And for the record, you comparing Eisenhower running of a world war to Mrs. Palin’s role for the last 2 years, that is what is ridiculous.

Even great tactician miss one here and there, and I agree Rove was wrong with ODonnell...

Good.

But the notion that Palin is equal to Rove in terms of Political Strategy is just nonsense to anyone willing to be intellectually serious.

It's become obvious to many reasonable people that Rove doesn't understand the current political dynamics. Times change. Rove appears not to understand what is going on.

She has been more valuable to the country, being part of the daily Obama resistance, than remaining as governor of Alaska. It was the right move.

Sort of like the ends justify the means? That type of mindset one never wants as their CinC. Trust me.

Stepping up and doing what's best for the country, you bet I want that kind of CiC.

Hate to break it to you, but our country is in graver danger now than it was in 1942. We need a lot more Sarah Palins, she can’t do it by herself.

The Iraq war, or, more specifically, the desire to stay in Iraq after we accomplished our objectives, is what had Bush’s popularity under 30% in 2006.

Rove and the neocons did not make things better for Bush in 2006 or 2008.

Rove is a turncoat, a traitor and the conservatives’ enemy at this point. He loves RINOs and hates Palin because she has called the bastard out. He might be right that COD might not win, but he can go F himself for being a selfish pig and doing his best to make her loose. Screw Rove and the rest of the DC pundits.

Go Palin!

Sorry, Charlie, name calling is still not an argument. You can call people names all day, but doing so does not make an argument in support of the proposition that O’Donnell will win. Still, I’m not too surprised you think name calling is making such an argument.

Name calling is also not an argument in favor of supporting O’Donnell. I actually do support O’Donnell (although it is in spite of, not because of, folks who insist on calling everyone who does not support her “RINOS,” or “liberals,” or such). I just do not think she will win.

The notion that she is a "master" political tactician is just hyperbole. And not needed on our side.

She is a MASTER politician. If not for Sarah Palin the Republican party might right now be a smoldering pile of RINOs with a tea party trying to win 6 seats in the house.

Palin convinced all the disenfranchised republicans to stick it out, fight and she endorsed tea party candidates which gave the disenfranchised republicans a taste of victory in the primaries.

She has done more for this country in the past 2 years than anyone I can think of.

But you can look at Palin’s tactics, after the fact, and see the results have devastated her opponents.

Your trolling history says different, as you knock the conservative candidate from thread to thread.

Wrong. Zarqawi and AQI were still very much alive and strong in 2006. We had not accomplished our goals in Iraq by then. In fact, it was in 2006/07 that Iraq was finally won! (I was there). GWB did it exactly right with Iraq and seeing it through. History will be very kind to him, because of his leadership in this regard.

It was immigration reform that kept our base home. It was immigration reform that dropped GWB into the 30%, not Iraq.

Well, lets just hope Sarah can deliver us her very own, very RED State, Senate seat. If she has the influence you suggest how is a write in candidate neck in neck with her sponsored guy (in her OWN State).

Here’s an article on it at the time - May 2006. The article doesn’t say anything about any reason why his popularity might be low. I would’ve guessed that immigration reform was after May 2006.

Thank you Christine and everyone who stepped out of their private lives and entered a very difficult pursuit of public office in order to restore our nation. You are courageous and super patriots! The Founding Fathers would be very proud. You did a hard thing.

Don’t pop his bubble, he thinks Carl is a genius.

You mean can she take an unknown conservative and guarantee his victory over an incumbent Republican Senator that was just basically endorsed and embraced by establishment Senate Republicans? Palin did give him the primary, but he hurt himself by then distancing himself from her as his rookie instincts took over, and he started playing up to Murkowski voters too strongly.

What I hear and read in your posts, is an anti-conservative bias, you are hoping that Murkowski wins reelection in Alaska because not only does that keep that seat moderate, but you hope that it weakens the conservative’s top candidate for President.

He showed a heck of a lot of emotion and not real commentary on Hannity that first appearance after the win. So, I guess that makes us just human, like the rest out there!

There is no problem with emotion, as long as you do not use it to decide your vote. Emotion just might get you off the chair and at the voter’s tent.
