As per Willie Brown's comments proposing the moniker "Thrilla From Wasilla" applies to our Sarah. :)
Would you like me to post the Ali picture again?
By the way he referenced Sarah in terms of “floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee”.
You bet. We’re on a mission. :)
Haha ... You’re the best!
Hey I think we should use this as a commercialized thing and start sending it around to potential people. It would be a hit.
The irony is thick. Hillary - presumptive nominee/President greases the skids for someone none of us knew 8 days ago. Obama loses because he doesn’t choose the obvious candidate who will sweep him into the Presidency (Hillary-woman) while McCain stumbles into the best woman candidate of the century which will take the election from Obama. Liberal Hillary greased the skids for Conservative Sarah. In the anti-Bush atmosphere and little woman from Alaska secures the election by being more Bush than Bush and being more McCain than McCain maverick, for McCain who was, in the not-too-distant past, was almost counted out. I love this kind of irony.
She just brought the fight to all the Left, and it’s about time that we find someone that we can identify with and cheer on.
I don’t think we could have done any better. For this, we owe McCain a lot.
Rope-a-dope
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Rope-a-dope is a boxing fighting style used most famously by Muhammad Ali (who coined the term) in the Rumble in the Jungle against George Foreman.
Technique:
The rope a dope is performed by a boxer assuming a protected stance, in Ali's classic pose, lying against the ropes, and allowing their opponent to hit them in the hope that the opponent will become tired and make mistakes which the boxer can exploit in a counter attack.
Rope-a-dope is also commonly used to describe strategies in areas other than boxing, where one party purposely puts itself in what appears to be a losing position, and then becomes the eventual victor."

Willie Brown: Palin floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee:
"Palin's speech to the GOP National Convention on Wednesday has set it up so that the Republicans are now on offense and Democrats are on defense. And we don't do well on defense.
Suddenly, Palin and John McCain are the mavericks and Barack Obama and Joe Biden are the status quo, in a year when you don't want to be seen as defending the status quo."

BUMP!
That moniker deserves it’s own thread.
Hey I helped out! HE HE!!!!
Meanwhile, The One added the Negative One now (see tagline)!
The left is coming right in thinking they got this one in the bag and.... WHAM... Duh, what happened?See also, from FReeper canucky's McCain/Palin - Great Photos of Rally:
