In this week's Newsweek, Sarah Palin tells Peter J. Boyer why she thinks she can win in 2012. See more images from her cover shoot with photographer Emily Shur.

The comments @ Daily Beast are hilarious
They are so terrified of Sarah, they are sputtering. Now she’s just a “pageant queen” and should do Playboy!
The waiting period in Alaska is running out, and Sarah can take her time before she announces.
The LSM says it is a mistake bc she needs name recognition and needs to start raising money. You have to be from Mars not to know who Sarah is, and the minute she announces, the money will start rolling in- tsunami style.
I love Sarah even more for making these Lefties squirm and foam at the mouth. What fun!
Sarah is already running a brilliant campaign- going rogue and staying independent, but all the while staying GOP & not going 3rd party which we all know is the kiss of death. Having the best of all possible worlds.
“Have there been photo shoots by prominant male politicians ... in poses used by male models in similar ads?”

>>...Is positive press from the liberal MSM now a good thing for a Republican?...<<
It could be that the particular Republican being covered can be considered as “guaranteed to sell” the product. Perhaps even increase sales.
They may hate her. But they also need to sell magazines. Love her or hate her, Palin draws eyeballs. She can draw a crowd. The MSM can not help themselves since ignoring her means the competition gets the traffic (or sales, or viewers, or whatever).
Sarah's journalism background in doing her proud. She is going to fight the meadia beast by giving them no feed. Starve them and kick them to the curb. That's what you do.
And that’s why I like her. She takes a common sense approach to everything, including the LSM. That’s why they don’t like her. Common sense has no room in the world of the intelligentsia elite.
>>...When they are after you anyway for questionable brains, why deliver proof and sell calendars shots?...<<
I honestly do not see any problem with “glamour shots” being taken at the request of a news outlet who is running a story about her. I would be more surprised if they didn’t.
Not likely. When she gives a speech on something, they will use a photo of her giving the actual speech. The legitimacy of news requires that a photo from the event accompany the story to illustrate that the event happened. That’s why tabloids use so many artist renderings and photoshopped images to illustrate the latest Bat Boy saga. OTOH, they’ll be stuck with reading the words of a very smart woman and, darn-it, if she’s not beautiful, as well.
However, I would rather see one of her in a hat. The Hildebeast looks better in a hat!
Hey! Thas a damn good huntin’ dog there, FRiend! Purty!
Hey, we’re all seeing the same thing. LOL. We’ve just got different names for it. To you guys, it’s brilliant and drives the media crazy and the unimpressed are called PDSers. To me, it’s a sideshow and drives me crazy and you guys are called real suckers. Sarah simply isn’t running. I can’t help that.
PDS often blinds those it afflicts. There is a cure.
I think Rita is one of those jealous types that’s upset that SP has the looks to go along with the brains and isn’t ashamed of it - AKA self confidence. That’s why we keep seeing the catty “calendar girl” comments backed up with the ‘she can’t win/isn’t running cuz I said so attitude.
Very unbecoming for a supposed conservative on a conservative forum IMO.
Who wouldn’t be envious of Sarah’s natural beauty? I know I would be. But, you’re right, my point was when it comes to running for the president you don’t get suckered into I’m-really-pretty-too photo shoots with a lib newspaper when you’re under fire for lack of acumen. Sarah was used. Again.
When she does run will you just go away? cattiness does no good on FR
Rita, the blinders are still on. Think about this logically and critically.
Right before your eyes the controversy unfolds and in it, what is being accomplished? People are TALKING AMONG THEMSELVES about SP and her ‘rightness or wrongness’ for the job of president...
...Without the MSM telling them what to think. Whether you support her or not, isn’t that what SHOULD happen? But it hasn’t until she started this ‘unconventional campaign.’ It was a steady MSM-fed diet of “Palin is a moron” and people just believed it without thinking.
And to her benefit, people who didn’t give a care before or didn’t like her are now bypassing the MSM spin and THINKING FOR THEMSELVES about her. This only gains her supporters because the default before was ‘no’.
How about the Al Gore package picture on Rolling Stone mag?
Is this how to spell ‘prurient’?
” I honestly do not see any problem with glamour shots being taken at the request of a news outlet who is running a story about her. I would be more surprised if they didnt.<<
I so agree with you and that Sarah is so pretty, as in natural beauty. The photos are great for, as you say, a story about her. My arguement was with those who still think she is going to run for president. I think the photo shoot says she’s not running—not with these photos in a lefty newspaper. I thought they would be cool for a Tour Alaska calendar but a tad shallow if you are a wanting to be taken seriously as a contender for the prez. Times have changed though with dignity and formality seemingly quite dead.
Don't know where that picture went, but one strange thing about it. If that was taken the same time as the Newsweek cover one, where's the watch that was on her left wrist.Wasn't in the one posted here a few minutes ago.
>> When she does run will you just go away? cattiness does no good on FR.” <<
I promise. I also promise if she is the write-in nominee winner I will vote for her, but she will have to be a write-in winner to ever be the nominee, because she isn’t running. .:)
>> “until she started this unconventional campaign.” <<
Norm, what else can you say? You have to call it an
“unconventional campaign”. There is no other leg to stand on. Unless you call it like it is, “not running”. %:)
