“She can get those Independenta and moderates. She was too new to the scene but if she does decide to run, she will be doing lots of interviews and primary debates.”
It amazed me how little the campaign talked about Palin’s reform record in Alaska. After the convention, I’m not sure I heard it mentioned once.
THAT would have brought independents over, yet we failed to even use it.
She was the VP CANDIDATE. that was not her job.
Palin - Jindal 2012! Dethrone the anti-Christ!
Coulter said the GOP ran "Caligula's Horse", LOL!
Sarah Palin was the closest to a Conservative cadidate on the ticket, and a vast majority of the ENTIRE electorate responded favorably.
Somewhere Mitt Romney is crying...
The perfect ticket, IMHO; with the more experienced governor at the top of the ticket, as shown! ;)
(click the pic)
I thoguht the VP candidate was to shore up the ticket. Almost 30% fewer Alaskan voters voted for her in 2008 than voted for W in 2004. Not that 3 electorial votes count for much and the ticket already won them, but Alaskans didn’t show up in droves to support her.
... and yet, somehow, I'll be sleeping soundly tonight regardless. ;)
Hey Noonan, Parker, Krauth, Barnes... stick it!!!! Here’s proof you elitist snobs are wrong.
Sorry, but Louisiana has a more diverse population than Alaska, and if Jindal can manage the racial issues in Louisiana, combined with overcoming Louisiana's heritage of government corruption, that would give Jindal a huge advantage over Palin.
There are Democrats in Alaska too. you know ?
McCain is the reason Sarah lost
I then asked him if he felt the same way about Martin Luther King. He was guided by his values and principle, look at his speeches and how many times he referenced God. Look at what guided Abraham Lincoln to free slaves, Reagan, list can go on and on. He could not name one Godless person who did anything great for any nation or anything.
He accepted and agreed with argument and said he understands the press went after her, he would judge her in 2012 on what she does in Alaska
Side note: I'm finding a lot of people on the left are willing to listen better now that Obama elected, I think they are scared, now is time to talk to people about why conservative value make this country great. This guy would just argue before, he even said Obama’s proposed economic policies would be bad, but He think Obama will do the right thing and change. Wow after all the arguments we had during the campaign.
I disagree. Jindal is 7 years younger than Palin. and far less charismatic.
She’s not running for President and with all the $hit that’s gone on in the 8 years and that last minute eco crisis, you’re expectations are unrealistic.
You're forgiven. I'm confident saner heads will prevail, nonetheless. ;)
After the very clever way all the nominees were defamed and McCain was all that was left, I changed my way and attempted to support him holding my nose. McCain is an stubborn foolish old man who is a RINO. Palin held his butt up and I give McCain no credit for the votes the ticket got.
