Not likely, but the Barack Hussein Obama phenomenon the MSM helped create is doomed.

49 days and counting.

They (liberals)....are....sooooo....SCARED!

The CBS MarketWatch columnist, Jon Friedman, has posted a column that appears to have been composed in an alternate universe in an entirely different space/time continuum than ours. It is a universe in which the media somehow built up Sarah Palin and in which the public will also become bored with her. Does this sound like our own universe? Of course not. In our universe, the real one, the media has been tearing down Sarah Palin from day one.

Methinks this fellow Friedman, is talking about Obama. Folks are already getting bored with him, and maybe Jon Friedman, too.

Should it be “Is the Obama phenomenon doomed”?

[mywholebodyisaweapon]

Jon who?

[bahblahbah]

It is doomed unless there is a domestic policy shakeup that takes account of her narrative strengths... they need to pivot on health care which takes into account exercise and recreation... “teddy roosevelt get off your arse and take care of yourself plan”....

[Free Vulcan]

And the media smoke and mirrors parade continues.

[pookie18]

I agree with the columnist. The public probably will be bored by the time her presidency ends in Jan. 2021...

Sarah was in Colorado today. People were calling in to KOA radio and when asked what they thought about Palin, the answers seem to center around:

“She is not from Washington. She’s real. She has run small businesses. She’s a mom with a job. She understands what people’s lives are really like.”

In other words, she’s like most of us.

It’s PDS! Another liberal mouth has been struck down with this ailment. Poor man. Tisk! Tisk!

[Danae]

BAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh now that was funny! Um hum.... yea.... CBS doesn't get the fact that America no longer BELIEVES what they say!

[xcamel]

Man, are they scared $h1tle$$ - NY - the gap has closed to 5 points!!

Studebaker stopped making cars in 1965 - they just could not compete in the marketplace anymore.

CBS will stop broadcasting before Sarah Palin exits the public stage. They cannot compete in the news marketplace anymore.

Is Studebaker completely out of business? No, the remnants of the company now manufacture STP.

I'm sure CBS will still manufacture something like ‘Gay Sex Lube’ or communist comics - items MUCH less useful than STP but right up CBS's sphincter, if you know what I mean.

Fine work, P.J. And nice touch about finding out that the guy had predicted that YouTube was a fad that would die. I don't suppose this guy will get a front-row invitation to the Palin inauguration, now will he?

Latest article, "I, Obama"

It is a universe in which the media somehow built up Sarah Palin and in which the public will also become bored with her.

Didn't this dolt listen to her speech? She doesn't really care about the media, and no, the media didn't "make" her. Like Rush Limbaugh says, don't let the media make you--and they can't break you.

The writer who said this is dreaming. Palin stands or falls on her own accord, and the media won't affect my opinion. And I'm not alone, there are millions like me.

I can tell you this, since she joined the ticket, I've given substantially more money to the McCain campaign/RNC...and I've put a yard sign up, put on my bumper sticker, and will be contacting my local office to work for the Republican party this campaign...

I honestly was going to sit this election out as far as giving and volunteering...but now, I am ready to work.

Nope, it's Obama-logic ... at right angles to the rest of the universe.

Kinda like being raised in Hawaii and going to an Ivy league school. Then moving to the south side of Chicago for a 20K job a year.

Who in the hell would think of doing THAT??

[Alouette]

These shoes were made for walkin'

[ml/nj]

These guys think everything is slick marketing and packaging, and that like hula-hoops and cabbage patch dolls the Lady Palin's Star will fade.

They just don't understand.

Dinosaur media alert.
We don't care about your pathetic spin bub.

[Monti Cello]

This is unlikely.

Palin's popularity is based on her lifetime of experiences (varied they are), and her substantive achievements as a governor.

While she could flub during the campaign, these basic factors are etched in stone. Her buzz derives from the unlikelihood of someone with her background getting a nod for the VP slot. But the background is established.

Obama, by contrast, is a chimera. His background is mostly unknown - he has minimal accomplishments, and his symbolic value is based on shallow factors - speechifying, and the color of his skin. Empty suit, flash in the pan, leftist prop.
