Imagine if we had $160 million dollars to elevate Ted Cruz's candidacy.

Neither the Left, nor the Neo-cons, nor the white shoe/Ripon Republicans can get a handle on Sarah Palin. They have little to no idea why she's still influential and popular after everything they've done to denigrate her.

If they weren’t worried about her, they would stop writing about her.

Isnt it funny how these elitist pricks spend so much time talking about someone who is supposedly “Irrelevant” gee, for someone irrelevant they sure do spend a lot of time following her around and responding to every single thing that comes out of her mouth

What the hit piece doesn’t tell you is that the day before was the Iowa GOP district conventions. They are pretty intense affairs. Everyone was tired and burnt out and not up for another round of traveling at $3.40 per gallon. Not to mention the inclement weather.

I did manage to go. Didn’t shake her hand but was 3 ft from her or so. She’s every bit as down to earth as she projects.

Palin needs to go to a voice coach. I can’t stand her voice inflection.

There’s no question that Palin has been superseded in the eyes of many on the right by the class of conservative notables like Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Rand Paul that was produced by the 2010 and 2012 election cycles.

If she doesn't run then they can supersede her. If she does run it would be prudent to back off. Or shoot for VP.

Palin is, at times, an infuriating and bitter reminder of the worst partisan excesses of the last few election cycles on the part of both parties.

I'm manifestly unclear how she represents partisan excess on the Republican side. That portion of this line appears to be a throw-away to make the author look even-handed.

As far as excesses on the dem side, she is certainly the poster child for the politics of personal destruction.

I suppose the GOPe's death wish for her political career may count as the republican side of the partisan excess.

As such, she has no chance of ever gratifying the desire of her fan base to see her elected president and that is a good thing.

It is a good thing ONLY to those hacks that believe the ultra partisan dem lies about her. If she were ever given a chance to run her own campaign, absent the pervasive and pernicious sniping of the GOPe, I believe she would connect with the American people in a manner not seen since the 80s.

But those who would like to see her go away completely are doomed to disappointment.

It's funny, but her acting on conviction - even when some of us conservatives disagree with her specific choices of people to support - appears to have completely flummoxed the left, including this author. Perhaps they should look up the definition of the word "conviction" that doesn't specifically predict their possible future...

It is not all about the money. It is who is managing it and the campaign.

For example, how much less money would a candidate need if this were in his campaign platform.

"As president the first executive order I will issue will be to place all border patrol officers on the border instead of patrolling the interior of our country."
