I expect to get flamed by the Palin fan club, but this is one of the best summaries I've seen of why she should not be taken seriously as a candidate. It has nothing to do with her policies - it has do with how she conducts herself. I agree entirely that she was not treated fairly by the media in 2008, but she has done nothing but play into the image they've created for her ever since. Furthermore, quitting her term as Governor halfway through is a major red flag, and eliminates the credibility of the "executive experience" argument.

The author succinctly described why she cannot be elected.

What people are failing to realize that at an event where no one particularly stood out, Palin is the one getting the press. At this point in the 2016 election cycle, there is no such thing as bad press.

I really hate it when my favorite politicians collapse into ignominious pasquinade. Damn!

What can you expect from a formerly conservative publication?

Consider, if you will, what happens to a person who suggests that Sarah Palin is anything other than saintly. Right off the bat, they are accused of disliking America or Alaska or conservatives or mothers or the working class or even women in general and then they are informed that their hatred is showing. That is something I would never do, not even to an anti-American, West-hating, misogynistic, mother-hating elitist bigot like the author. I'm a bigger person than that.

I would crawl over broken glass in the pouring rain to get to my polling place and vote for Sarah. So would Mrs. Genoa and the extended Genoa family.

One could say the same thing about the “National Review”.

No such thing as bad press? Would you call Gerald Ford continuously falling down the stairs of Air Force One good press? Unfortunately, Palin is following in those footsteps.

National Review has been in the pockets of the RINO establishment for a long, long time—basically, ever since Bill Buckley died.

Yeah, me too. They become apoplectically hysterical whenever she speaks. Sarah separates the wheat from the chaff, every time.

“National Review?” Which was so rhapsodically enamoured of Mitt Romney?
To hell with them. I regard them as just as much an enemy to my beliefs and values as I do MSNBC these days. I’ll stick with Palin.

Is that anything like a big vat of guacamole?
Or the Tar Pits? (Be assured I am referring to white tar pits only.)
