I agree about her not running. For the last year or more I’ve been saying it and been attacked by some in here for stating what seems pretty obvious to many of us. Outside of her hard core base, Palin is viewed as a bad candidate. The media, with some help from Palin herself, were successful in making her into the image that they desired. Her image has been so tarnished that the most recent Rasmussen polling from last week has her losing to Obama by 17 points! No other ‘candidate’ trails Obama by more that single digits.

Mr. Army Old Vet:
You are not in the army anymore & do not have to take your orders from the media. It was the media that decided the last election & it is the media that distorts whatever it wishes to. Look at this hurricane coverage on every channel reporting what? But, the narrative is that Obama is in control. If you can’t trust that Americans will make the right decision when it comes to more debt and less government, individual responsibility verses government mandates, then the media can continue distorting and destroying whomever they choose because you & others only see what they tell you to see, and the end product is deriding and refusing to investigate that what is being told, may not be the whole picture. Obvious? Is it really?

She’s only viewed as a bad national candidate because she was handled quite poorly by McCain’s handlers. As the one on top of the ticket it was his prerogative to run his campaign the way he wanted. Thus, we’ve never really seen a “Palin” campaign in a national race. You need to look to her running style in Alaska to understand how she runs a campaign. Anyone who can unseat a powerful sitting governor is someone with political savvy. Nothing is carved in stone and media created perceptions can change. Look at the media’s portrayal of Reagan vs. the opinion of the people. The same can be said of 0bama but in the opposite direction. If you’re basing your perception on her VP run with McCain then your perceptions are wrong.

And I further predict that you will eventually stop eating his buggers.
