I remember a few enthusiastic posts on sites like FR. I don't remember Fred pulling crowds like this:
I’m not attacking Palin here, but just a warning to Freepers - don’t put all your eggs in the Palin basket. She’s just one possibility for 2012. Remember how excited everyone was for Fred Thompson, and how quickly he fizzled.
Agreed. Nice though to see her rapid response team in action. Soooooooo different than the way the other BS “scandals’ were handled.
Yeap, I remember. However, it seems to me like Thompson was dragged ‘kicking and screaming’ into the primaries and never really had any real intention of winning. I can’t understand how he got there in the first place.
Think about it—Thompson failed to gain support in the media and amongst the masses who believe the media because he lacked charisma.
Palin is just the opposite—she has proven star quality, and she’s a true conservative. This is why the liberal media are so afraid of her, and why we will continue to see them twist and contort the truth in their desperate attempts to discredit her.
Everyone was thinking they were going to get the Fred Thompson from the Die Hard movie. Instead, they got a tired guy who didn’t want it.
I don’t believe these would be issues with Gov Palin. And lets face it, we need a candidate who can stand on the stage and command an audience the way that Zero does. Unless you want the Obama “swatting at flies” effect like he had with McCain.
Then there’s the Palin daughter who, if her Greta interview is any indication, apparently thinks, even today, that abstinence education is for the birds, that kids like her are going to have sex no matter what. She has yet to get married even though she’s the mother of an illegitimate baby. Lots of Palin family values on display here.
Palin appoints a pro-abortion judge and people on this forum will continue to support her as a family values candidate and bash Romney who had to work with an extremely liberal legislature and probably was forced into political decisions that went against his conservative Mormon faith. What hypocrisy.
It seems to me that the Romney sons are all married, responsible adults, which suggests to me that if voters are looking for an extraordinarily well-qualified candidate whose family life reflects conservative values, they ought to look to Mitt Romney, not Palin.
Palin’s sun has set. She was a one election cycle wonder whom the press successfully portrayed as a lightweight and a joke. She can’t overcome that image any more than Dan Quayle could. She’s a candidate whose ambition exceeds her prospects and her abilities. She’s unelectable. Move on, people.
Absolutely correct, my FRiend. I sure do like her, though. She is making the right moves, too: staying out of the spotlight, focusing on ACTUAL RESULTS rather than perception. Then again, Americans seem recently to thrive on perception sans real results...

One thing for sure, I hope Dems and Independents don’t pick the Republican candidate again; otherwise, we’ll get another McCain.
We need to tell the Republican Party to stop the open primaries in the states that have them.
I remember in 2000 how everybody was excited for W. That didn’t turn out so well either.
Palin is the ultimate outsider. I don't see anyone else having the guts to challenge the corrupt, broken system in Washington.
Hey CNN has what they call damning video of Sarah in a Alaska Church prior to going into politics. She is totally pro life, anybody that suggests she is not, is being dishonest.
This was not aimed at anyone in particular
