Unless Sarah Palin is an idiot beyond belief, she knew she would be subjected to her abuse from Day One. She gets nothing but admiration from me.

The fact is, these days the polls show a dead heat. Three weeks ago they showed McCain an "also ran."

The Democrats are in a state of panic. The most frightened of them all is Hillary. She is terrified that Obama will fire the plagiarist and ask her to replace him. The last person on earth who wants to be compared to Palin is the succubus.

“Fortier and other political scientists spoke Thursday at the think tank, where Ornstein observed that Palin gets his vote, at least in one respect. “Sarah Palin’s choice did electrify the country,” he said. “I believe she’s the prettiest vice presidential choice since John Edwards.”

Leftist trash, trying to convince people that she is not who she really is.

They are using the same tactic on Palin that they have used on Bush for the last 8 years - that is to suggest that he’s stupid. They’re full-on to re-create her in the image of a bimbo.

Much as we detest them, the MSM is still a powerful political force. The MSM destroyed the Bush presidency. Now they have turned the efforts to destroying Sarah Palin. Win or lose in November, we must find ways to take back the institutions that we have ceded to the liberals over the years. The only way conservatives will ever influence schools is from the inside. That goes double for things like movies, tv, or the MSM. To often people on this board underestimate the power of the news and entertainment media to shape public opinion. IMO, that is a big mistake.

I said a couple of days ago that although I love Sarah; she really needs to come up with some new lines. The news media have replayed her talking points so many times that it is starting to get boring and it is making her look like politics as usual instead of a fresh face and fresh gusto. I think she would be much better if they turned her loose as the attack bulldog that we all think she could be.

Alert ! Its CBS/NY Slimes POLL Results RECYCLED by the CNN’s David Gergen newsletter! AKA , A Palin HIT Piece with a Poll attached !

[yazoo]

THe 30% represents the hardcore dem and liberal base. That number would be the same if George Washington was running as a Republican.

Most news organs are simply round-the-clock propaganda broadsheets with a little news to bait the hook.

They use polling as a tool to see if the propaganda is working, and as filler news, and as propaganda in its own right.

The problem with all this is that sometimes they start to buy into their own propaganda, and lose sight of what is real. Big mistake for a propaganda professional, to believe your own hype.

Palin isn’t losing popularity. She is cleaning Obama’s clock.

Ludicrous push-polling on demand for the Obama campaign. They are desperate. Sarah hasn’t moved below 60%, I would bet Biden’s life on it.

[4everontheRight]

Not in my book it isn't! The harder they push their liberal BS, the deeper my pocket goes to support Palin! Their plans are backfiring as far as I am concerned!

[bitterohiogunclinger]

If true, it's a normal result of having the entire media doing everything they can to destroy her for two weeks. I think they've failed miserably. Look at the results they've achieved with the last three Presidents. They eroded 41’s favorable rating from a 70 percent at the end of the Gulf war enough to get him defeated by Billy Bob. They held up Billy Bob through two terms and continue to defend him to this day. They've attacked President Bush nonstop since the primaries and have managed to finally be able to claim he has the lowest rating in history. Have you ever noticed the disrespectful way they hiss “Mr. Bush” when they refer to him? In the backlash against the media that occured during Palins speech at the convention, I actually heard on of the reporters start to refer to Mr. Bush and corrected himself and said President Bush. There's no media bias, nope, not in this country.

[Publius6961]

Imagine that...

At the current rate, in about two years, Sarah's rating will be down about even with Congress...

[Savage Beast]

Note tagline.

She needs a press conference to de-bunk all 7-10 lies told about her already.

She needs to defend herself!
