Gingrich, Palin have no shot at being GOP presidential nominee (So why write a column about it?)
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | December 28, 2010 | Jay Bookman

Bill Kristol, the Fox News analyst and Weekly Standard editor, made a couple of predictions on Fox News Sunday about the GOP presidential race:

“Can I go out on a limb, since everyone else is scared to say — actually make any predictions. I predict Palin will not run. I have no knowledge at all; I just have the hunch that she ultimately will not run.

I think Newt Gingrich is underestimated. Newt is going to run and Newt will be formidable. People can talk about the baggage, but lots of candidates have had lots of baggage, and people think they’re the right guy for the job, he could do better — and I do think — than people expect.”

Kristol has been an advocate for Palin in the past, so his prediction about her candidacy is interesting in that light. I also think he’s correct. Palin has peaked politically, and will be taken less and less seriously from here on out. A year from now, she’ll be considered little more than a curiosity. Public Policy Polling — admittedly, a Democratic-leaning polling firm — says that even in Alaska, her popularity has plummeted....

Palin/Vick 1012 (Animal Killer Ticket) :)

Back in that day, an animal killer ticket was required to stay alive.

And Newt is such a good poster boy for family values.

Based on the constant attacks on her,
SARAH IS still OVER THE TARGET.

He lost me much futher back than that. These guys have been in D.C. way too long and haven’t foggiest clue what goes on in the real world.
I cannot and will not vote or support Newt under any circumstances.

Donald Trump for President. If anyone can streamline government, weed out the slackers (you’re fired), invest slacker money into today’s military, tell Chee Chung Pow and whatever other commie dictator along with Putin, Castro and that dingbat from Venezuala...it’s The Donald!

I said 1012 because they (Palin and Vick) are both primitive barbarians from some blood cult back in the day.


So you don’t eat meat or kill animals, big deal. Sport has different meanings to different people. Just be glad we aren’t all the same or you maybe out on the tundra killing a caribou or at the ring with your dogs.

Wouldn't surprise me she "left" them and they are taking about as well as a jilted lover does.

I don’t think Sarah will run either. I think she enjoys her independence too much. I believe she’ll continue as a “kingmaker”- a respected conservative who gives her imprimatur to candidates with the those conservative values and policies most desirable.

That is the most moronic thing I've ever seen a freeper post. And I've been here a while.

You have just maligned every hunter on this board, as well as implied they are no better than a thug who got his rocks off watching dogs be raped and tortured.

I predict your stay here will be cut short.

Remember your 'tortured' vision next time you eat a burger, or gill up chicken. Because the reality is, those animals are treated far worse than anything a hunter would do.

GinaLolaB: I said 1012 because they (Palin and Vick) are both primitive barbarians from some blood cult back in the day. They both enjoy and get off on watching animals suffer violent vicious deaths. They both inflict torture and death on defenseless, innocent animals.
