Survey Says: People Still Care About Sarah Palin (Really!)
The Atlantic ^ | December 3, 2012 | David Graham, associate editor

Even as she fades from the national spotlight, the former vice-presidential contender gets plenty of love on the Internet.

I'm going to let you in on a little journalism secret. Time was, political reporters knew that any post about Sarah from Alaska was any easy way to get eyeballs. (In one week in May 2010, I wrote three separate items under the rubric "Sarah Palin Real-Estate Watch." All were well-read.) Nowadays, the magic is gone. There's no serious talk of Palin 2016. There are no more reality TV shows. Her endorsement mojo has evaporated, and the term "Mama Grizzly" seldom echoes on the airwaves. Palin wasn't invited to speak at the Republican National Convention. She's even beefing with Fox News, a once unimaginable turn of events.

So a release from Yahoo as part of their year in review came as a bit of a surprise. Here are the top 5 most searched politicians on the search engine this year:

1. barack obama
2. mitt romney
3. sarah palin
4. ron paul
5. hillary clinton...

Pat yourself on the back all you want, voting for people who aren’t running is retarded.

“Still my number one choice for 2016. But I have to admit, at this point I don’t know why anyone would even want to vie for the office..... The country doesn’t even appear particularly salvageable anymore.....”

Mine too....BUT with the fraud that took place in 2008 (acorn ect.) and the UNPRECEDENTED fraud that stole 2012, how could she win?....And she knows it via her post to the RNC after 2012 election suggesting they quit the in fighting and focus on the 70,000 questionable (FRAUD) instances that took place....They would work it again for a close election, but just enough to take it regardless if she had 70,000,000 votes......

There was a point in the 2012 campaign (late) when Romney had a chance to undo the media portrayal of him.

For sure he was not a very good candidate, and was not really even a Conservative. But I remember thinking how sad that was, because even though he lost, he had a opportunity that saw many not buy the media portrayal of him, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SARAH, she could have perhaps pulled it off, Millions would have saw her in a different light.

It is also very possible that it is just to late for America, more choosing evil over good

It`s time perhaps to just watch the sky and wait for The Lord Jesus

All it takes is revelation of one of her uncanny insights and she will be right back in their heads. Momma Grizzly is hibernating, building strength for when the time is right. She will always be in the political limelight as much as she wants to be. The media doesn’t control that, she does.
