I say, Sarah Palin didn’t fail. In fact, she succeeded in revitalizing a failed campaign, led by a failed campaign strategizer.

And what she has learned is, stay away from ambitious dweebs who only want to make a name for themselves.

Kathleen Parker is a despicable POS.

Without Sarah Palin on that ticket, barack obama would have had a LANDSLIDE win.

I’d like to see a poll on how many people voted FOR John McCain as opposed to those who voted FOR Sarah Palin in SPITE of McCain.

The latter is exactly how I voted.

Yep what bunch of idiots. She did not fail. And there is a pattern here. The only other race she lost was for Lt. Gov of Alaska and she came back in four years and beat the incumbent to become Gov.

How did Palin fail? I thought McCain was the one running for President. Now it’s up to the VP candidate to drag the number one spot over the finish line?

Ditto to both of those thoughts. They’ve shown their true colors.

20,000 emails to Kathleen the elite for being jealous of Sarah and to this day she can’t write about Sarah because “it just isn’t worth it.”

LOL.

It warmed my heart to watch that. Kathleen Parker says that she lost speaking engagements, publishers, subscribers because of her attack on Palin . . . and that she is jealous of Palin now because of her big book contract.

Oh, shadenfruede!

Wow, amazingly juvenile...Nicholle Wallace and Kathleen Parker are supposed to be professionals? Supposed to be Republicans?

I don't want to be associated with these bigots.

Nicolle Wallace and Steve Schmidt purposely tanked the election because in their idiotic minds, they would rather have Obama as President then not have their butt buddy Mitt Romney in the White House. THAT is what happened

I think ol Kath can use a few more emails after this yuk fest with the commie Washington Post.

What kind of Republican woman would hang with the enemy while mocking her own?

I hate traitors.

Nicole Wallace was on Hannity tonight. Wonder if Sarah’s new gig makes her nervous?

Nicole Wallace is one nasty, social-climbing bitch. She can profess she’s a Republican all she wants, but hat doesn’t make her one. Any Republican that hires her, had better look at what she did to Sarah. As for Kathleen Parker, she’s just a spiteful columnist looking to make a dollar, but now she’s afraid to write about Sarah because she got 20,000 hate mails...lol, and yet she claimed she isn’t thin-skinned. LOL.

I know but anyone with common sense knows they are full of it. No other VP candidate has gotten the scrutiny she has.

Wallace ran the communication office for GWB too...and we know how that turned out.

Something is seriously wrong with the “professionals” that the Republicans hire. Where are they educated? Where did they get their experience in communications?

They are like Pavlov Dogs...conditioned and trained to respond to ONLY the MSM and the DNC.

Every decision and move is made on the enemy's terms.

I hope we have some new teams in the works because obviously these old campaign operatives have NO IDEA how to beat the libs.
