(DALLAS) Sarah Palin’s favorite movies are “Hoosiers” and “Rudy”, and just like the underdog protagonists in those sports classics, she doesn’t want to give up.
Palin told Fox News’ Carl Cameron that she disagreed with the McCain campaign’s decision to pull its advertising and staffers out of Michigan, effectively ceding the state to Barack Obama.
“I fired off a quick email and said, ‘Oh, come on. You know, do we have to? Do we have to call it there?’” Palin said.
Palin said the move to pull out of the state that was narrowly won by Democrats in the last four presidential elections was no surprise, given the Republican ticket’s lagging poll numbers there. But until very recently, Michigan had been one of the McCain campaign’s prime blue-state targets. Palin’s disappointment in the decision to give up on winning there was palpable.
“Todd and I, we’d be happy to get to Michigan and walk through those plants of the car manufacturers,” Palin said. “We’d be so happy to get to speak with the people there in Michigan who are hurtin’ because the economy is hurtin’.”
Palin said that she and her husband could relate to people in the state where the economy has been struggling even longer and more severely than it has in the country as a whole.
“I want to get back to Michigan and I want to try,” Palin said.
Ping
I think “Operation: Free Sarah” has been a success.
This was orchestrated. The Reagan Democrats in Michigan will love her.
you have to love her moxie....
The Republicans have plenty of money. All they have to do is depress turnout in Detroit by mentioning Kilpatrick over and over.
As my baseball hero would have said...........There it goes.....it’s goooooing, gooooooing GONE out of da park for a home run! !
Interesting thought--why mot just send Todd for a week to visit factories? No speeches--just shop talk.
Can we somehow switch the ticket? Palin/McCain 08
When Obama ruins the country over the next 4 years, Sarah will be elected in ‘12. I’ll just sleep until then. ;)
I’m a skeptic on this. This is theatre, pure and simple. A set up to create dialog on how Sarah turns the tide.
I hope it works :)
“This was orchestrated. The Reagan Democrats in Michigan will love her”.
...that never crossed my mind. You really think the McCain campaign is smart enough to do this?
Pinch me and tell me that it’s John McCain at the top of this ticket.
Sarah, you and Todd are welcome back to Michigan!
Get her there for a week, with the local media fawning for her, and watch the Dems go NUTZ!
Todd standing at the UNION FACTORY GATES every afternoon, shaking hands, and her commanding the TV coverage every evening for a week while reminding Michiganders of WHY they are in thier mess in the first place, could pretty much put the state in the R column...
Stabenow would probably have a stroke.
GO SARAH GO!
DO YOUR OWN THING
YOU ARE NOT RUNNING FOR VP IN 2008 YOU ARE RUNNING FOR PRES. IN 2012 STARTING NOW!
(as long as Nibiru doesn’t smack the earth in December you can move into the white house in January)
Sarah, come on now. You know how John feels about being a partisan. Stick to John’s plan for winning this election, you know, poking his thumb in the eye of your supporters and expecting adulation from his favorite constituent the MSM. /s
Until about 8 ET on the morning after the DNC, everyone thought Pawlenty or Romney was the VP pick.
Look how CBS is now quoting her by using the “accent” - dropping the “ing.” That’s intentional - and designed to suggest she’s a hick.
Hek, Palin is coming HERE tomorrow!!! (SoCal!) Let her go to MI!
I was thinking the same thing....priming the pump so-to-speak!
It was also noted that CBS includes her “ums” in transcripts while deleting the “ums” from O’Biden
McCain ....send Sarah to Michigan.....
or perhaps she’s been freed
I totally agree with your assessment. She and Todd will tour that state and win hearts, minds and VOTES!
Bang!
you betcha!
Palin is a leader and she has conviction.
She will be the first woman president of the US.
Her gut reaction on this is absolutely correct and McCain’s campaign, which did well early, is faltering lately.
People in Michigan tell me tht the time is ripe with discord over Kwame etc.
McCain is totally over reacting to this poll surge, 3% of which is total BS anyway.
This woman is the only bright spot on that ticket.

Oooh, here’s a campaign thought. Send Sarah back to Detroit in a vintage Hemi Cuda.
Woman has spunk
Let her go
Good catch. Then there is the “uh”-master - Barry O.
Good catch. Then there is the “uh”-master - Barry O.
LET HER LOOSE ON MICHIGAN
Palin should TAKE OVER the campaign, and CARRY MCCAIN OVER HER SHOULDERS if she has to!
WE CANT LET NOBAMA AND HIS ‘CHE-LOVERS’ TAKE OVER THIS COUNTRY.
This election is NOT ABOUT MCCAIN (keep repeating that over and over). This election is about NOBAMA and the CHE-LOVERS!!!!
The whole problem with Michigan, is that the USA has lost too many of it’s jobs to third world countries, but this is true in other states as well. USA is not solving the problems. but the jobs have left over a period of at least 30 years. We have citizens who have never had a decent job, and who have never married, and still live with parents, because of no jobs available. When will the USA wise up and stop being willing to be a third world country?
The casino-finanicial groups have turned into robbers. This financial package can not heal this problem. It just can not!
Both are genuine American classics...past and present.
I think sending Todd to the factories would be a stroke of genius. The men would envy him and the women would drool over him. What a change from the typical D.C. politician who deigns to visit “ordinary people” from on high once every four years.
Just WOW!! The lady is a fighter and doesn't want to give up. Turn her loose, John!!
"No"
Wow, you're as cynical as me. ;)
They ought to double her SS protection
The left wings constant barrage of hatred on the TV and Supermarket Tabloids can trigger the deranged
The dead Detoilet voters don't care, they'll vote commiecRAT no matter what the living say, or do.
[Vision]: A union guy jawboning with other union guys how they do things in Alaska...and if his wife is elected, they will do what they can to help Michigan get back online...
I was born and raised in Michigan [northeast of Detoroit] and they're good hard-working people that have just been led poorly and sold a bill of bad goods.
Please here me—we are not giving up on Michigan! This is where I live, I refuse to give up. I believe anything is possible, especially if those of faith get up and get out the vote! Detroit is not Michigan—giving up on Michigan is a sign of weakness.
Takes a hockey mom to restore a hockey town. (Although MoTown is currently stuck on stupid gear with all 4 flats).
I’ve always equated Governor Palin to Gene Hackman in Hoosiers. They wanted to run him out of town on a rail and in the town meeting they vote him out. Then Jimmy decides to come back and play and the one towny says, “I told you’d he’d come back as soon as we got rid of him.” Then Jimmy replies, “I play, Coach stays. He goes, I go.” Then they flash to the first dude with that look on his face.
