This seems backward.
The MSM isn’t going to pull an O’Donnell on Palin. They’ve been pulling a Palin on O’Donnell. (and it hasn’t really done much good, anyway).
I can’t see what more Palin could have thrown at her, at this point. Not that they won’t try.
“She’s a witch! Burn her!”
Actually, it’s not a bad strategy when you’ve got the MSM behind you.
There are many better and more viable Conservative options than Sarah Palin. She is not God, she is not the be all and end all of Conservativism. I supported her in the face of what the media did to her in 2008. However, she is now damaged goods, like it or not. The fact that some of Palin’s supporters are trying to run the narrative in the OP is telling as to how damaged she is. I’ll be supporting another good candidate in 2012. Thune, DeMint, & Pence are all good alternatives.
An Obama visit will not help Coons. He is underwater in Delaware just like he is in Illinois. Christine does need to hammer Coons and she has started into what will be a series of ads. Christine has to do two things to win. Hit Coons and win over the GOP that is holding out from supporting her.
This is just what they’ve been doing all along. . You’re saying they’re testing how that is working? They can test it any time already.
Delaware is about the only place Biden and Obama both have positive approval ratings.
That’s the main reason they’re campaigning there together.
And she’s still standing.
That would be David Brooks, Kathleen Parker or any number of McQueeg advisors who are irrelevant now that the tea party is in charge?
But it is my contention that in 2011 that the MSM will get serious about taking down Palin and that we have not really seen anything yet. So far they have toyed with the idea around the fringes but after Palin declares for the highest office in the land all bets are off.
VANITY - not Rasmussen
I think this is a fair analysis of what is going on. The radical left and their buddies in the Republican establishment are using O’Donnell as a tune up for their attack campaigns against Palin. We all know the dingy-dumb duh routine will be thrown at both of them, as a variation of the theme real blacks aren’t conservative. In this case, it’s smart women aren’t conservatives. Of course the joke is that most women who can qualify as smart, are conservatives. They are also better looking than most of the mentally challenged dingbats on the left.
Chris Coons poisons people for money.
Democrats don’t much like being poisoned.
At the same time, Palin is watching this race closely herself.
It’s a dry run for her as well. Will Christine survive? I think so, just because she’s stronger than Coons. A better candidate. It is an incredibly Democrat state though.
O’Donnell wins, and it’s pretty much President Palin - with a few caveats.
Total, unadulterated crap. Balderdash!
for months you anti-Palin bots kept pushing the “but, but Palin has been Dan Quayled” meme, despite massive evidence to the contrary. This year, she has proved to have more political power than any other politician in the entire country(including 0bozo himself), with her game changing endorsements, which have had the power to change election outcomes more than any politician I have ever seen. So now that your “Palin s another Dan Quayle” meme has been destroyed, you come up with this pathetic, loony left talking point garbage again? Let me know when you are ready to wake up from loony left-land and face reality will ya?
It may just be me, but, why don’t you wait until we have candidates declare and campaigns and little ole stuff like that.
Maybe throw in a primary or two.
workerbee:
The key difference in the line of attack is they have the specific case of a sure Castle victory in the Delaware Senate race if he had won and a sure loss for the GOP because O’Donnell prevailed.
The Castle-O’Donnell scenario is tailor-made and irrefutable evidence (according to the MSM) to be exploited against Palin in reference to her more “acceptable” or “electable” opponents. That is the key difference in the previous attacks on Palin and the future attacks on her.
If Coons wins big, the MSM will beat Palin over the head questioning her judgment in endorsing of Christine O’Donnell and then hang Palin out to dry with the O’Donnell-Coons result warning the GOP what to expect in 2012 if they dare nominate such a flake like Palin.
LLS
MSM get serious? are you kidding? There’s been an op-ed/article, hit piece everyday on the front page of one major or another since 2008. They’ve been grooming the publik for the very numbers those polls cite. Should she win the nomination those numbers would change in my opinion.
Unlike Thune, DeMint and Pence, Palin draws a large crowd and has name recognition.
And it would be historic!
