Sarah Palin, New Party ?????
vanity | 07/03/2008 | taildragger

Posted on 07/03/2009 6:40:30 PM PDT by taildragger

Like many here, I am a political prognosticator. I followed Sarah Palin here for almost 2 years and told friends last May if McCain only chance is to pick Palin. So what does Sarah Palin's latest move mean?

It’s not what I believe, it’s what I saw.

Really? Are you sure you didn't see what you believe? And how would you know the difference?

You know, it hurts to see someone with you talent go to waste, please become that dark horse you are so patiently waiting for, then the battle can begin.

Now I doubt you would do that, because, you remind me of a computer hacker who is very clever but finds it much easier to break things than it is to create something.

Any person who can capture the heart and soul of the Nation can win, what can you do?

You’re a 100% correct. Third parties are a diversion to FIXING the GOP. That and that alone is the solution to maintaining some sort of rationality in American politics.

the best way of doing that is to wait and see who runs for the GOP nomination

Wait and see? Yet your attack mode is in full force, why don't you wait and see how some of this plays out? Oh never mind, your agenda seem clear.

You Romney people have quite a little party going.

I’m not necessarily a Rudy-for-President cheeleader. He’d be a heck of a lot better than Hillary/Edwards/Obama, and I won’t be miserable if he gets elected. On balance, though, I favor Romney out of the current crop of serious contenders, mainly because he has a track record of major success in both the private and public sectors (the Salt Lake Olympics being for all practical purposes a public sector enterprise). Rudy is entirely a public sector creature, and less likely to take actions that will tend to reduce the size of government. Intellectually, he understands the concept, and I think believes in it, but he simply has no practical experience in getting big things done through private sector activity, and thus has only a vague sense of what the private sector can do and how.

I’m waiting to see who steps up.

I am pretty sure Palin was waiting for the same thing, it didn't happen. Now you get what you get, and Palin will have a part in it, to your great dismay. Is your obvious disdain for Palin, because she is an unashamed Christian?

I’ve already seen Palin in action.
Waiting to see when it comes to her is like waiting to see if a horse with a broken leg can race again.

I recognize that seething hatred of all things Romney...
You were a HuckaBot, weren’t you?

Are you about to go off on an anti-Mormon tirade?

While all of us are able to express our opinion, you seem to be trolling each and every post about Sarah Palin to spread your negativity. I am dedicated to following you to warn others.

TO ALL: DO NOT FEED counterpunch, THE TROLL!

You change your story as much as Mitt does, in this post you mock people obsessed with electability.

Who cares what Terry McAwful says?
The New York City-based Transport Workers Union of America endorsed John Edwards this morning, calling the former North Carolina senator the most electable of the Democrats.

“The most electable Democrat” is the only consideration union goons — and Democrats in general — care about.

Forty-six soldiers - fully 25 percent of the company - have no work awaiting them, including many whose jobs vanished while they were heeding their nation's call.

Obama is strangling oil development--as Russia and China ink a historic oil and natural gas agreement--

--and Palin has closed the deal on the biggest civilian construction project in the hemisphere's history.

She's for drilling ANWR--Obama is dead against it--

--which parallels their respective stances toward America.

"You expected Palin to carry McCain on the National stage?"

Do you think the guy lies a lot and makes up his smears as he goes with no sense of consistency, only a conscienceless willingness to lie to advance his man Romney? In this post a vice presidential choice is meaningless.

"Whatever combination of votes that gives McCain the biggest coalition is alright in my book. McCain will have a center-right coalition.

McCain understands the first rule of VP picks, everyone does. Do no harm. He knows that Lieberman at best would attract the same kind of voters that he himself already attracts, and it would be at the price of a significant chunk of his coalition.

I’ll break down the dynamics of the VP selection: most people don’t know who the Vice President is, nor do they care.

The VP pick gets only two big nights: the acceptance speech at the convention, and the VP debate, which gets a very small audience compared to presidential debates. Other than that, the VP is invisible, and most people don’t start paying attention until after the convention where the VP is nominated.

The people who actually care who is picked or could pick the guy out of a lineup are hardcore political junkies, who just like football fan, already have picked their team. They’re not persuadable.

This is why a VP pick can not help and can only harm. The only people who care or follow the VP drama are people that are already onboard, and thus can only be lost by a bad pick.

Obama didn’t understand this. The only people who care about his VP choice are die-hard Hillary supporters, and he lost a good chunk of them by not picking her.

No one else cares who he picked. After all, he should know, he’s Barack Obama! Why would they care about the other guy on the ticket? It’s all about him, not the other guy. Obama fans have a hard enough time keeping up with the Kardashians, let alone Paris, Britney, Ashton, Brad and Angelina, this season’s American Idol, the Lohans, the Simpson sisters, and not one Corey, but two. They certainly don’t have time for some uncool windbag with bad plugs like Joe Biden.
