Even if it were true, I would take a patriotic person with average intelligence over a genius traitor any day.
Whats this “gravitas” you mention? And why does it attach to a lightweight like Romney. It seems to be a quality more befitting an actor.
Realism is a bitch.
Hey Juan, I would give my right nut just to see Sarah debate FUBO (one on one) on live TV. Mega Super Bowl we are talking, and my money is on the Grizzly Momma. FUJW bring in on any day any time any hour, that is if your boy bama has it in him to leave the prompter at home.
Sarah Palin is the bête noire of libtardism. Many libtards express an almost violent reaction to her. The reason is not hard to imagine. She threatens their paradigm of emotionalism, secular humanism, postmodernism, altruism, collectivism, statism, and socialism. And she doesnt fit in with their agenda of central planning and control, initiation of force, violation of natural rights, wealth expropriation and redistributionism, interventionism, social engineering, paternalism, and egalitarianism.
But that still leaves a qide range of potential good conservative candidates such as...Huckabee
LOL! Stop, STOP! You're killing me! LOL In fact, to quote you...
What a laugh.
Palin is smart.
She could not get to be mayor or governor without being smart.
She is also likable.
But the nation is divided still and I do not think Palin is electable.
Regrettable, yes. Realistic, also yes.
Sarah Palin won’t “stand on the intellectual stage with Obama” because that would be beneath her intellectual stage.
Sounds like Juan is trying to get his job back at NPR.
“Oh please massa take me back. Please don’t whip me anymore massa.”
As long as Palins negatives outweight her positives for the majority of Americans, Palin will have a problem as far as presidential campaigns go.
Palin can deliver great speeches but interviews are also very very important and so are debates.
When I hear this from people on "our side," I wonder if they've seen any recent interviews with Governor Palin.
Her Nightline interview (with liberal democrat Robin Roberts) was awesome.
It will only take a couple more like this and everything from the 2008 campaign will be forgotten.
I don't see how people can believe opinions can't be changed. It was just two years ago the Republican party was said to be through, never to regain power in 50 years.
The public changes it's opinions as new facts come out. Sarah is lucky as she has the truth on her side. She is not the brainless dunce her detractors have falsely portrayed her to be.
Check this out.
But Mitt, with no money problems, yet still unable to win a primary,,,, IS somehow “electable”.
more hor$e-$hit, from O'$h!t'$ "Media" Chorus Line..
A dog-catcher; has more qualifications than O'$h!t.
"He IS the most unqualified (of any) person to walk into
any room &/or space"
The Imam, wouldn't be permitted on the same "Intellectual" Stage w/ Palin
...she's far TOO qualified.
he'll have [NO/] Teleprompter / COLB / College Transcripts / Chorus Line / (recognized)
Male Parent / (recognized) Social Security # / [/NO] (recognized) Political Accomplishments
....he'll have only hatred and loathing for America, on stage.
That's the only thing, you got right...Juan.
Regrettable, yes. Realistic, also yes.
Obama assembled a winning team, got out of their way, and won -- or the team that assembled Obama won, because he knew enough to keep out of their way.
Palin has yet to show that she can assemble such a team -- that she'd know who to pick and when to listen to them.
More importantly, there are real doubts about whether she's able to take good advice when it's given to her, to deliver the message and get out of its way.
To Palin's credit, she's more "real" and spontaneous and unscripted than other people in politics. That's why she has such a following.
But to be spontaneous in politics isn't always a good thing. It didn't work for McCain. It doesn't work for Biden either, but he's got the media on his side, so he can more or less get away with it.
It's not that Obama is a great intellect and Palin isn't. It's that he can follow the script (and, at least in the last election, he had people who could write him a winning one), while she trips herself up (at least as far as half the population is concerned).
Frankly, with the state of the economy right now, I question the smarts of those liberal elites.
