Palin's decision to blanket the state with appearances -- and the rock-star reception she is receiving -- speaks to two basic facts about the former vice presidential nominee: she is beloved by the base of the party and she has absolutely no intention of stepping off the national stage any time soon.
While Palin has been widely derided by many political commentators and many Democrats, it's hard to dispute that there is no more appealing face for the party faithful at the moment than her's.
Though few in the GOP base would admit it publicly, there is a significant weariness with President George W. Bush and, to a lesser extent, Sen. John McCain. Palin represents something totally different -- in the way she looks, the way she talks and in her résumé.
"She's a very, very fresh face for every Republican, and some independents, said Fred Davis, the lead media consultant for McCain's presidential race. "She is a breath of fresh air."
And, remember, that runoff elections are fundamentally a fight between the two parties' bases; turnout is a HUGE problem for both sides in runoffs so any politician who can provide a jolt of energy to the base -- a la Palin -- is a hugely valuable commodity for a politician like Chambliss
The interest in Palin from those who count themselves loyal Republican footsoldiers is compounded by the Alaska governor's clear desire to remain a player (and potential candidate) in the party for years to come.
She's been bitten hard by the political bug and is willing to endure long plane rides to stay in the national game," said Phil Musser, a GOP media consultant.

In other words, the drubbing you peckerwoods in the media thought you were giving her backfired bigtime.
That title being worded like that is insulting as hell, is the MSM still trying to degrade her even now?
Imagine the surprise in the PravdaMedia in 2012, if they would find Sarah Palin “revving up conservative the base” — and “the conservative base” is greater than 50% of the voters.
GO SARAH GO!
blanket the state? these writers just dont give up.
she showed up at 2 places while she was on her way to that governors meeting today. from what i understand they asked her to do it. it’s not like she went out of her way to intrude or step on anyone’s toes.
also, if youve ever been to Alaska from Nov-Mar, it’s not exactly a fun place. Intense cold, always dark, very depressing. So, I don’t blame her if she wants to get away every now and then.
Of course. They're scared of her.
Democrats in Alaska, such as the Dem mouthpiece Anchorage Daily are approaching derangement over Gov Palin’s popularity.
Demonically evil.
All conservatives need to understand that -- and not contribute to the sexualization (defilement) of Sarah Palin.
...OR ANY OTHER WOMAN.
Anyone know how to contact this Chris Sleazy and let him know he's a strongwomanaphobe?
Are they nuts. One thing the election did show is that many in the GOP "base" are very weary of President Bush and Sen. McCain and they are NOT reluctant to "admit" it.
-29 today. Smart critters are curled up in their nests. People are out and about as usual.
It means that she doesn’t want to see a filibuster-proof majority. These MSM clymers are stuck on stupid with this perpetual presidential horserace.
There are a multitude of bible verses that apply to Palin and how the world is treating her.
She’s a Godly woman, living her life as best as a sinner can, and she’s hated for it (2 Cor 2:14-17, Mat 5:14).
They don’t understand her, or us for liking her (John 3:19-21, John 1:5, Titus 1:15).
Jesus told us to expect this (John 15:18-25)
It is a nasty headline. Can you imagine the Post using that on a Dem? No way.
Screw 'em!
Alternate headline....”We’re scared sh@tless, Palin is here, and not going away”.
Palin does Georgia???
How demeaning!!!
Like no one would notice the take on the famous porn movie featuring a girl’s name and a city. Good God, I never thought I could despise the media more than I do now.
Though few in the GOP base would admit it publicly, there is a significant weariness with President George W. Bush and, to a lesser extent, Sen. John McCain.To a lesser extent John McPain? I don't think to a lesser extent John McPain.
McPain blew a sure thing by running as a liberal against one of the worst leftists in American history. There's nothing lesser about my weariness with John McPain.
The presstitutes are stalking this poor woman. ;^)
Sarah could win us congress in 2010, if the Rinos would let her.........
Go Saracuda.
I think its funny that Gary Trudeau is still going after in Doonesbury. If she’s such a dunce Gary why all the angst?
The comments are even more hysterical than the article.
...and makes it squeal like Ned Beatty.
Not the same as "street cred."
“She’s been bitten hard by the political bug and is willing to endure long plane rides to stay in the national game,” said Phil Musser, a former executive director at the RGA and now a GOP media consultant.
For people that make their living with words and images, I thought Mr Musser phrased a negative interpretation deliberately.
Spent one winter in Coldfoot during pipeline construction. Got down to -85. That feels entirely different from a mere -40.
Somewhere around -20, the sensation changes from "cold" to "pain". I've been in -60, and it just hurts more than -20. After a week of that, getting up to 0 means going without a coat for short periods outside.
I was in line at the bank today and they had on CNBC and there was Sarah talking about the bail outs. I caught the last, couldn’t really tell what she was talking about other than she was against bail outs. The ‘reporter’ then went on and on saying she couldn’t answer the question and showed she wasn’t ready for prime time. Then he went on to talk about the democrats in Alaska blasting her for being gone and talking care of business in her home state. It was a nasty report. They fear this woman, I think even more today than during the election.
It’s -29 right now. Squirrels and other smart people are in their nests chewing spruce cones.
Well, they are trying to make her irrelevant for the next election....cut her off at the knees, before she can even get her stride, because they know that she is really their competition.
SP is doing exactly what she needs to do right now -raising cash and enthusiasm for GOP candidates. She needs people to owe her their political lives so she can call in the favors when the time comes. It will take her at least two election cycles to build her machine. Then, with the pipeline built, she can run a monster campaign in ‘16.
Palin Does Georgia: What Does It Mean?
It means the democrats are completely wrong about Sarah not helping McLame.
Without her the McCain - Obama contest would have been a complete blowout for Obama.
The title was meant to be insulting. There is not any doubt the Lame Stream Media has shown themselves for the sorry lot that they are.
They will never make one red cent off of this American.
Palin, the one candidate with guts and spunk, reminded voters that McCain was simply the same 'ol same boring WashingtonDC cliche wrapped up in a frumpy ill-looking message and body. (shallow? yes, but true)
Ironically, Palin probably DID hurt McCain by reminding voters just how wimpy and awful McCain is on the stump... and in the halls of Congress.
she's a fiscal conservative but also a realist...she is personally against abortion and gay rights but she will not go against the court rulings, and she has proven that.....
she can appeal to all Pubs and rats as well....IF they believe in limited and honest govt.
It means... UP YOURS WAPO!
What makes Sarah Palin fresh is that she is authentic. She doesn’t con, and she doesn’t promise to lower the oceans.
‘Remember, before they hated you, they hated me’. She is strong enough not to care what or how they say it. Go Sarah.
Have any of y’all read some of the posts on that filthy blog? With all kidding aside, Demoncrats are flipping SEXIST.
that one made me laugh, Rich. :)
So apt, a new word for the dictionary.
is there an official Georgia election thread?
