"Well, bless his heart. We love our friends there in the machine that the expert politicos -- those who say the GOP nominee is unelectable or that they're not gonna even try. Well, I say 'buck up,'" Sarah Palin said on FOX News Channel.

I’m from Boston and I get the impression that if we said the northern equivalent to each other in a bar up here there would be fisticuffs. ;)

He dug his own grave and today he was literally throwing dirt on his corpse.

It's like that old saying goes, when you find yourself in a hole you should stop digging.

[paulycy]

I am smiling. I didn’t know you liked her!

Oh, yeah. Sarah is a breath of fresh air. And I was incensed by the political assassination (apparently unsuccessful) that the bulk of the media and politicos tried to inflict upon her.

I fully support having Sarah do whatever she wants to do politically. My only reservation - and I have this reservation for every person alive - is that I won't commit to supporting her for any elected office unless and until she actually runs and is the best, most conservative choice.

Beyond that: GO SARAH!

(Here's my favorite political cartoon:)

Buck Up

She should have told him to Buck OBB!

[Ditto]

Phrasal Verb:
buck up
To summon one’s courage or spirits; hearten: “My friends tried to buck me up after I lost the contest.”

[Unkosified]

Go Sarah! I wish I had a quarter of her energy and moxie.

[ExGeeEye]

Beg pardon...
what’s Friday?

I’m a Southern California transplant to the deep South, but within the social circles I travel, the phrase “bless her/his heart” is the preface to a brilliant lashing/trashing of someone or the ending phrase of the brilliant lashing/trashing of the same person.

Sarah has a speech in Iowa. Will be on C-SPAN.

[onyx]

Ok. Yes, she and DeMint have formed a mutual admiration pact of their very own. I like it.

They’re a good team.

[onyx]

Go Sarah! I wish I had a quarter of her energy and moxie

Don't we all?

I'm just thrilled and grateful that she has *it*!

GO SARAH!!

[onyx]

For some reason, (ego?) he just can’t sit down and shut-up...LOL.

[Gator113]

Yes, I read that it was like cutting the other persons throat. LOL I liked it.

[onyx]

Right. :)

[Lakeshark]

DeMint likes Sarah Palin?

Pissant and Rabadash Rabs are going to be committing suicide if this keeps up..........

Steele seems to get it:

From: Michael Steele, RNC Chairman

Subject:
Congratulations to Christine O’Donnell and Delaware GOP Candidates

Dear xxxxxx,

Congratulations to Christine O’Donnell and all of our Republican nominees in Delaware on their primary victories last night.

The people of Delaware have spoken. And just like voters across America, they are demanding commonsense conservative candidates who will focus on the issues that matter most to them: creating jobs, turning the economy around and protecting our most cherished freedoms.

Christine O’Donnell is exactly that type of candidate and the RNC is proud to support her and our entire slate of Republican candidates in Delaware. But with only 48 days until Election Day, time is running out for Republican grassroots leaders like you to help the RNC provide Christine and all our candidates with the campaign resources and direct financial assistance they need to win.

[onyx]

Ya know, I’m still trying to guess...but I think I’ve cracked the code...LOL.

[onyx]

Apparently, he likes her. He’s praised her on two or three separate days now.

[onyx]

Yes, he does, and than you for adding his letter to this thread.

[Lakeshark]

I gathered that, and it doesn't surprise me at all. I can imagine they might work together extremely well.

PissRabs (my new abbreviation) are deeply saddened........
