Who says a Palin / Norris ticket wouldn’t win?

I think they would drive the biggest GOP landslide in election history.

Besides I thought of another interesting benefit:

So far all the catty “Palin-bashing” I’ve seen from alleged conservatives, for the most part has been from Mittens. Female Mitt Romney supporters who like his hair, and don’t like the fact Sarah Palin’s hair is even nicer.

Well, Chuck Norris is far more appealing to Mittens than Romney. So in one fell swoop, the ticket would completely remove a segment of Palin-bashers from the dynamic.

Importantly, from the *primary*.

Just saying. I’m not joking about a Palin / Norris ticket.

The combination would be literally unstoppable.

Wouldn’t that be a nice change?

A GOP ticket, everyone could be enthusiastic about...

When the mother isn’t on welfare and is getting married and is being supported by her Christian family and church.

The Alaska Secession movement must be looking pretty good to her about now. I’d move there. Maybe Alaska could actually adopt and follow the U.S. Constitution minus every amendment added since the Bill of Rights. Yes, including the thirteenth, which is redundant if you read the original document anyway.

[MrB]

Look at it as a compliment.

They would just ignore her if they didn’t see her as a threat.

Thats not why I posted the article. I did so to point out background checks on all that would hold public office should done, by multiple entity’s, from PACs to the party’s themselves, on both the party’s nominees and the party’s opposition.

hee hee!
Good luck with that.

We’re talking about politicians afterall.

Yes, this is the reason the media hated both Palin and her daughter the most. They both are living proof that abortion (child-killing) is unnecessary.

[Badeye]

Sorry, I just took a chance on McLame, and lost.

I’m not interested in ‘experimenting’ politically the next time around. Had my fill of it this last time, from Thompson’s ‘walking for President’ schtick, to Huckabee’s assine runnin’ with God bs, to Rudy’s ‘one state, cause I’m a celebrity’ nonsense.

We (Conservatives) win with high quality conservative tickets, backed up with a VP that has loads of experience. That was the secret of Reagan.

Wasn't Obama's mama 17-years-old and unmarried ...UNTIL she "married" a married man with children?

[MrB]

They both are living proof that abortion (child-killing) is unnecessary.

And by choosing not to kill their unborn, they inherently "condemn" those that have done so. This is why many "liberal" women vehemently, viciously, hate her.

[Badeye]

I just know she was a skank.

In the 1970’s, the media covered Billy Carter urinating on the wall of a building in Plains Georgia. In 2008, the media covered themselves urinating on every building in Wasilla, Alaska. Where's the lesson?

[Badeye]

If you can’t see it, don’t know what to tell ya.

[Skid Marx]

Aside from the opening sentences, the article has nothing to do with Palin at all. In fact, it seems that a background check would highlight the Governor as being the one VP candidate who was politically bulletproof. Now that I know her, I wish she was governor in my state. The Anti-Blago, so to speak. None of the slander thrown at Palin had any basis in her CV. It was all gossip rag type crap that could be screwed up to damage anybody. The proof is here in Illinois, where Roland Burris, a long time pal of the establishment, suddenly found himself getting the Palin Treatment by those same hypocrites. Plain old treachery, but on a MSM scale.

Maybe you should do some factchecking yourself. As I recall, when the Bristol-Palin-is-pregnant story broke before the Convention, it very clickly became known that she had been upfront with McCain from the getgo. She assumed that the fact that her daughter was pregnant would foreclose any possibliity of Sarah Palin being nominated for VP. McCain and his advisers, with full knowledge, decided that it would not be a deal-breaker. So "poor vetting" was not involved on this issue at all. Posting this article makes no sense whatsoever.

[Badeye]

I agree completely.

You have mail.

The Democratic Party’s background check should have found that Edwards was boffing the help.

[an amused spectator]

They may have even convinced the GOP that Palin is now too "damaged" by this nonstop media rape to be a viable candidate in the future.

I would actively campaign AGAINST the GOP candidate locally if this were to happen.

It's my belief that politics is over, anyway. I'm pretty sure that the Democrat Congress is going to open the illegal immigrant floodgates in 2009 in order to complete the destruction of the election process.

Ironically, one of the major constituencies of the Democrat Party will have to take its rightful place at the back of the bus... ;-)
