Palin's confidence evident as she takes on O'Reilly, Christie and Obama
The Examiner ^ | Mary 5, 2011 | Lori Calabrese

Even though Sarah Palin has been a mayor and a governor, the day she became John McCain's surprise pick as Republican running mate, the former Alaska Governor has been cross-examined vigorously and exposed to tough questions all in an attempt to prove that she's inexperienced. On Friday, Palin took to FOX News and proved she is not only experienced, but confident and ready to offer an unscripted response to anyone's words of wisdom.

Palin appeared on America's Nightly Scoreboard on Fox Business and had a quick response when Host David Asman informed Palin that Chris Christie had told Fox Business News that he didn't see any politicians as inspiring. "Do you?" Asman asked.

"Heck yeah, I am so thankful for all these common sense conservative politicians to serve and cut for the right reasons," she said. "And with all due respect to Governor Christie, you know he has no choice but to cut budgets because he's broke, his state is broke. What courage really is, is in the face of having a surplus when you have opportunity to spend, spend, spend other people's money, and you still choose to rein in government to let the private sector soar."

Palin went on to say that's what she did as Governor of Alaska when she engaged in hiring freezes, reduced earmarks by 86% and vetoed the largest amounts in Alaska's history. However, Palin did say she appreciates that Christie is willing to face the reality of bankruptcy in his state....

I hope she runs for no other reason than she makes Lib and RINO heads explode.

Before she declares, we should invest in pharmaceutical companies that make aspirin, blood pressure medication, and ulcer treatments. The libs and RINOs are going to be popping that stuff like jellybeans. ;-)

Palin was the proxy for a nursing home candidat and has proven she can carry an adled old man and still make sense that SHE is likely the only realistic and sensible choice.

Good point - I was only looking at the investment opportunities on the negative side. This will be great entertainment for many of us on the other side.

I personally don't give a damn about Libs or RINOs or heads. I want Sarah Palin to run because I believe she has what it takes to reform and downsize government. I intend to either ignore or bulldoze those who stand in our way.

Palin has Leadership—with a simple Twitter account she deranged Obama’s Death Panel. She could do it—and get some real heavy hitters to work with her to re-build the country. I would love to see a debate between her and Obama—that would be great TV.

She may be baiting the progressive war machine (MSM) to jump on the first few republicans to enter the arena and then spring some of her own news on the MSM,let’s call it an ambush?.

Never forget that Sarah did extremely well in her debate against Clueless Joe Biden. She is smart, articulate, and quite capable on her feet.

But now she has to go on the offensive. She needs to stand up with a bold conservative agenda (no mention of Title IX!). She must take shots at other Republicans, not just O’Bummer. If she continues to drift around the country, giving obscure off-the-record speeches, an ex-half-term governor with not much to do, her polls will inevitably slip. Her supporters will get discouraged and quit.

Step into the ring, Ms. Palin!!!

Then they wouldn't have been Palin Supporters.

We've been discouraged before, like in '08 when our choice was mcpain or osamaobama, and if we didn't quit then, well the stakes are even higher now.

Some of her supporters are indeed dropping off, and her polls are down.

It’s time for her to do something this year, to follow up on her amazing succeses with the Mama Grizzlies, Tea Party, and the takeover of the House last year.

I watched the BO’R interview. O’R was his usual bombastic self, until Sarah shut him down. She did it with a smile, but left no impression that she was in charge. O’R turned from a badger into a mouse, and was polite the rest of the interview.
