The rest is odd. Obama isn't going to get Hillary to be his Veep, nor would Hillary want to. And Palin won't be second banana again either. She's either going to be the nominee or she won't be on the ticket.
I don’t really trust guys who’s wives make them watch Desperate Housewives. Sorry.
Ditto to every point you made.
the gretest weapon Obama had in 2008 was the MSM. They carried his water for him, they refused to report damaging stories on him, they did not unearth his past etc.
Now if you are going into a fight you try to either destroy your enemy’s weapons or at the very least neuter it.
this is why Palin is attacking the Media. She understands that the media will not give her, nor any gop candidate a fair hearing. Therefore she attacks it, shows their bias at every turn. Another year or two of this and not one supporter would believe anything the media says about her even if they had pictures of her with a gun, bloody clothes standing over a body.
It is a very smart and shrewed gambit on Palin’s part. The recent flap about her travel is a great example. The media does a hit piece she reponds that “once again” the media is out to attack her.
It is Reagans’ “there you go again” defense. she is playing chess while most of her enemies are playing checkers
“No matter who you are or your political affiliation, you cannot deny the fact that Sarah Palin is electrifying.”
I guess, if you include Levi Johnston.

Bingo.
Anybody who calls himself a man, and actually watches that mushy garbage, can't possibly have his head screed on right.
No surprise his entire article is so full such wacky rubbish.
Bush 43, though he had his own problems, never struck back against the media and pretty much ignored what they said about him (except maybe for some sarcastic remark at a correspondents dinner). If the media continually attacks, you can’t ignore it for it will drive public opinion. You have to give back, hopefully the way Reagan did with his patented “there you go again” comment and a smile.
Dream on!
agreed.
To me this is a there you go again rebuttal by palin tonight:
It’s really comical at this point! Despite all of the important events happening in the world today – the president’s speech tonight on the strategy in Afghanistan, the Senate debate over health care reform, the disturbing details of the “Climategate” scandal, the continuing challenges facing the world economy – the media is concerned about my travel and lodging arrangements on my book tour?! Does this sound familiar? It should. The media showed the same out-of-proportion obsession with my personal arrangements, clothes, and hairstyles last year instead of focusing on the crucial issues involving the election.
So what is this news “story”? That I fly on an airplane to complete some of the stops on my book tour when it’s impractical or physically impossible to reach the next event on time by bus. Some news outlets are behaving as if my travel was a secret that they didn’t know about – despite the fact that I’ve tweeted about my flights and at least one local newspaper reported on the arrival of my flight into Rochester, NY. What’s even funnier is that these same media outlets think it’s shocking that we stay in hotels. I guess they expected us to pitch a tent alongside the road. We love the great outdoors, but such an arrangement is hardly practical for a book tour. Using common sense, it was determined that traveling by plane between some stops would save time and energy and allow me to go to more events. Economically speaking for HarperCollins, it’s more efficient to travel by charter, and I am very grateful to the publisher for providing my family and me with this incredible opportunity to shake hands with as many Americans as possible on this book tour.
If you’re scratching your head wondering why my flight and hotel logistics warrant news coverage, join the club. They can, of course, report on whatever they like, but in my opinion CBS loses whatever professional integrity it still has when it links in its report to a website devoted to the bizarre conspiracy theory that I’m not the real mother of my son Trig.
I’m truly humbled by the response to my book tour by everyday Americans, and if traveling by plane means that I can meet more of these wonderful people, I’ll travel by plane (or bus or train or canoe or dog sled or whatever it takes). Please enjoy the photos below!
- Sarah Palin
IT does amaze me that everyone constanly underestimates this woman. She is running circles around the media and the GOP and DNC at the moment. she has gained 6% in favorables in the last week. yet all three groups give her no credit. She sold 1,000,000 books in 2 weeks. Unprecedented. She has thousands of people lined up over night for a glimpse of her, a signiture, a handshake and a thank-you. And she gets no respect. her book tour is going almost flawlessly. Hitting all the right notes. th e pictures form those events should send anyone lining up against her a shot of fear down their spine.
Have Heidi and Spencer (whoever the heck they are), ever been governors of the biggest state in the US with solid achievements as governor?
“The most compelling evidence that Palin’s camp is steering her wrong is the immediate fallout between her camp and McCain's camp following the election.”
The most compelling evidence that Sarah Palin knows exactly what she is doing was for her to take on the ankle biting , backbiting, nasty McCain campaign staff and smack them down.
” However, at the end of the campaign, Palin managed to even divide her party. “
This fool is just plain nuts. Hey sucker, just go back to watching "Desperate Housewives" will ya?
Seeing his photo at the link will possibly explain this column...
Great post. I find Levi electwifing too.
Co-signed. As for the nit-pickers and nay-sayers on this site, however... said negativity is easily explained:
Dude, you need to ge a girlfriend.
... said Sarah Palin's obsessive online stalker.
Hillary will crush President Palin?
Preposterous!
