She didn’t do the shopping, the RNC did the shopping and most of the clothing was already in MN when she arrived for the convention and 1/3 was sent back immediately because it didn’t fit. People really need to quit listening to the MSM.

Even Joe Biden seems to recognize her draw, joking today that since winning the election is has been “Joe who” and musing perhaps she would be so kind as to walk outside with him later today.

Casting blame gets you nothing but a lot of hot air... and Utah 3 proved you are wrong this year and there could be many more Utah 3’s.

That is too funny. I have been avoiding almost all media since the election because, well— ICKY! I don't want to see Obama or hear him or his synchophants anywhere in my house, so I missed that Biden quip.

I remember during the debate that he seemed to be quite charmed by her.

To all conservatives who believe in freedom and Sarah Palin The millions of you who support her must be prepared to defend her to the death. The MSM onslaught to discredit Sarah will be million times more intense over the next 2-4 years than it was between Aug 29-November 4th 2008.

Started already. See this thread:

Murkowski to Palin: Leave my seat alone (Wisa is a wittle wupset)

He clearly was and is charmed by her. The shot from behind her head towards Biden and Obama showed that Obama was clearly enjoying Biden’s quips.

“Peggy Noonan is writing her weekly column for the WS Journal. And if you can understand her gibberish, her point will be that Chambliss could have won by a much greater margin but for the fact that Governor Palin campaigning for him was a “drag” on the ticket.”

“Peggy” can eat me....

I live in Fulton and on Nov.4 the polls were 2-3 hour waits.

Today at my poll locale. . . it took half a minute. . . no joke.

Martin did beat Vernon Jones (AA candidate) in the Dem primary. Martin had no ‘street cred’. . . no doubt.

Probably voting on 1 race with 2 choices only would make voting a very short process compared to the Nov ballot. Saxby had 1,867,000 votes in November. He will end up with around 1,250,000 votes today. 67% of his November total.

Martin went from 1,747,000 to 950,000. About 55% of his total. Turnout much better for Saxby.

"I will never reconcile with those that allowed Obama to win or supported his presidency."

same here...except it was people from my own family that betrayed this country....not that they mean harm, just they didn't research and didn't think critically and would not listen to someone who had.....

Gov. Palin probably was the POOREST candidate MONEY WISE to ever run for VP....and no Harvard connections...no trust fund...no silver spoon stuck in her mouth....

she needed up to date clothes....she didn't have a rich sugar daddy to support her.....WHAT THE HELL IS THE BIG DEAL?

zero can spend $5million enacting a Greek tragedy farce and no one says anything about that!

Palin can lead a wave of Conservatives (GOP/2.0) into the Senate and House in 2010.

Then she could ride that crest of a new movement into the White House in 2012.

There will be plenty of policies she will dissent with from the well of the Senate.

Unless Republicans win 18 seats in the Senate in ‘10, they will stay in the minority and she will be free to play the vociferously loyal opposition.

Therefore, she can be Minority Leader (to Hell with Seniority), begin her Presidential run (unabashedly so) and fillet the Dem policies every Sunday on a rotating schedule for each Network.

This will be a winning strategy. The rules have changed.

FYI peeps,

The Senate is ‘exactly’ where she will develop her campaign’s arguments for 2012. Logic, people, logic.

For people not to intuitively understand this, makes me question their motivations for such a blithe dismissal.

In addition, she will be able to derail any lame brain liberal policy better from DC rather than Alaska. . . REFUTE THAT!!!

In the den of vipers is exactly where she will earn her DC bona fides. I want to see her every Sunday morning, spankin’ gregory etal.

Her sharing the stage with Hil? Can you imaging the MSM compare and contrast between the two?

People need to daily see Sarah as opposed to the ‘so-called’ competition. This will be quite illuminating for the electorate.

The MSM will then only be able to spin just so much in her disfavor.

Her loud voice will be the best to beat back any socialist policy. Bar None!!!

I seriously doubt she will compromise her principles while in the Senate.

It is that very “compromise” that people destest about senators. That is why senators rarely get elected president.

It is their respective voting records where they get skewered.

She is young. She can return to Alaska and run for Governor after her time in DC. Alaska aint goin’ anywhere.

I want to see her grow old.

Barry has sped up the political cycle. Get used to it.

Your “conventional wisdom” aint gonna work on me.

Quite frankly, y’all need to “man-up” . . . Sarah has!!!

I’m All-In.

Home-Girl aint ‘skuurrred!!!
