While I was waiting for my radiation treatment today, I foolishly picked up an old Newsweak and read Howard Fineman’s take on Sarah and comparing her unfavorably to Nixon. What a pompous ass that old dub is.
The joke is the left really really believes (and quite a few cino’s) that SP will drive a stake through the conservative movement. Many on the left believe this so strongly they will turn out in drove’s during the primaries and vote for Palin. They underestimate the amount of revoltion by many average folk in BHO.
I read the whole article. The pundits tried to liken Mrs. Palin to Ronald Reagan. He had many, many years to hone his ideas..America First and Foremost. Mrs.. Palin has her ideas of America. Pres. Reagan ran against a president who did know splat from squad...Carter ran this country into debt with interest rates in to 20% area and higher. Mrs. Palin is not YET running for the Presidency...she is just an American citizen with her views of America as compared to this president administration, which is communist. Mrs. Palin’s view is America the Republic, where each and every person has a right to freedom of speech, free to live and work as they please, preserve the Judeo/Chrisitan beliefs this country was founded on. We don’t know, yet, who will be in the campaign for president...there will be some of the OLD standbys and a couple of new one. What interests me the most in the article are the those on McCain’s payroll who are now bad mouthing Mrs. Palin. He asked her to help him in the campaign...and a lot of us wouldn’t have tuned into his campaign had it not been for her. Now he is letting his campaign “staff” stiff her. Whata guy.
No one cares what “party strategists” think.
How many books have they ever sold between them? And how many states have they ever governed?
” The very notion of a Palin candidacy has been derided in recent days by some of the brightest minds in the Republican party”
Chortle!
Operative word should be they think they are the ‘brightest minds” in their minds. No one else thinks they are.
After all, these are the same people that run the most stupid campaign this country has ever seen, when they run Juan McInsane’s campaign last year. It's a bit rich for the most incompetent men, and the biggest electoral failures in the Republican Party to come around and offer any kinds of “informed opinion” as to what the Republican Party should do.
Who wants to go for his surgery at a doctor who just butchered his last patient due to his incompetence and stupidity?
Sarah Palin did more to raise opposition to Obama’s healthcare plan using a Facebook page than any of our “Republican” Senators have managed to achieve while they were serving in Congress.
The lady is going places!
Okay, it appears that most of the key Republicans it torments are campaign consultants who realize they now have a better chance of sprouting wings and flying than of working with her ever again and are now engaging in sour grapes.
And McCain's loss was not catastrophic?! Idiots.
I am so tired of having to vote for a Yale or Harvard graduate with a law degree in his or her hand. I want our country to be “governed” by someone who is holding our Constitution in their hand.
I did and found out that McCain and his cronies as well as a college professor don't think she could be a successful candidate. I really respect their opinion...NOT. Go Sarah!
“`Were she to be the nominee, we could have a catastrophic election,’ Steve Schmidt, John McCain’s presidential campaign manager last year, said recently.”
Now, I don’t care who you are. Folks, that’s funny.

I’ll let my tagline speak for me.
They (her rino critics) seem to be afraid of her because she has the ability to bypass the usual route to the White House.
This route appears to include finishing second in one cycle to get the nomination, kissing ass to the East Coast Elites, and traveling the country for at least 15 years. This is the script that the rinos want her to follow. That way she can be of use for them, by keeping us rubes in line and giving them money so that they can keep nominating rinos to the senate, congress and state offices. She knows this, and she is not willing to play by those rules. That’s why I love her. I do feel that she is one of us, and she motivates me. The same can’t be said about the rinos.
We should listen to these people. They said the same thing about Reagan, and we all know what a disaster that turned out to be...

Since when did Wasilla supplant Juneau?
I had no idea that was even allowed.
why are “key Republicans” tormented by Obama & other like-minded liberals who are hell bent on destroyinh America?
The main problem I see with articles like this is that they assume A) Sarah is not doing her homework between now and 2012 and B) Not understanding the difference between a lack of experience and a lack of capability.
It’s true that Palin’s inexperience with national politics led to a few stumbles on the campaign trail in 2008. It’s also true that she came up to speed more quickly that just about any candidate I’ve ever seen, regardless of party.
IMHO, it’s very much in Palin’s hands as to whether she is a viable 2012 candidate. True, history is against her a bit. She was the VP candidate for a losing Presidential campaign, and the endless media savaging has left her image tarnished among a number of independents. But if she can come out strong on the issues early on, and articulate a clear platform (something McCain never did do) for her candidacy, I think she could be a very viable candidate.
