Palin isn't batting anywhere near 100 with her endorsements...

She doesn't need to. All she needed to do was have a powerful effect, way more than anyone else’s, when she endorsed anyone. And she's done that in spades. Normally, endoresments are not worth much, and hardly move poll numbers to such great magnitude(Joe Miller in Alaska and Christine O'Donnell in Delware)..until Palin came along.

which seem to be “endorse the female over the male” in nature.

/sarc You mean like how she endorsed the male Joe Miller over the female Murkowski for example?

In fact, some of her endorsed candidates did quite poorly, (For instance, CeCe Heil finished THIRD)”

And exactly what position was CeCe Heil before Sarah Palin endorsed her?

and in some instance she endorsed a RINO liberal who over the more Conservative Candidate (Handel over Deal, even after Handel was shown to be soft on abortion and was hanging out with sodomite deviants.) “

Same Deal who's subsequently been shown to have been hiding some rather large debts?(albeit he was only trying to help his daughter start a business)

That's femi-nazi thinking”

/sarc yeah..femi-Nazi’s like Michelle Bachmann, Christine O'Donnell and Nikki Haley(all of whome Sarah Palin endorsed) right?

Palin is the one candidate who ALWAYS thinks outside the box. She doesn’t do anything by the so called “book”.

Her daughter is a grown woman, a mother and does not need Sarah’s approval to do anything and how does her appearing on that show make a fool of her? Sarah is simply a mother cheering her daughter on , supporting her. I guess that is just horrible.

Why are you just willy-nilly throwing out the names of all of these old rino republicans, they aren’t running for president, time has passed them all by, and who is Mitt Huckrich?

A vanity with a spreadsheet showing how Christine can win. You can manipulate the numbers yourself, and it will show the winner of the DE Senate race.

Damaged goods?

Americans love a fighter... And we’ve been watching what they’ve thrown at Sarah, and how she’s handled it. With class and style. And a lot of humor and tenaciousness.

Every time they try to knock her down, she gets right back up and gives it back, and then some.

I LIKE IT!!

She’s Pro-American, Pro-Constitution, Limited government patriot.

She’s one of us!

Dan Quayle never had the star power Palin has. The media successfully destroyed him. While they used the same playbook against her, it was McCain people who set her up and tore her down from within. They just didn’t want to win. Typical Rino betrayers.

But on her own, she has done just fine. She’s no Dan Quayle.

If you have some sort of influence on the Palin campaign handlers, will you tell them for me that everyone knows Sarah is a mother and supports her kids and that she is a dedicated wife. We all admire her loyalty to her family and friends.

But, we have some problems in this country and we are dying as a nation at the hands of people who mean us great harm. Therefore, I and others would greatly appreciate it if she were to keep her family life private and present herself as an “individual” prepared to take on this cabal that is killing us daily.

I don’t want to see Bristol Palin doing anything. I want to see Sarah Palin kicking rear ends and taking names. Let’s leave the domestic stuff out of view and let’s take on the People’s work now.

There are some rules that never change. Keep your family protected from the media and your private life to yourself. You can parade them out with you when you win the Republican nomination and when you win the Presidential Election.

I honestly believe it’ll be like 2000.

Palin will = Bush.

Mitt Huckrich is
MITT Romney
Mike HUCKabee and
Newt GingRICH.

Like in 2008, we did the same with Rudy McRomney or whatever formulation we used.

Anyway, Bush pretty much wraps it up in the Summer and Fall of 1999. The other top names, front runners, were Quayle Alexander and Dole. They all dropped out. McCain came in later, after Bush pretty much sowed up all the money, and pretty much took the “not Bush” spot. The rest, by the time the primaries rolled around, were somewhat marginal candidates. Bauer, Keyes, Hatch.

Same deal I think in 2012. Palin, it becomes clear, is the winner. Romney, Huckabee, Gingrich all drop out. Someone, like Lamar Alexander, someone old, a has been that has a deep resume and who has run before or is well known, and hasn’t either A) brought Gay Marriage to his state B) Is a preacher who pardoned people who went on to kill cops or C) was in a commercial with Pelosi about Global Warming and who left his dying wife will emerge as the alternative.

Well, if Palin runs, it’s Palin.

The pack are either unknown or flawed (Mitt Huckrich).

So a tired old retread without glaring negs will be the Anti-Palin.

Ron Paul will likely be in the mix as well.

that this info can be used by the MSM to reinforce its argument that the GOP primary voters would be reckless to vote for Palin and not heed the evidence (provided by the MSM)that Palin would be slaughtered in the general election by Obama.

Yes, but conservatives already going to know that this meme is false. Instinctively, we would know that if the media thought Sarah would be the weakest, they would encourage her to run or not say anything about her. You think conservatives are going to listen to what the media says in this day and age? I think you should relax and have a beer.

She's a quitter and damaged goods. Period.

This is your opinion. However, it doesn't square with reality. If she's damaged goods, then none of what she has written, spoken, or who she has endorsed wouldn't matter. She would be the political equivalent of Meghan McCain.

I'll not support her against a far more qualified candidate who didn't cut and run.

Please name your far more qualified candidates. The last time I looked, Palin co-ran a business, was a city councilwoman, Mayor, Governor, and state regulator. She was qualified to be VP but not for President? I don't buy your logic. What type of qualifications does she need, and had she stayed in office, likely bankrupt and politically ruined at the end of 2010, would you have still supported her?

No amount of spin will change that fact.

There's no spin other than the flotsam that's circulating in that hollow chrome of yours. Palin is a force to be reckoned with and is already the de-facto front runner should she choose to run. Look, Thune has said publicly that he's not running if Palin runs. What does that tell you?

People here can throw a tantrum if they like, but I'm just calling it like I see it.

Who's throwing a tantrum? Nobody is asking for Palin to get treated with kid gloves. She has to run the gauntlet just like the other candidates. But I'll be damned if some will say that she shouldn't run because of some perceived lack of qualifications. Shouldn't she be allowed to run and fall flat on her face, then you can tell us Palin supporters you told us so?

Thune, Pence, Rounds, DeMint, and Daniels are just a few of the more qualified candidates that I'll support over her.

Nobody is going to elect a Senator or Congressman, OK? I agree with on Rounds and actually hoped that ND Governor Voheven would run.

Two-thirds of the candidates she endorsed have won their primaries. BTW, her endorsements are not meant to pile up wins like she's playing poker. They are meant to spur competition in the GOP primaries and make sure conservative candidates have their voices heard.

I wouldn't make book against that. Perfectly good FReepers have declared Palin and O'Donnell too damaged to be electable because the MSM has picked them out for annihilation. We're already allowing our enemies to choose our candidates for us! Somebody explain to me how McCain was the best we had to offer.

However, she is now damaged goods, like it or not.

Please read my #77. Your remark is exactly what I'm talking about when I say we're allowing our enemies to choose our candidates. You are against Palin simply because the media piled on her, and you're saying the media may continue to choose our candidates by piling on good conservatives in the future.

I fear for our future.

No... She did it to herself when she cut and ran. That and supporting liberal females over good Conservatives.

Maybe. Most call her “damaged” because of the media blitz. You have a good, and deeper point to make. Sorry if I was rude.
