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 Americas 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 McCains running mate. Brown found himself catapulted to national celebrity a month ago after he unexpectedly won the late Ted Kennedys 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.

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.

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.

More like a Ron Paul supporter. Look at the poster’s previous posts.
Very nicely said!

And those who have immediately went back to sleep.
