Sarah has them all in the political cross hairs and is aiming at them like a moose who has no idea of the wrath that will soon be bestowed upon them. The scope is quite wide and there's plenty of room for all nonbelievers!

“According to Gallup, 63% of Americans say they would never consider voting for her.”

Most of them Democrats, no doubt.

. . .not the statistical studies that show her as the only vice presidential nominee in ticket to have hurt her ticket . . .

Rubbish! Mclame would have lost even bigger if not for Sarah.

Frum should quit wasting his time, and concentrate on instructing Republicans on the virtues of compromising with a left that has gone off the deep end. It seems counter productive for an Obamao voter and admirer to encourage Republicans to support the best candidate. His time could be better spent explaining how far left the Republican Party needs to go now, just to keep up with the Democrats.

Sarah drew nearly 5000 at a Wisconsin right to life event last Fri night. No interest, hah.

Rumor has it that David Frum’s website got its first hits from this screed. Frum should take his wife, and go back to Canada where they are frum.

"Behind the endless nattering about Sarah Palin’s qualifications for President is the assertion that her supporters aren’t qualified to vote." Great line from Doctor Zero

I guess the idiot had a typo. Plus McCain got the votes he got because of Palin.

David Frum sees himself as the savior of American conservatism. One obvious objection to his thesis: His proposed solutions are in fact practically indistinguishable from moderate-to-liberal Republicanism.

She got my vote last time and if she runs she’ll get it again. And if there’s no chance she could win why don’t they just stop talking about her and she’ll go away.

Saw a bumper sticker today that said: “Don’t blame me. I voted for the gold guy and the cute chick.”

Sarah Palin will probably never be viable because faux conservatives like Frum will always take cheap shots at her. They will take the cheap shots to ingratiate themselves with their real friends over on the left and marginalize the conservative base. Then they can really get behind one of their favorites candidates like McCain or Giuliani.

Conservatives have to put forward like-minded candidates regardless what the faux conservatives (Frum, David Brooks, Gergen) think. Once that is done, then faux conservatives will be forced to vote for what they consider the “lesser of two evils”.

If Sarah Palin's soooo unpopular and soooo unelectable... why bother writing an article about her?

Buyer's remorse that their guy is now proving how woefully inexperienced he is at governing, as was oft-repeated during the campaign.

"Palin is a Populist. "

Populism: A political philosophy supporting the rights and power of the people in their struggle against the privileged elite.

I contend that Palin is of the old definition of elite, the kind that made this country great. Unlike the socialist indoctrinated, entitlement crowd that's developed over the last two hundred years from the long spent sweat of their ancestors, Palin still understands the genesis of true excellence and wealth.

Oh...so he’s a flippin’ Canadian? That explains EVERYTHING.

Guess who else is Canadian and just LOVES to trash America every chance they get?

Bill Maher and Michael Moore.

I don’t think either Maher or Moore has acquired American Citizenship but if they did then, just the same as with Soros and Cao: Revoke their Citizenship and DEPORT THEM.

WELCOME TO AMERICA...NOW GO HOME!!!

Boy do I love being a natural born citizen of the USA; you can make all the pretenders SQUIRM.
