Coulter countered, saying Palin can overcome any "quitter" label anyone associates with her. "I don't know that Sarah Palin wants to run for president," Coulter said, "but she's already a bigger story than the president of the United States. There were two stories yesterday. For the first time, this 'Mr. Popularity,' President Obama's popularity, public approval ratings fell below 50 percent, for the first time. Editor's note: Coulter was referring to the daily presidential tracking poll of likely voters done by RasmussenReports, in which Mr. Obama's approval rating slipped to 49 percent Friday, and stayed there Saturday; Rasmussen is generally viewed as a conservative-leaning organization) And a former vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin's public approval ratings fell to 40 percent (in the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll). What was the big story? She's already bigger than Obama. She attracts a crowd."

Coulter added, "She's up there, she's had 17, 18 ethics complaints filed against her. Everybody wants her to speak for them, everybody wants to attack her, and she has her hands tied behind her back because she has to be governor, not only in terms of fund-raising (for other GOP candidates and herself). ... She's too big to be stuck in a governor's office up in Alaska."

Frum was having none of it. "Michael Jackson is also a bigger story than the president of the United States, but the American people aren't going to vote for him," Frum remarked. "Look, she's 45 years old, she's been the governor of a state; if she hasn't got the expertise, she's never going to get it.

Since when is Coulter a "GOP operative"? Frum is the diva moron as always... but the CBS Bias is just hysterical. Rassmussen has Obama losing in a poll, and CBS has to insert an editor's note that Rassmussen is "Conservative-leaning". LOL!

Palin PING!

Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.

Good grief!!! CBS just couldn't let their Bambi be slighted by the Rasmussen poll so they have to lay out their lie that it's a "conservative" poll.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Sarah Palin and would vote for her as POTUS in the future but it just makes me sad that she has a bigger set of nads than most of her male counterparts these days.

She seems to be the only one on the Repub side that isn't interested in the polls and is only concerned with doing what is right by her state and the country.

go Sarah

Gov. Palin stands head and shoulders above the little Marxist bastard.

Great photo!

It doesn’t matter what Ann Coulter, Bay Buchanan, or the Frum person think. (I admire Ann and Miss Buchanan, though.) The voters will decide, if given the opportunity.

President Obama's popularity, public approval ratings fell below 50 percent, for the first time.

What was the big story? She's already bigger than Obama. She attracts a crowd."

I despise that little twerp Frum. I wish he’d call into Mark Levin’s show again so that Mark can cut him to shreds like he did last time.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Frum is an a$$. If she had stayed in Alaska he would have been the first one to say that being Governor of Alaska doesn’t give her enough experience. There is nothing that Gov Palin could do that would satisfy the SP haters.

[GeronL]

And what does the Zogby Poll say??? You know Zogby who voted for Obama?? He says 48% or something right??

[Vaquero]

Bay is a newly minted LDS member(she ditched her RC roots) and you can read that as being a supporter of ‘the haircut’, RINO Romney....Magic draws, Mass-Care, and all.

The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.

I can’t get beyond 5 seconds of Frum, so I don’t know how the rest of the clip goes.

[SandRat]

Exception to FR rules Granted RE:Coulter Picture Rule.

When Gov. Palin and Ann Coulter are in same story, a picture of Gov. Palin trumps a picture of Ann Coulter.

[4Speed]

Well, the state run media is immitating FOX by having two opposing vews, but /Quoting a WaPo and ABC POLL for anything is not reality.
A month from now, they will no longer be quoting those polls....they will no longert”FIT” the state run media message, Palin will surprise them like the Unemployment numbers.

[bayliving]

General Sarah Palin?!

I LIKE IT!

Lead the way General! Lead the way.......

[Tax-chick]

There is nothing that Gov Palin could do that would satisfy the SP haters.

Exactly.

[Sudetenland]

They are going to have even more fun now that Zogby shows the same thing :)
