Suzanne Fields: There's Something About Sarah (Yes!)

Despite everything John McCain and Barack Obama can do, Sarah Palin continues to be the liveliest of the candidates, now starting the clubhouse turn and about to race down the homestretch.

There's only one more presidential debate to endure. By this time in a campaign, both presidential candidates are so programmed, their talking points so tested and trite if not necessarily true, that viewers long for a refreshing gaffe. But all we get is a Tuesday-night debate where both men seem terrified of saying something interesting and new. Tom Brokaw tried.

Sarah Palin, on the other hand, is something else. She's clearly relishing the assigned role of the candidate for vice president -- going out to rough up the top of the other ticket, saying the things that a presidential candidate eager to appear presidential thinks and believes but would never say. She's the real deal with the gloves off and the bright red high heels on. Though this exacts a price, she's the proof that feminism, like her or not, has achieved its long-sought goal: Girls can take it just like boys, and they can dish it out, too. This may be remembered as John McCain's greatest gift to the ladies.

Palin recounted some of Barack Obama's adventures in Chicago, his consorting with retired terrorists and bigoted preachers, and she observed that anyone who could do that "is not a man who sees America like you and I see America" -- and for her trouble was pilloried as someone flirting with racism. Undeterred, she continues the attack. This is not a lady to vanish in a hail of sticks and stones.

Great article! Win or lose this year, Sarah is the frontrunner for 2012, IMO!! Please read the whole column, it gets even better!

[Bruinator]

We assume she will even run. I am not expecting to see her in the national spotlight after this. Why would she, after the crap she has been subjected to.

[SMCC1]

Well, I don’t know what she’ll do (Personally, I think she, Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter should have a show on Fox News to inform us during the Obamanation), but she had to put up with a lot of sh*t in Alaska even before she became VP because she took on the establishment.

I say she will be back...They threw the Kitchen counter and kitchen sink at her and SHE IS STILL STANDING....!!!!!!

Not much else to throw at her...She has 4 years to add to her resume, and if she is smart she will get the proper people to help her out.....

[AHerald]

Thanks for the post. Good read.

Sarah Palin infuriates the stale feminists far past their sell-by date because she has it all: a robust man with a steelworker's union card, a championship athlete with the scars to prove it, a man who's proud to cradle their baby, care for the children, cook the family meals, and all the while reveling in the accomplishments of a wife who could be the next vice president of the United States.

Obama's rising poll numbers are, IMHO, manufactured and represent push polls (for the most part when you look at sampling data) by the MSM to offest the growing concern about his associations and intent.

Obama and his cronies in ACORN, the DNC, and the MSM are wholly corrupt and desperate to steal the election if they cannot win it through intimidation and tomfoolery.

Obama has been directly tied and involved with ACORN, for a long time, and through his instrumentality we are seeing our free market and our voting process subverted and deconstructed before our very eyes.

But there is hope, despite what the push polls are saying, and Obama and his campaign and the MSM all know it, and fear it.

I'M VOTING FOR SARAH

"Obama and his campaign and the MSM all know it, and fear it."

That's why Obama is getting black folks riled up only. In addition to getting everybody else riled up against him. Listen to him. He knows the polls are fake.

Governor Palin is demonstrating her abilities to be a vibrant campaigner and will certainly be a candidate for president in 2012 if McCain doesn't win. She inspires people like no one I've seen since Reagan. She is the complete package when it comes to politics: energetic, smart, a beauty to look at, positions she believes in and not afraid to say it. But, she holds one other trait that my hero Reagan did not. She is a woman with strong motherly convictions. I ask, who would you want carrying your baby, Sarah Palin or Michelle Obama? When the country realizes how truly genuine Mrs. Palin is she will dominate the public scene.

[cherry]

SHE IS GOING TO BE OUR NEXT VICE PRESIDENT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD YOU BABIES!

[mhx]

I honor Michelle Obama’s motherhood.

I hope that she can spend the next four years being a mother instead of First Lady though.

lol

There does seem to be a fatalism creeping in around here.
I say “ramming speed!”

'Obama's rising poll numbers are, IMHO, manufactured and represent push polls (for the most part when you look at sampling data) by the MSM to offset the growing concern about his associations and intent.'

You have hit the nail squarely on the head (if you'll pardon the pun).

I have contended all along the Pollsters intentionally over sample Liberal-leaning White Democrats and Blacks who are more than happy to tell them what they want to hear...and in effect, dampen the spirits of GOP voters and subsequently suppress turnout on Election Day.

This has been a pattern of the Left and their MSM enablers over the past three election cycles, and has now shifted into maximum overdrive; in short, these people will stop at nothing to get Obama elected and usher in their extreme Leftist agenda...and yes as you also stated, they are desperate to steal this one.

[chippewaman]

I agree, Palin MUST run for President in 2012, win or lose. She has my support 100 percent. I could see her as the front-runner, but being the front-runner (Guiliani, Hillary) is not always a good thing.

It's called honesty, Suzanne.

"I have contended all along the Pollsters intentionally over sample Liberal-leaning White Democrats and Blacks who are more than happy to tell them what they want to hear...and in effect, dampen the spirits of GOP voters and subsequently suppress turnout on Election Day."

In addition to which, they thereby give cover to the ACORN vote fraud and "Machine-Politics" vote-machine rigging that is being prepared right now.

Fraudulent polling enables fraudulent vote results.
