February 14, 2010 Sarah Palin And Scott Brown Set The United States Frothing

She is a former beauty queen; he is a one-time nude model. She has written a bestselling memoir; he is negotiating a contract to write one. Both drive pick-up trucks and base their appeal on folksy common sense.
The former Miss Wasilla and America’s sexiest man, aka Sarah Palin and Scott Brown, may sound like contestants in a celebrity game show. But to the bemusement of many Americans, the unlikely duo are the most visible Republicans in the country and may become rivals to Barack Obama in the next presidential election.
Two years ago most Americans had heard of neither. Palin was plucked from the icy wastes of Alaska, where she was governor, to be Senator John McCain’s running mate. Brown found himself catapulted to national celebrity a month ago after he unexpectedly won the late Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat, which had been in Democrat hands for 50 years.
“Brown 4 Prez” speculation started the following morning. Overnight his favourite breakfast at a local cafe was renamed the Scott Brown special. On his first day at the Senate he was repeatedly asked “Are you going to run for president?” and the ScottBrown2012 domain name has been snapped up.
Darrell Delamaide wrote in The Wall Street Journal that Brown “is to the Republicans now what Barack Obama was to the Democrats in 2004 — a fresh face, a new voice, an ‘overnight success’ who has been working in politics for years”. It was no coincidence that Brown was the only Republican given a name check in his party’s response to Obama’s state of the union speech.

Looks like using a “hunk with a truck” Todd or Scott and their beautiful conservative spouses is REALLY getting to the left....The liberals are getting uglier by the minute. TOO BAD!
Palin is a Neocon in sheeps clothing and Brown is a liberal
IBTZ!

ALERT!
The poster Eternal Vigilance often posts on the Palin threads. What most of us have not known is that he is Chairman of a competing political party, and as such, has a vested interest in seeing Sarah Palin defeated.
A discussion with him is not an ordinary back and forth seeking the truth, his bias is to see Palin defeated and his guy gaining traction.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!
I wish she would write that on her palm and use it
to wave to the azzhole trolls.
Are you Buchaninite or a RonPaulie?
Naturally, Andrea Mitchell got it wrong again, thousands of people camped out over night in subfreezing temps during the book signing tour. The only ones who lined up at 4 and 5 in the morning, are at the places, like the Mall of America, that restricted overnight lines. It will be interesting to see how Mitt’s book signing tour goes next month.
More like a Ron Paul supporter. Look at the poster’s previous posts.
Very nicely said!
Why not take control of yourself and head back to DU?
If he can post his one time semi-nude photo on his Facebook, it must not be the type of nude these weenies of the Left have in mind. In fact, compared to what most of these left wing weenies have to show, it is a photo that would make them look like--well--weenies.
And those who have immediately went back to sleep.
