Its already happening with CNN.
Really? So, you haven't been bothered by all of the nasty, snarling posts by PDSers on the Palin threads over the last two and a half years? Or the attacks that are routinely leveled against anyone who dares to disagree with Perry on the Perry threads?
Sounds to me like you're harboring some double standards.
Oh my, you do have your head stuck in the sand, don’t you? She made many tough decisions in her time as governor. She even threw both Republicans and Democrats in jail. And, let’s be honest - sometimes longevity in a position is too long - if that makes sense. People get lukewarm about their jobs and fail to make good decisions. After all, once their terms are up - they have their sights set on the next job offer, and are always looking in that direction.
Nope, I think your reasoning is faulty. So, she was for a bridge before she had all the facts? Big friggin’ deal. Let’s take her out and hang her for that. That sure isn’t as bad as what some of the other candidates have done - gosh, some of you want utopia, perfection, and it doesn’t exist.
Playing devil’s advocate, obviously Romney’s main competition is Perry and Cain is nothing more than an boutique candidate. No Perry, Romney is easier.
“Not so. One interview doesn’t determine ability. People don’t even remember that and those that do see the body of work she has since then.”
Many people watched and remembered the interviews. She fumbled all of them, including Hannity’s. Anyone can write a speech for someone else. If you can’t show up to defend your views then they aren’t your views.
It’s like the Perry flipflop charge against Romney. It was obvious he was trying to remember something that someone else wrote for him.
>>And then she drives her stiletto through your instep, spins and walks off with the class stud, leaving you there to sop up the blood with one of your baseball cards.
Wow. You are about as sarcasm-impaired as most Democrats!
>> “Just look at the comments on this thread to see how few hold this view.” <<
.
All but the bed wetters.
19 months?
How about 14 months until the election!
That said Palin has until the third week in October to get in.
The latter the better.
Oh, so, you agree with zero about someone being rich? Do I hear class warfare in your post? She and her family were nearly broke about 3 years ago - due to all the trumped up ethics charges. God has blessed them and I say - amen! Do I hear some green-eyed jealousy? I think so.
Totally agree; Perry and Romney are still the frontrunners in my opinion. Cain is a longshot, although his recent strong performances should give him the fundraising ability to remain in the race a bit longer.
If one or both of the frontrunners implode he could find himself in a very good position. I don't think any of the remaining (announced) candidates are credible threats to win the nomination. No traction, not enough money, and in some cases personal credibility issues...
Trust me Perry folks have been much worse but they are in hiding now big time. It is hard supporting Sarah because she has not declared but doing so has so far proved smart big time. Perry has self destructed and is done, Romney is next whether Saran helps him is the real question. We The Folks are going to select who the next nominee so get used to it.
So NOTHING negative can ever be overcome? The practice with interviews she’s had since then, getting more experience on the national scene, her ability to answer off the cuff questions of the press with ease will have absolutely NO effect. Gosh, I’d better go back to school because I failed Algebra the first time around. Maybe the teacher thought my new understanding was a fluke and only judged me on my first try.
By the way, who writes her speeches?
Cindie
>> “Well, a Cain/Palin ticket gives us a possible sixteen years of constitutionalist presidents” <<
.
More likely 4 years.
Cain is not the leader, Palin is, Cain would be the student. He knows nothing about government, nothing about foreign affairs, but has good business experience, and skills.
Cain’s position on the Fed is a killer from the word go. We would continue falling into the depression that the Fed deliberately created, without relief.
Really? Just look around at what your fellow Palin supporters are posting. I am here to defend an honest, solid Conservative. Cain. Why? Because others here feel that Palin is the only pure and clean politician that ever strode the Earth. I am not calling for any such purity and Utopia. I am just arguing that Cain has every qualification to be a great President.
You can put all your eggs in the Palin(™) basket...I don't give a good g-damn, but you are being played by PT Barnum incarnate...and it is passed time that some freeper called it what it is.
Romney’s been in the catbird seat this whole run, untouched. He’s accumulating cash, and positioning for a post-South Carolina primary roll that will be unstoppable. The best chance to stop him is a Christie or Giuliani entry, splitting the Establishment vote to let one Conservative candidate to slip through. Tough.
Maybe, maybe not. You could have said the same thing a week ago, but that would have been before Rick Perry sawed off the high branch he was perched on.
Obviously, Sarah is savvy enough to realize that Perry would probably shoot himself in the foot soon enough, and that she should bide her time for another week or two. Who knows how many other cars will blow up during the next two weeks of the demolition derby?
Also, don't forget that the Republican primary will be going on for another half a year, and that few people outside of us news/political junkies are even paying attention at this point.
Palin is wise to conserve hers and her supporters time, energy, and resources for as long as she can. She gains nothing by entering the race until she absolutely has to.
“Isn’t it convenient how her years of public service and fighting bureaucracy and corruption within her own party before even getting to the governorship are totally ignored? Did you watch her debate the Republican and the Democrat for the governorship?”
I did watch it. She didn’t have this grating, high pitched Roseanne Barr voice that she adopted after 2008. Something changed.
