I have to believe these premature post-mortems are intentional mis-information.

One has to wonder just who would aspire to run in 2012 in the republican primary and wouldn't want Sarah as a competitor.

The media has doen their best to destroy her, this is more piling on.

Without Sara McCain is truly down 10 with no hope.

With Sara we have a shot.

Anyone who says otherwise is just foolish.

What I can’t stand is these RINO’S taking shots at her for no reason except fear! They will end up paying for that in the end!

Examples:

David Gergen
Colin Powell (or is it Colon Power)
McClellan
Chuck Hagel

I must say that I am pleased Schwarzenegger was out there for McCain. I didn’t expect that of him.

McCain's pick of Sarah has not only energized the conservative base, it has also changed the face of American politics for the next 20 years.

How many of us were, at best, grudgingly going to go to the polls to vote for McCain on election day only a little more than 2 months ago? How many of us got fired up after the pick of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate? Without Sarah, McCain and the RNC would be broke and this race would be all but over.

Not only was Sarah a great pick, but she has had the energy and charisma to do 3 big rallies a day for the last month. Between her and McCain, that's six rallies a day. And speaking of bad picks, has anyone heard or seen Mr. Biden in the last few weeks?

But on a more fundamental level, Sarah Palin has changed the tone and voice of the debate about the future of America and what it means to be an American. Would Joe the Plumber or Tito the Builder be newsworthy without the message that Sarah has been delivering since new VP nomination? Sarah has quite clearly and eloquently laid out the case for American exceptionalism in a manner not seen since Ronald Reagan; which is not to say that she is the second coming of Ronald Reagan, nor should she be seen as such. Sarah Palin is her own woman who has energized a lot of men and women with her own message of what it really means to be an American citizen.

Sarah's message of hope, faith, patriotism, and service, resonates strongly and firmly within me. God bless America and Sarah Palin!

She has presented America with an entirely new type of feminism, one that conservative women and the Catholic Church can finally understand and identify with.

And that's precisely WHY the MSM and the Feminazis have been so blisteringly negative about her, and foam at the mouth when she doesn't respond.

I agree that the only reason we even have a chance is because of Sarah Palin...who is bringing the crowds????Not McCain and he knows it!!

As far as the RINOs....just remember that Colin Powell, Peggy Noonan, Chris Buckley...these are all Republicans who live in states that NEVER go Republican...EVER

So why in the world should we even care what they think or if they vote for Obama...their votes weren’t going to make a difference anyway!! Palin energizes the heartland because she is ONE of the heartland....and the RINOs will never understand it nor accept it.

And that's precisely WHY the MSM and the Feminazis have been so blisteringly negative about her, and foam at the mouth when she doesn't respond.

"How are you feeling this morning?" says Brer Rabbit, says he.

The Tar-Baby didn't say a thing.

The Tar-Baby Parable

"What is the matter with you then? Are you deaf?" says Brer Rabbit, says he. "Cause if you are, I can holler louder," says he.

The Tar-Baby stayed still.

"You're stuck-up, that's what's wrong with you. You think you're too good to talk to me," says Brer Rabbit, says he. "And I'm going to cure you, that's what I'm going to do," says he.

Tar-Baby didn't say a word.

"I'm going to teach you how to talk to respectable folks if it's my last act," says Brer Rabbit, says he. "If you don't take off that hat and say howdy, I'm going to bust you wide open," says he.

Tar-Baby stayed still.

Brer Rabbit kept on asking her why she wouldn't talk and the Tar-Baby kept on saying nothing until Brer Rabbit finally drew back his fist, he did, and blip--he hit the Tar-Baby on the jaw. But his fist stuck and he couldn't pull it loose. The tar held him. But Tar-Baby, she stayed still.

"If you don't let me loose, I'm going to hit you again," says Brer Rabbit, says he, and with that he drew back his other fist and blap--he hit the Tar-Baby with the other hand and that one stuck fast too.

Tar-Baby she stayed still.

"Turn me loose, before I kick the natural stuffing out of you," says Brer Rabbit, says he, but the Tar-Baby just sat there.

She just held on and then Brer Rabbit jumped her with both his feet. Then Brer Rabbit yelled out that if that Tar-Baby didn't turn him loose, he was going to butt her crank-sided. Then he butted her and his head got stuck.

Brer Fox walked out from behind the bushes and strolled over to Brer Rabbit, looking as innocent as a mockingbird. "Well, I expect I got you this time, Brer Rabbit," says he. "Maybe I don't, but I expect I do. You've been around here sassing after me a mighty long time, but now it's the end. And then you're always getting into something that's none of your business," says Brer Fox, says he. "Who asked you to come and strike up a conversation with this Tar-Baby? And who stuck you up the way you are? Nobody in the round world. You just jammed yourself into that Tar-Baby without waiting for an invitation," says Brer Fox, says he.

FINALLY, a voice of reason from within the GOP punditry! Should McCain lose and the GOP tries to scapegoat Governor Palin, then there will be copious amounts of blood on the floor within the party!
