It does appear that former governor and GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah “you betcha” Palin will be throwing her beauty pageant sash into the presidential ring. She has added veteran Republican strategist Michael Glassner to serve as chief-of-staff for her political action committee, Sarah PAC, and steer her political operation. For the political insiders this is the strongest indication yet that Sarah Palin is seriously laying the groundwork for a serious bid for the white house. Unfortunately, she is probably the most disastrous of the current crop of possible GOP hopefuls and in my humble opinion would stand absolutely no chance in the general election. I will even venture to say that I don’t think she’ll make it out of the primaries. She is mistaking the general support the Right gives her as a person of character and cheerleader Tea Party as political support for a presidential bid. I submit to you the two are not the same and she will find this out the hard way. And if by some miracle she were to get the nod to lead the Republican party into the next general election we will witness a most embarrassing of electoral trouncings since Mondale got crushed by Reagan.
I defend Palin vigorously from the hatred and smears from the Left and admire her commitment to what is right and true. For the most part I share her politics, values, and ideology. And I think she makes a great fundraiser and cheerleader for the Right in general and the Tea Party in particular. But she had her chance for glory and success on the national stage and frankly blew it.

The fact is, she *does* lack as thorough an understanding of some subjects as I’d like to see. Would that stop me from voting for her?
Absolutely not, as she would certainly make the right decisions on most issues.
However, it’s a tough hurdle for independents.
Thank you for pinging 2ndDivisionVet!
Talking to you is just like shooting fish in a barrel.
You don't know the difference between prospective Presidential polls a year-and-a-half out, and exit polling?
Of course, you probably don’t know the significance of MOE.
Proof that you are a liberal troll who is losing.
Liberals love to lead off with the supercilious "you probably don't know..."
(44-43) is an absolute tie, especially when you consider the “no sure” category. When faced with hard data like that, it is laughable to say that he would have lost.
"no sure" != "hard data".
You might want to upgrade your rural neural network, I can smell the wires burning.
I'll wait.
Cheers!
Well, they've certainly effected a great degradation in your spelling...
Yep, if she's so unelectable, why are they still trashing her, to the point of libel and slander concerning the Giffords shooting?
And about that "getting away with it": in your KOS kiddie wet dreams, pal. When was the last time you saw Alan Dershowitz (faculty, Harvard Law) *defend* a conservative in public?
He stood up for Sarah.
Nice try, though.
Cheers!
Cheers!
Now spelling? Grow up. You are the kind of person who will ensure Obama wins in 2012. Congrats.
Exit polling? Do you mean the 44-43 within the MOE. If you actually knew anything about polling, you would know that you couldn't draw any conclusion whatsoever from a poll that close.
As for the rest of your Ad Hominem screed... it's nothing more than the juvenile banter of a sad individual who has hopelessly conceded their position.
You got caught, got called on it, now you are projecting. Nice try, but no one is buying it.
Why are you posting to “all”?
If you want to bite the hand that feeds you, go ahead.
Cheers!
Kind of like a PanzerKampfWagen Mk II going against an A-10 Warthog.
Cheers!
To hell with the left, it's what's coming from the GOP Elites who
are trying to mold the O-12 election for the next candidate.
The GOP has been infiltrated by the left, PERIOD!
Yawn
That’s probably the best response. You have someone who worships a person as a religious figure. There isn’t any reasoning with that. Then it’s off to the confirmation bias races.
We need to beat Obama period - whoever that person is i will vote for. if its Sarah, fine, if its Pee Wee Herman, fine. if its vandersloot or madoff, fine.
We cant afford a 1964esqe election with 2 SC picks at play.
“There is no way Palin would win. The liberal media has donme its dirty work on her and too many people in this country are too lazy to think for themselves and find out the truth. “
That’s just plane stupid. What make you think they won’t do the same hatchet job on any conservative? Perhaps we should pick a RINO so that won’t happen...
Think before you post is always good advice.
Um, you should start thinking. They have had 2+ years of doing their number on Palin. Who else have they done that too? Who said picking a RINO? You should also learn to read and start thinking with your head and not your heart. Not to mention I don’t recall saying I was happy with what they have done to Palin. But I don’t see her with a chance and no one I know feels that way too and they aren’t democrats either. You want Obama to win in 2012, vote for Romney or Palin.
