Does Sarah Palin have a shot at U.S. presidency?

No, I didn't go run right out and buy her book. I'm sure that you did, so if there's anything different in there than her stated reasons for resigning her office than in the press conference she gave, why don't you let me know.

Well, I pre-ordered three copies of her first book. One for myself and two to lend out. However, I didn't have to read her book to know her resignation strategy. It was quite clear the day she announced it. Sarah Palin impressed me as it was a most selfless act on her part to give up power for the good of Alaska. I posted at the time Palin resigned that I believed it was a brilliant move. I still do.

She’s barely more ‘qualified’ than Hussein was, and she doesn’t have the media on her side to get her elected. Virtually every poll taken during the past two years indicates independents don’t like her(you can’t win a presidential campaign without independents), and her negatives are TOO high. Her negatives are higher than Hillary’s were for crying out loud....

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

You just proved my point.

Ha Ha Ha Ha!

How does Palin/Bachmann sound?

I for one would have no problem with that ticket and judging by the effectiveness of our "guys" in the senate right now, I would really have no problem with Palin/Bachmann. Was thinking at one time Palin/DeMint, but Demint has kind of slipped in my eyes lately while Bachmann hasn't.
The heads exploding here and there would be an extra benefit ;^)

"Mahaffee, however, questions the show's effectiveness. While it shores up her base, it does little to increase her outreach beyond her current supporters."

They WISH.

Same here~

>>I can’t take any alleged conservative serious, who won’t do some basic due diligence on Palin’s record.<<

As much as we love FR, Mr. and Mrs. Six-pack (and the largely increasing numbers of Ms. White Whine and Ms. Lupe Shanika Shaquana) don’t really inhabit here. Their brains are poisoned by the same drivel as “Hopey-changey” with little girls singing about the new Messiah and black boys doing paramilitary Nazi-like chants.

They may have seen the light last month, but the light is distant and amorphous. Those are the folks that still think Palin “can see Russia from her porch.” It ain’t fair, but it is true.

Lovely photo! Sarah/Michele 2012 used to be my tagline.

Exactly what the hell do you eat?

That’s how they treated the Tea Party Movement from that day in 2008. Remember? It’ll be deja vu all over again.

[freedumb2003]

Whew. Reached into the wayback machine for that one, didn’t ya?

You bet your shebbazzee! Shazbot!

I’m serious. I don not know of anyone out there - and I mean anyone - who just looks in the camera and tells you the truth the way these women do. Until I hear a better idea, or a more down to earth name, I am all for it.

Ah heck, I already gave that one the same post....lol. The one above him could use it.

They're so dense and deluded that it'll take a two-by-four up against their heads to wake them up.

That being said, they need as much of this as we can give them.

According to this guy, you have to "think outside the base".

OK, I've thought outside the base. I still see her as a winning threat to Obama. He stumbles, can't speak, and we're going nowhere.

This mom/mayor/governor has so much more to offer by experience alone, but that's not all. She could fix things while making you proud at the same time.

There's always a way out of a mess. You just need someone who sees the way out. But more importantly, someone willing to ride on the shoulders of those with the original vision.

“Lovely photo! Sarah/Michele 2012 used to be my tagline.”

Well,, I have yet to see anyone I think could take them in a debate or a contest of “look em in the eye and see who is telling the truth.”

I don’t get these guys who think Palin is not thee real deal. Maybe proving yourself in ALASKAN politics isn’t rough enough? Ask Joe...and he was taking on MooCowSki. Palin took on the whole CBC.

[freedumb2003]

Ah, the “Reagan was unelectable” gambit.

You realize that is a conundrum, right?

You can imagine up anything you want. You can imagine there are several thousand Enterprises out there, but that means nothing in the reality we inhabit.

Pretend all you like. She doesn’t have the base, she doesn’t have the middle, she doesn’t have the independents.

She is an extremely attractive and witty Dan Quayle.

The big secret, I believe, is that they are something more than lowly politicians. And believe me, after the last 2 weeks, I now think most politicians are lowlifes.

Only the few dopes still listening to CNN and MSNBC.

As FoxNews share of the market keeps increasing, and after Sarah Declares, her numbers, as good as they are now according to Rasmussen and Zogby, will only continue to improve.

Remember, Reagan, in 1979, was behind to Carter more than 20 pts, just months before the General election.

Your concern is noted along discarded as your very sincerity is in doubt.

[freedumb2003]

OK, I want the moral high ground here...

I saw the sarcasm in your post, and you got hammered by those who didn’t see it.

I want credit, dammit!

AL BABY, I am disappointed! You OF ALL PEOPLE...
