Sarah Palin could’ve, would’ve, should’ve been the next Ronald Reagan. It is a great loss to the country that she is on the sidelines today.
Palin was sabotaged by the media, the McCain campaign, and her own family (in that order).
I was talking with a Republican friend the other day, and he casually dropped into the conversation that he thought Biden was "almost as dumb as Sarah Palin."
Saturday Night Live did its job well - but I think Reagan would have been able to dispel attempts at caricature a lot more effectively than Palin did.
She also is responsible for some of her counterproductive choices.
But maybe the kids have settled down and she’s ready for a new chapter. Is Alaska ready for another Palin chapter?
A lot of people think Palin was sidelined when McCowface became Senator. In fact, Palin was sidelined by the shooting in Arizona that took over the headlines. After that the Palin family was put through various circus-like antics such as DWTS show and other things. After the shooting incident in Arizona, Palin was regulated to the sidelines of history. She pops up now and then but nothing comes from it. It would not be hard to for her to kickstart her campaign in Alaska but winning would totally a different thing all together.
She was mostly sabotaged by McCain's people, and the press. They hated that she was more popular than McCain, and they "USED" her family against her, starting with trying to claim that Trig wasn't her child, but Bristol's. The media continued relentlessly, and nobody in McCain's team, not even McCain came out in support of her. Every family has problems, but when you run for office, they become targets of the evil people in the world. Had she been a Democrat, we never would have heard anything from the media.
