to same conclusion as I have: Sarah Palin is a force of nature, Obama’s chief political nemesis, and the only chance that the GOP has to take back the White House in 2012.

Isn’t Sarah Palin minding business in Alaska right now, as she should be? Attacks on her now will look like the petty distraction that they are.

These are the same people who told us to lay off of Bill Clinton who was ‘inspecting’ an intern under his desk in the oval office!

He has some nerve trashing someone who isn't running for anything at the moment!

Mr. ‘drag a $1 bill through a trailer park’ Carville. He should know! He's been chasing that dollar bill for a very long time and obviously hasn't caught it yet!

James Carville has been in a bad mood ever since his ship crashed in Roswell.
