Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.

I’m an Alaskan. I just returned from a conference in Vail, Colorado. Every single person I talked with who learned I was from Alaska said something positive about Sarah Palin. (This was before her announcement.) Not a scientific poll, certainly, but after the first couple of dozen people express their enthusiastic support for Sarah - along with a disgust of the media and politicians in general - I have think that something’s up.
Great analysis. The elites do not see the impending tidal wave.
GO SARAH!!!!
Sarah Palin - Voice of the Middle Class
Representative of Average American
Palin PING!
Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.
At the age of 70, holding the toughest job in the world, being shot in the chest with a bullet one inch from his heart, Ronald Reagan did not resign. Instead he reenlisted for 4 more years.
Leadership is Honor Courage and COMMITMENT.
Shoot, on this issue, the MSM has turned itself into a whirling dirvish - like, rabid, spitting, monster, reminiscent of the Night of the Living Dead.
Talk about reactionary liberal press.I love it when we see their true colors.
Sarah cold cocked them big time!
Leadership is doing what is right.
Was it right for her to remain a lightning rod to keep the Governor’s office tied up because the DNC has targeted her for annihilation and would take the State down with it?
Oh, I guess it is better to stick it out for your OWN POLITICAL AGENDA AND TO HECK WITH THE WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE STATE????
This was probably the most courageous action I have ever seen.
Brilliant article. All this cr@p about being a quitter is going to look like the total BS it is in less than 6 months. The whole article is great but I especially appreciated the follwong:
*****
Palin intends to start another Populist movement — without the help of the “usual suspects” — professional image consultants, handlers, inside the Beltway know-it-alls, and especially the establishment press. She trusts her instincts and smells blood, and it isn’t her own.
By design, Palin did not notify the national media of her intentions. She will not give them access. And she will not bother to apologize. She will, instead, use them as the whipping post, much as they used her. Turn about is fair play, and the press has a lot of turn about coming. [Palin is using Twitter for her revolution, too].
Palin’s McArthur like stand will marginalize the press, the pundits, the politicians, and the oh-so-self-important elites that have produced the current economic, military, political, social, and cultural quicksand. She senses the people’s smoldering outrage and mounting fears.”
*****
This is going to be fun.
Awright people! Sarah does not need hyperventilating friends like this Colleen person.
We are conservatives, NOT (spit!) “populists”!
I hear that word and my spider-sense starts tingling, we do not need to trade one cult-of-personality for another. And Sarah sure as hell does not ask us to.
this is the first commentary that I can say I agree with completely.
Don’t care if it is a brillant move by Sarah Palin. I like Sarah Palin and I am voting for her to be POTUS in 2012.
Get out Obama.
Sarah is simply taking the battle to the enemy, instead of remaining behind the walls of her post.This makes her a lot like Ronald Reagan.
Sarah has sallied!
And that excuse for a president now in office will begin to unravel as Sarah gains momentum in the lower 48.
Add me to your ping list, please.
If nothing else what Sarah has done, purposely or not, is separate the wheat from the chaff in one swift swell swoop! Just look at those who share the attitude of most of us around here and then look at those those have been so quick to get on her case. What a great litmus test she's given us!
I say watch the politicians and see who lines up behind her then head for their PAC’s to support them. It won't be a big group but I think the pundits will be shocked to find out how many of us there are who will bust a gut to support her and them!
We seldom get such an easy and clear cut method to identify the RINO’s, and she drops in our laps on the eve of America's most important holiday. I'm not sure it's not a gift from the Lord! I would like to think that He's hearing the prayers of millions and millions of Americans who have not turned their back on Him and continue to worship and praise Him and see His continued blessings for this great nation!
Don't get me wrong, I am saying SHE has been chosen by God Himself and appointed to save us from ourselves, only that we America didn't become the greatest nation in the history of the world without His help and if He's indeed heard our prayers this is the sort of thing I would expect!
Reagan started running for president in 1968 while governor
of California...I doubt he would have kept the governor’s job if he had won the first time.
My gut tells me politically, she’s about to become the face of the tea party movement and their ilk. However, we will see what happens.
I think that was a spot on analysis
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. It comes into us at midnight very clean. It’s perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we’ve learned something from yesterday. - John Wayne
I would not classify it as brilliant, but it probably does give her a better chance to win the nomination. Due to difficult decisions on issues she would face in the near future, “getting out while the getting is good” may be smart politically.
