Actually, a "winner" would have gone on all the morning shows and taken the questions head-on making the TV pundits gag on their self-satisfaction. What a concept, huh? Come on, at least try to use your brain. Twitter and Face Book: communication of champions!! Give me a break.

As for Kristol, just because you're ignorant of any "evidence" of his support, means nothing. He was talking up this "incredible Governor from Alaska" on FOX, a full year before the nomination and reports I read said he met several times with McCain to get him to consider her. No one in the McCain camp knew Alaska had a governor.

Now Deb, don’t knock Twitter and facebook. It worked for the Mighty O.

Getting out of the box maybe a good thing for us...

The game is a changin’....

She does things unconventionally, as did for example Ronald Reagan and Lady Thatcher when they ran, and it won them high office. That is a sign of strength and guts. Naysayers do things conventionally and then gripe at those that who do not. Rush Limbaugh had his road to success the unconventional way. He now has 20 million listeners a week. I call those naysayers life's losers. They have very little imagination. They see what cannot be done, not what can be achieved.

Sarah Palin has been taking chances most of her life, and she has won more than she has lost. It's called guts and courage. She didn't quote Douglass MacArthur by accident. Take another direction to succeed. He said, "I shall return." The meaning is clear. That is the language of a fighter.

I would bypass the chattering elite snobbish morning chattering class too. They are losing audiences anyway. No one cares what they think. Palin gave them a big FU. And good for her.

You are going to have to back up and prove that statement about Kristol supporting Palin a full year before her VP nomination (that would be August 2007, a mere four months after McLame's official announcement). There is no evidence of it, and most especially that he single-handedly got her nominated." He did predict on the morning of the announcement that she would be the choice, maybe a few months before dropped her name as a contender, but that's about it.

Drop your inane, childish insults.

Actually, I'm hopeful that this will be a continuing trend for our side. Politicians going wholesale directly to the public. It's a fundamental capitalist concept applied to modern media.

By bypassing the "middlemen" traditional media filters (almost exclusively controlled by the Left) and going directly to people's laptops, cellphones, etc. Sarah gets the message out that she wants heard with no cut up soundbites, filters, or Left-biased spin disguised as "news analysis" and the resultant distortion/perversion of same.
