Today’s BFO (Blinding Flash of the Obvious): McCain’s campaign staff was out of touch with the base. Duh.
Four years of highern taxes under Obama, coupled with their increasing weariness of being called "RACIST!!!" every five minutes under the new ideological regime, will change that. ;)
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.
If she does well those minds will change about her.
I WANT THAT PIN!!!
He is appealing to many. Not to me, but I can understand what people see in him. If only more would realize that he is a
liberal leaning RINO, and thus part of the problem. He isn’t a bad guy... but if we put him on the first place of the ticket, we’ll have another lost election, I fear. He would be good as Treasury Secretary maybe, but we need a young Reaganite on the ticket.
She got almost 30% fewer votes in this election than Bush did in 2004.And a handful more than Bush in 2000. Alaskan’s maybe weren’t so happy to have their native daughter in DC?
Well, of course. We all knew this.
And the reason why they think that way....can we have a roll call please......It's called the CNNN factor. Certainly Not Neutral News.
LOL. you just want to cuddle up to moderate voters dont you ?
You ever notice when we give the American public Diet Coke (Bob Dole, John McCain, Gerald Ford) we get pounded. But when we give them the real thing (Ronald Reagan Conservatism) we are able to win.
“And it won’t be Romney or Huckabee.”
We agree on one thing anyway. I think Huckabee has ended his political career by taking the Fox gig.
Romney? IMHO, Romney would split the party as badly as McCain did. Only problem is I don’t think there is a “Palin” type politician Romney could nominate as VP to reunite the party behind the ticket (they way Palin did for McCain.)
McCain was Bob Dole but without Dole’s “dynamic charisma”.
This tells me she could potentially win the primary, only to be trounced in the general. Unfair, but that’s just the way it is, as Bruce Hornsby might say.
The chattering class and disgruntled McCain campagn staff (= the losers) disagree.
I think it all depends on how the next 4 years go...if things are lookin’ good for Obama (50% plus approval, economy stable), I think Romney needs to be our Bob Dole and run...if everything’s going down the tubes and we’ve spent a ton of money on our ground game, we should push for a full Conservative ticket and roll the dice...magritte
Palin 2012!
That’s why we remind them about the tens of millions of us out here who support Governor Palin.. I want to dwarf the dozen or so elitist snobs who are dragging her through the mud.
Nothing in the article referenced gives any such indication. Explain.
People would have said the same thing about Reagan in 1976.
I have a premonition as well...it's call dollar signs and I see them going to Alaska for the next four years.
I would support that 100%. Gov Palin brought energy to the ticket I have not seen in years. Look at the crowds that turned out to see her. She is a rising star in the GOP and probably why all the potshots. Some former candidates know that she would beat them hands down.
She needs to come down to the lower 48 and campaign for candidates in 2010 and collect those IOU’s for 2012.
