“I don’t see Abe Lincoln doing stand-up.”

I don’t see Abe Lincoln doing ANYTHING these days.

I bet at least 50% of the men here on FR would vote for Lindsey, so, yeah.

No, more like lying down. And decomposing- still.

I have no problem with her personally or politically for that matter. I'm just saying if she is the GOP nominee then zero wins reelection easily.

Obama beats Palin in the swing states? In N. Carolina, Indiana, Wisconsin, Virginia, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, Colorado?

Have you checked the mood of this country beyond your state of Illinois?

I don't agree.

I doubt Mitt or Sarah had much to do with the ratings. Jay has consistently dominated Letterman in late night. I will say though that I watched Sarah on Leno’s show and she was a hoot and seemed to get a great reception. If McCain had known how to run a campaign and had not been afraid of being upstaged by Sarah she would have been on Leno last Fall along with O’Reilly’s instead of wasting her time on Couric’s show.

As I’ve mentioned before, it would be great if she could find an executive level turn-around job to occupy her between now and when the election must heat up

assuming she intends to be a candidate...she seems to be enjoying the life she has...

"Sarah Palin didn't write those jokes, Leno's staff did. She just read them off the teleprompter..."

Are you basing this on some inside knowledge or are you just talking out of your...uh...hat?

right and...McCain wasn't supposed to win the GOP nomination, Scott Brown should have never won the senate seat in Massachusetts, and nobody was supposed to beat Hillary.

Did I mention New Jersey has a Republican governor? Yup, most didn't see that coming either.

“Mitt has nothing to do with it.”

Is the the way you see it...

Since OBAMA is who we’re up against, I can’t imagine anyone OTHER than Palin going head to head with him. She’s SO skilled at exposing his campaign for the “hopey changey” fraud that it was, and she’d do the best job in revealing to the public the true nature of his agenda! I don’t want anyone OTHER than her debating against Obama.

Palin’s word usage and her style is so suited against someone like Obama. She is the only one that I think Obama is truly intimidated by. Not to mention her personality provides such a sharp contrast to his. She’ll make the contrasts between the left and right in clear bare-bones terms that’ll resonate with voters.

Plus during this momentous time in our country, we need someone who not only “speaks” conservative principles, but EMBODIES them in a powerful way. Everything about Palin’s actions and life story testifies to true committment to the Christian values that the success of our nation hinges upon. Palin’s love for God, love for country, and committment to virtue emanate from the core of her soul. We need someone like her to REPRESENT what we’re about, even if we ultimately lose. I want HER to be the one communicating what I believe and stand for.

And besides, I’d rather lose with Palin than win with a R.I.N.O.

She made a great appearance. What impressed me most is that she was charming, funny and so at ease with herself and Leno. Good for her! She is just so genuine - you can’t fake it and she’s a natural.

You know what, she looked great in a jacket, jeans and black patent pumps. Her choice in clothes was perfect. (Thought I’d add my 2 cents into the fashion conversation).

Bill Clinton appeared on Arsenio Hall during the 1992 campaign while wearing sunglasses and playing the saxaphone.

He was elected twice.

Richard Nixon appeared on “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-in” in 1968 and said, “Sock it to Me?” Nixon then went on to win a tight election.

Fine, but she better be prepared to handle media trashing one-thousand fold then what she gets now.

If she comes back like a pit-bull instead of a crybaby I'll jump on board. I don't want to see that "soccer mom" personality. I want to see a shark who "smells" blood in the water. If that happens then I'm all on board.
