Sarah Palin: Mr. President: Please Try, "I'm Listening, People," Instead of "Listen Up, People!"

Sarah Palin's Notes ^ | January 25, 2010 | Sarah Palin

[Dr. North]

The premise that only big names from the last Presidential election have a chance in the next one is what got McCain the nomination.

[N. Theknow]

0bama's first year has been one "Blame Bush"..."the situation we inherited"..."when we took office"...exercise in scapegoating and ducking responsibility.

To be blunt...If I wanted someone to complain to me about the past, I would have voted for my ex-wife.

[allmendream]

“Maybe it was unfair to expect that an administration with so little private sector experience would understand something about job creation.”

Ouch... that had to hurt! :)

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Then name someone who even comes remotely close to matching Sarah and Romney's sheer horsepower. Huck? Pawlenty? DeMint? Pence?

Not even close.

[Dr. North]

Horsepower?

You are approaching it all wrong.

Again, the approach that you advocate is what got McCain nominated.

No doubt people attributed ‘horsepower’ to him.

[sarah fan UK]

Just name some up and comers then. Can’t be that hard?

[Dr. North]

I have.

Mike Pence.

[rbmillerjr]

LOL...Great conservative...

Not a chance to be president.

It’ not rocket science...It’s going to be Palin or Romney.

[Dr. North]

Why not a chance?

Lack of national name recognition?

If so, that is a daffy way to select a nominee.

Once things get rolling, whoever the nominee is will have all the publicity in the world.

Nmae recognition will be guaranteed for them.

And other than name recognition, what are you attributing to Sarah and Mitt that inspires you to annoint them now?

[NeoCaveman]

I don’t like that she supports McCain. At all. But I’ve got news for you, if you agree with another person 100% of the time, it’s because you’re looking in the mirror when you’re talking.

Right on. Right on.

[sarah fan UK]

Thank you.

[Hotmetal]

BURN!

[kevkrom]

Mike Pence.

If he runs for Senate and beats Bayh, maybe. Maybe. And even then, he'll be pulling an "Omaba" to do so.

But no U.S. House member has ever won the Presidency, and for good reason -- people expect at least a statewide office, specifically governor or U.S. Senator, before promotion to the "big time".

[Dr. North]

The phrase “no _________ has ever won the Presidency” doesn’t really hold water these days.

[Dr. North]

You’re welcome. Who do you want to be the nominee?

[kevkrom]

The phrase “no _________ has ever won the Presidency” doesn’t really hold water these days.

Yeah, well good luck with that. Talk to the Duncan Hunter supporters about how well that went for them. They were all saying the same things.

[Dr. North]

You write as though every Congressman was the same.

[kevkrom]

They’re the same enough, in terms of this discussion.

Let me turn the question around on you — what advantages does Pence have that Hunter didn’t? (Or, looking at the opposite side of the aisle, how about ill-fated runs such as Dick Gephardt’s?)

[Dr. North]

Charisma, ability to handle the media, ability to draw a big fan base, ability to communicate a good agenda in a way that resonates with the American people.
