They pay this limp wristed pansy to write this drivel? Honest to God, a 6th grader could have done better.

Maybe sweetcheeks better stick to huffin Barry's Fruit of the Looms in his mom's basement.

Never a smart thing to write political obits before election day.

Sweetcheeks can say what he wants to, for me, Sarah Palin is rolling into my Asheville NC this Sunday with Gretchen Wilson and I’m jacked up about it.

The punditry class does not get it.

Elizabeth Hasselbeck is going onto the campaign trail with Sarah as well.

Sean's interview with Sarah was also great this evening.

While I do realize that nothing is over until it is over, I am very prayerful and hopeful for John and Sarah next month.

She knocks it out of the park every time that she can talk to us directly, unfortunately the media drowns her in negative imagery in all of the space in between those appearances.

She is either going to have the last laugh on November 4th.

Or in 2012 when Obama is looked upon by the Sheeple as a one hit wonder and is vulenrable and Sarah is our nominee and whoops him.

The same here, I’m happy Governor Palin will be coming to Asheville, and I pray for them as well, everyday, morning, noon, and evening.

having arrived in a horse-drawn carriage full of lies about "bridges to nowhere" and jets sold on eBay.

"Lies"?

She DID turn down the bridge to nowhere--she used the money for something else--and she DID put the jet on eBay--she didn't say she SOLD it there, the point was she thought of doing it.

It's so very tiresome to read partisan BS like this. When the press wonder why they're losing money like a drunken sailor in a whorehouse they need only read something like this.

If you're right, there's no need to lie and smear your opponent, you just tell the truth about them.

Let's say McCain loses by 80 points.

Sarah Palin will still be governor of Alaska and everyone in Alaska will be very proud of her, and grateful for putting Alaska in the national spotlight.

In Arizona, Barry Goldwater is still revered to this day. In 1964 when Goldwater ran, Arizona was a tiny state and the fact that someone from Arizona was once a presidential candidate was a huge deal.

So the premise of this article is flawed either way. Sarah Palin will be a folk hero of some sort in some circles 100 years from now, win or lose.

Maybe he’s one of the ones that can see no further than the One and could be covering or engaging in the riot in Pgh,Pa when the one he wants to win loses the election to the other one. One never knows.

This Tony Norman is an elitist fool. His hope is that his pandering will get him tickets at a ball game.
Palin puts Biden to shame on every level. Care to talk about Joe’s little hair plug eccentricity? Care to discuss the exalted couples lavish dining habits?
As an engineer, I went to school with a bunch of lazy, drunk, and stoned losers aka English/polisci/philosophy majors. Always wondered what the heck they would do when they got out. Here at age 53 I finally have the answer.
They are the journalists, politicians, and newscasters that have aided and abetted the Marxist left of this country.
A pox on them all. I wish I had nuked them 30 years ago.

Good points from all of you! Thank you.

The only point the author seems to make is: “I don’t like Palin.” Nothing he says makes much sense.

What’s ironic to me is that he actually is giving evidence in favor of what he denies! How amazingly stupid is that?

He says she’s not really from the working class. Then he says she “traded her steel-toed boots for glass slippers”. If she were rich, she would already have had the fancy clothes. Very few rich people wear steel-toed boots, especially women. I’d say the steel-toed boots are pretty good working class credentials. (And if you’re rich and wearing steel-toed boots, then you definitely understand what the working class is all about. Chances are you started there.) What is this guy smoking?

“outfitted Ms. Palin and her family in expensive clothes to enhance her authenticity with working people” Um, wouldn’t that tend to do the opposite? Sweetcheeks is not the sharpest cheese in the deli.

He accuses her of being Cinderella. Is that a bad thing? Cinderella won in the end!

I suspect he woke up on the day that they talked about analogies in his English class. He learned the word “analogy,” but wasn’t quite clear on the concept.

I don’t think this guy qualifies as “punditry class.” I disagree with a lot of the pundits and many of them lie like crazy. This guy just rambles nonsensically like crazy.

Let’s see...

The most watched convention (either party) in history.

The most watched VP debate in history.

The most watched SNL episode in 14 years.

Definitely washed up!

Greta on Fox last night made the point that all these media types have ZERO professional qualifications since in order to be a journalist all you have to do is declare yourself one...unlike plumbers, electricians, engineers ,doctors nurses ,lawyers who all have to go through some certification process.
