Presidential candidates appeared on Leno, Letterman, Colbert , etc. FOUR times as much in 2008 than they did in the 2004 election, with McCain appearing the most. Mrs. Palin appeared on late night talk - not once. Plus 52 percent of Americans disapprove of gay marriage a CNN poll says - see other stats in the last item of this column.

Palin scares the crap out of the hollywood elites because they cant/dont control her.
Palin/ Lynn Cheney in 2012...
The liberals are determined to isolate and degrade Sarah. It is horrific how she has been treated.
Just wait until 2012......Sarah will be elected President and the liberal media will lose their minds and start bawling on live broadcasts!!!!! Won’t that be GREAT to see????? HAHAHHA!!!!!
A declining percentage, FWIW.
I would love to see the breakout on support/opposition of Gay Marriage by race and age. It was the Latinos and blacks who passed Prop 8 in California, and I heard (though haven't seen solid evidence) that whites under 40 support gay marriage in Arizona.
We can only hope. But the RNC old school has to get its head from where the sun doesn’t shine for this to happen.
She needs to get some private tutoring from her new friend Henry Kissinger pronto.
“Sarah as she stands now will NOT be elected President.”
I think Sarah is more than qualified to POTUS. First of all, she has something that Obama doesn’t have: MORALS. She also has a ton of executive branch experience (6 years as mayor, approaching 3 years as governor), which Obama still won’t be able to best, even after serving 4 years in office. She’ll have 6 years of gubernatorial experience in 2012.
Obama has no clue what he is doing. Sarah does. She has proven that she knows how to run a government. Obama couldn’t even be present in the Senate for a quarter of his time there (not to mention that he pretty much did NOTHING!)!
Sarah will run in 2012 and she’ll win!!!!!
Good! She shouldn't've appeard on Katie Couric's pathetic show, Charlie Gibson's pathetic show or any other pathetic left-wing media outlet dedicated to the election of Barack Hussein Soetoro.
Though I disagree with you that she has no standing nationally currently, I agree that knowing Kissinger is an invalueable asset to any politician. (Unlike creeps ala Brzesinski or ilk)
I couldn't have said it better myself. She wouldn't even get 40% of the vote. If the party nominates her, it will be nothing but problems for the downstream candidates.
Things can change in four years, but I believe that it's highly unlikely that she can rehab her image with the larger electorate while being sequestered in Alaska for 3 years. With a dem winning Stevenson seat, and Murkowski still two years from re-election, I don't see any good options for Palin before the next election.
I disagree, she would easily get all those who voted for McCain, which is 46 percent. Without having to drag McCain’s deadweight, pathetic campaign style around, she could easily attract another 5 percent or more of voters. She is already developing a growing number of supporters who are organizing across the country, and has a known ability to raise money as well, 2 important things any candidate needs.
She probably turned them all down.
The press will hound Palin endlessly. Things she does that the Rats do similarly they won’t mention. Things such as Messiah’s Armani suits, his numerous gaffes, his uhs. She could get nomination, but I highly doubt the election.
But it's a CNN poll.
I know that blacks and hispanics poll as more likely to be opposed to gay marriage, with the drop less drastic among the younger members of these groups.
You may have a point with respect to retaining McCain's percentage - maybe even pick up a point with the alleged conservative that stayed home. But that still doesn't get her to 50% of the vote.
Her only hope, and the only hope of whomever is nominated is that the luster of Obama wears off (not with his performance because whatever his performance, the MSM will declare his first term a stunning victory). But the luster of his racial make-up with a lot of new people voting for the first time because of he was the first black President.
The big question will be if those people will be as motivated to get to the polls the second time around.
On the late night Palin snob: good. Leno is usually fair in interviews but the rest of the Dem hacks like Letterman, Stewart can forget it...it would’ve been an ambush the likes of Rosei O Donnell on Tom Selleck.
On the CNN Poll...well, it’s CNN. They’re as honest as Iranian car salesman in California.
A senator can goof off and work the TV shows, but a Gov has real work to do and the locals expect that work to be done!
After BHO is disappoints and is ousted, Palin will be the only thing left to save the newspaper/media industry.
She has a chance because she get ratings and sells papers.
