The best thing that could happen to Democrats in the run-up to the 2016 election campaign is a Republican slate of Sarah Palin for president and Rand Paul for her running mate. It’s a dream ticket for Democrats, a nightmare for Republicans.
As the Republican Party attempts to put Humpty Dumpty back together again after the presidential fiascos of 2008 and 2012, the challenge that rises above all others is defining, or redefining, the party. It’s not going well.
Party disarray was in full flower recently at the annual meeting of the Conservative Political Action Conference, where Palin and Paul were among the headliners of a peculiar show.
Palin, you’ll recall, is the failed half-term governor of Alaska and the vice presidential candidate who guaranteed that a good man, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., would lose his bid for the presidency to an unknown, untested, one-term senator from Illinois. Since then, she’s become a superstar attraction wherever the far right huddles up, and CPAC gave her the love. They cheered her snarky remarks about other Republicans. They loved her coquettish sipping of a jumbo soft drink (a swipe at New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a Republican). They laughed raucously at her “rack” joke (obliquely referring to her admittedly fetching figure), which put her in the company of high-priced hookers presenting trophies at the porn film industry awards.

2014 and 2016.. will be worse.. democrats AND RINOs will steal the elections..
Where a demo can’t be elected a RINO will..
** they stole the election 2012 AND got away with it.. HUGELY.. famously.. right in your face..
The Dem nominee in 2016 will be San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro.
Julian’s campaign slogan.....viva la revolucion!!!
Where do I send money?
I see the 2016 Dem fight as Hillary, SlowJoe, and Cuomo, with Hillary locking it up early.
We need to get Bloomberg to run as an independent and pull off a plurality win.
The only way we can win in 2016 is with a three-way race.
The only way we can win going forward with the demographic shift and parasite explosion.
no chance then, no chance now.
I think you’re wrong, but I hope you’re right.
