To understand your question, the media PUTS Palin in the polls. She has not declared. They don’t have any other non-declared in the polls. Think about it.

With all the lies, propaganda and false quotes from the LSM, at least we still have the polls, 18 months before an election, that we can rely on to be accurate.

It is too funny how these posters think they can use the crap spewed by the left-wing press to try and convince others about how unelectable Governor Palin is.

They must think everyone who reads FreeRepublic are fools or slow-minded.

The media is part of the establishment and Sarah has the ability to get America back to it’s profound freedom. The Profound Freedom is a gift from GOD. The Satanists cannot deal with that.

“But I don’t think Michele Bachmann needs Ed Rollins,” he said.

I would have to agree.


Mr & Mrs Ed Rollins

But Shari needs him.

Wow, I didn’t realize Ed was a midget, er, “little person”. I guess we can accurately say “bitter little man”.

From Wikipedia...

In the turbulent 2002 campaign for Governor of California, Rollins consulted for his long-time friend, and then-Secretary of State Bill Jones, who ran unsuccessfully for the GOP nomination, losing to Bill Simon. Rollins was then hired by Simon for the fall gubernatorial campaign, suffering a narrow loss to incumbent Democrat Gray Davis.

WOW. A two-time loser in the SAME campaign! That is a rarity, indeed.

In 2006, Rollins consulted on the campaign of Republican New York State Senate contender Kathleen Troia "KT" McFarland....the two had a falling-out, with Rollins not attending a staff meeting in Tampa and quitting a few days later after he questioned the viability of her campaign.

That is what you have to look forward to, Michele. Are you SURE?

I wish Michelle Bachmann had picked someone else. Maybe she can dump Rollins and someone else. Honestly I think I would get Dick Morris. LOL!

Fortunately her campaign style is to go right to the people, bypassing the media filter

Regardless of the wishful thinking of some people, it is impossible to run a campaign by "bypassing" the media. Palin knows this and does not try to bypass the media. What she does do, and what virtually all other candidates do, is try to manipulate the media. I believe Palin has considerable skill at this and she has even been able to get media coverage at some times by feigning indifference to the media.

Poll numbers certainly can change and it is very early in the race. It is not even certain if Palin will be a candidate. If she does become a candidate, a sober assessment of where she stands, where she wants to be, and how to get there must be made. How to deal with the media is part of this. Palin's negatives can be overcome, but not by ignoring them.

BTW, thank you for the only non-knee jerk, civil reply to me on this thread. Palin needs intelligent, adult supporters, not half-cocked cultists.

Do you ever even read your replies? I acknowledged the fact that Pain has high negatives mostly because of (unfair) attacks on her by the MSM. To this your juvenile reply is:

"How do you feel parrotting the left-wing press and the DNC and some of the more purient parts of the GOP elite? "

"What are you, a DU troll or a GOP operative from a competing potential POTUS candidate?"

You are exactly the type of "support" Palin does not need. She does not need knee-jerk cultists who attack others because they perceive what they consider a "slight" whether there is one or not. Independents especially recoil from such mindlessness.

To disagree with my post, you either have to deny that Palin has high negatives or deny that they are mostly caused by attacks by the MSM. Either denial could only be based on pure ignorance.

Please, stop trying to support Palin in public, supporters like you only bring her down.

Sooo.. if I get yer drift... “We” are relegated to select those whom the main stream media have not savaged?.. And instead should gravitate to those the MSM LIKE?..

You don't get my "drift". My response was to a poster that claimed: "One of the remarkable things about Palin is that every attack on her, every trap laid for her, redounds to her benefit." I merely pointed out that this was untrue and that MSM attacks on Palin, although unfair, have contributed to her high negatives. Anyone who wants to support Palin must acknowledge these facts and deal with them. To not do so is to invite defeat. This in no way implies that Palin should not run or cannot win, it only points out that being blinded from reality by ones emotional support does not aid the candidate.

Not only is your post a non sequitur, it is stupid and juvenile. Posters like you denigrate Palin's intelligence and hurt her candidacy by the reflection of the quality of supporters like you. Why don't you give Palin a break and lay off posting on threads about her? You certainly are not helping.
