Sarah Palin, political genius

The pundits are wrong. Conventional wisdom is wrong. Sarah Palin's decision to step down as Alaska governor was a brilliant move.

snip . . .

The pundits call her a quitter, but let's be honest - the pundits never liked her to begin with. Better to take one hit for stepping down and move on than to stay in Alaska and die a death by a thousand cuts.

Governor or not, Palin is still the biggest star in the Republican galaxy. After all, who else have they got?

[lowbuck]

While I dislike his politics I do think the man knows what he is talking about. Or you could say, "he is not afraid to call a spade a spade".

[DogBarkTree]

Palin is still the biggest star in the Republican conservative galaxy. Fixed it.

[libbylu]

I have emailed Brown before, he is so easy to read and makes sense. Not the garden variety liberal talking points mush.

[Terpfen]

After all, who else have they got?

Jim DeMint. Pat Toomey. Marco Rubio. Bobby Jindal. Haley Barbour. Michelle Bachmann.

Who is Sally Quinn?

FYI, If you have not read this article, read it! (link below)

It's more than just about PALIN. It's about how the OLD ELITE-LEFT MEDIA used to deal with the ones they did not like: PALIN. We must be aware of how they operate so we can defeat them when they try as in Palin's case now.

Thee Willie Brown? Whoa, this is fascinating. And concerning.
That guy is a dangerous character.

[Venturer]

Like the man said: who else have we got.

Zip, zilch, Nada.

Da Mayor had an ethical bypass at birth, but the man is not stupid.

All nice guys and gals, but none have Palin power.
If each of them held an event... who’ll get the largest crowd?

[ElPatriota]

Oooops I forgot the LINK :)

You'll like it.

All nice guys and gals, but none have Palin power.

There are very few who do. Not the point.

[lowbuck]

There are other good solid Republicans, however, Sarah Palin is a lightening rod that attracts the people of this country looking for someone like themselves who speaks the truth.

It also attracts the hatred of the left which is so visceral that, politically speaking, they realize they must destroy her lest she continue to rise in national politics.

As I have said consistently on other threads, Sarah is now free to help get some good men and women elected in the 2010 cycle. She builds her base and some political paybacks.

In 2010 she can shoot for the top, play second banana or wait until 2016 as she is young and has time.

I'm beginning to agree with you. My wife and I are not going to leave the GOP, but we need to make the party leaders realize the party members are NOT happy with the national lack of espoused and exercised principles. Palin will do us a world of good even if she is never elected President.

From the article:

“If ever there were a vivid illustration of the reason the New Media thrives while the old liberal establishment media is dying on the vine, its television ratings anemic and circulation numbers dropping like a stone, it is Ms. Quinn’s presumed thunderbolt from what she doubtless once considered a print and electronic version of Mount Olympus.”

Bada Bing, Bada Boom!!

Thanks for the link, everyone should read this article.

I read the comments, i must say i have never seen such poor writing, it was laughable, folks that can not compose a simple sentence calling Palin stupid.

[ElPatriota]

Yes, that is exactly the point! Fortunately, we have people in the NEW media who are on our side, like this blog favarable to PALIN.

Also, a very good article on Sarah Palin and a good conservative website or so it seems. Read it (link below)

Hey folks, the formula is simple: We reward the ones that stand with us, and screw the ones against us like the LEFT AND the Replublican-LEFT (oh yes... they are there)

I am trying to keep this PICs as small as possible but still somewhat readable. Should I make them SMALLER? I really don't know how you see these on your monitors...

Regardless of his politics, Brown is a shrewd politician.

[stevestras]

Good article, thanks.

[caddie]

I read it, and wow!

Did Jeffrey Lord totally disembowel Sally Quinn or what?

Thank you, Algore, for the internet.

Nice post!

[upchuck]

Willie sez, "...she's still second only to President Obama among politicians the public is interested in."

And I agree. Temporarily :)
