“Many people........including most women.” “...and she knows it.”

Most women? During the elections, did you work for any polling organizations? Can you read minds?

You’re sounding like one of those “people” who are having a problem with Gov. Palin.

With the way the MSM continues to disparage Gov. Palin, you’d better believe they’re concerned about her future political career. She’ll kick the pants out of Obama.

Your most recent comments have just entered the realm of obsurdity.

FReepers, check out this GREAT video of Gov. Sarah Palin talking to the media at her office on Friday, 11/7/08. It's so nice to hear Sarah speak "in her own voice", IMO.

Mr_Moonlight posted the following in #20 (thank you, Mr_Moonlight!):

Dare if I must incur any wrath of FReeper's, but just watch this post-election video of Sarah Palin and how she handles the drive-by MSM's with deft ability on a number of salient issues ... actually I'm being too nice on that, she absolutely destroys and mocks them in a nuanced manner, and they don't even realize what just hit them ... good stuff :)

Palin will have more success with men than women. It is the women who would have a major problem with her because most women do not like to be ruled by another women.

What we are all losing sight on here is The Constitution. The President is hired by us do a defined job. Anything beyond that is beyond the letter of the law. The same goes for The Senate and Congress. When we start looking for these turds to do anything else we are in for big trouble.

McCain wouldn’t have had to sign up for federal matching funds if some Republicans would have given generously to his campaign from the beginning. Too many on the right behave like children holding their breath because they don’t get exactly what they want. Now they have President Obama

Maybe if McCain had not set his table with 'fine gold' he would have had those 'rich' Republicans giving generously.

McCain was damaged. The only damage Sarah suffered was at the hands of insider GOP politics jockeying for position in 2012...but I won't mention names like Romney.

Where was Romney in this election? He was #2 behind McCain and as soon as he reclined (which I wondered about for 2 months) he was basically AWOL. Why wasn't Romney out there doing all he could to help the MCCain/Palin ticket?

Because he was in CA buying a home in La Jolla and positioning himself for the Governorship (after Arnie takes a spot in Neobama’s cabinet) and use that as a launch pad for his 2012 run.

The Palin smear is all about hardball politics and if she doesn't buck up and meet it head on she can forget about 2012 because she didn't have it to begin with.

Not because she is a woman. I have no problem with her gender, do you?

"Palin has been damaged by this campaign very badly and she cannot recover. I hope that the grass root will not waste time and energy in the next 4 years trying to push her to run for President. We have few good men on our side who are not damaged and can win."

I'm pretty sure that she has heard this before. Many times. Yet she just keeps on winning. You'll forgive her, and her supporters if they don't take your well meaning advice and TRY!

She was not going to 'rule' anyone. She was going to 'Drill baby Drill and Mine baby Mine.... Maybe these women are not filling up their own gas tanks these days.

I’m tuned into FOX News all day every day. I’m a news junkie and can’t stand CNN, MSNBC, or any of those other liberal propaganda networks.

Same here, Jim. All these people complaining constantly about FNC: Watch the Commie News Network and/or MSDNC-TV for awhile... you'll be back!

I like Palin a lot but I do not think that she can win. Yes she is very damaged by this election and if you think otherwise then you are deluding yourself.

Anyway, I am not going to change your opinion on this one and you are not going to change mine. There are much more important issues we need to worry about in the next four years before we start dreaming who is going to be the next Republican nominee in 2012.

Will somebody just leave her alone? She was so beloved, and suddenly McCain lost (yes, it was his fault, not hers) and she’s the biggest villain on the planet. She would have won on the top of the ticket, I don’t buy some of this negative stuff for a second

Oh, it’s the customer’s fault if they don’t like the product! That’s what the GOP needs, enablers.

NYC logic. Don’t worry, it goes away when you leave. It did for me anyway.

See, with political campaigns, each time, there’s a winner and a loser. If the losers of a campaign were to never work again, there would be an endless revolving door of people who run political campaigns, which is not the case. It is silly to suppose that someone is leaking about Palin just because they might get blamed for McCain’s loss and not work again. It’s the kind of simplistic nonsense cooked up by NY Times reporters.

Besides, a blind man could tell that McCain is the reason McCain lost.

Absolutely not. As I said before I like Palin a lot.

*Are we boycotting FoxNews?*

I am a Gov. Palin supporter from day one
but, boycotting FOX News is childish.

For the last three nights Greta has spent most of her program in defense of Gov. Palin
During the campaign Greta spent a week in Alaska interviewing Todd and other friends and relatives.

Greta wil be in Alaska Mon to interview the Gov.

Also tonight she had on Rush, who is on her show ofen.

Laura Ingraham who subs for O’Reilly spent time in great defense of Gov. Palin.

Others on FOX support Gov. Palin.

Difficult to figure the many who want to boycott FOX but don’t mind their children and grandchildren being brainwashed in Public Schools by Liberal teachers and Liberal text books.

The woman is brilliant. They can call her stupid all they want. Anyone who pays attention to her can tell that they’re full of crap.

What Americans do you believe would not vote for a woman because she is a woman?

I thought Meg Whitman is going to run for Governor of CA. Doesn’t matter. The CA election will be settled in the Dem primary between Gavin Newson and the Mexican Mayor of Los Angeles.

I think Slick Willard’s move to CA is to setup a 2012 Presidential primary presence.
