PING!
Yeah, I don’t wish any goodwill on two-faced Mitt...
...but...
...if I had Sarah Palin’s ear, would highly recommend that she gets serious & wonkish in her next public appearance. She needs to fight the perception that she’s a lightweight and a flake. The comedy stand-up routine, while fun, doesn’t do her any favors on that front.
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, to firm up her resume in the eyes of the mushy middle. (And the experience couldn’t hurt her in any event, anyways.)
Leno and Palin make the draw. So long Letterman.
Remember the long lines, big crowds in freezing weather for Sarah Palin’s book signing.
Mitt is starting out on his book signing in better weather but you know he would have to get rent a crowds in each town to match Sarah’s supporters.
Sigh, I wish we could vote for leaders instead of celebrities.
Just saw a clip of Sarah’s appearance on Leno. She did a stand-up segment. She was good and it was great to hear the audience response.
>>>The second night of Jay Leno’s Tonight Show v 2.0 dominated late night again with a 4.6 household rating/12 share in early household metered markets data from 11:30p-12:30a to Letterman’s The Late Show 3.1 rating/ 8 share.
On Monday, the Tonight Show had a 5.4/14 (household rating/share) to Letterman’s 3.0/8. Does this mean Lindsey Vonn is in the lead for the Republican nomination since she outdrew Palin?
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.
But MITT has a book toooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sarah could sell ice cubes to Eskimos, while Romney couldn’t give away icecream in Hell!
Palin was well recieved by the audience. I looked around and most people were aplauding her when she was introduced.
She handled Leno’s questions well and I think her stand-up routine sever her well.
So she is not running in 2012 is she?
Using popular shows with fairly large audiences (such as the 'Tonight' show) is savvy 'marketing' strategy for Palin, who needs to cut through the leftist smoke that endlessly demonizes her and never fails to call her 'stupid' in the hope that the average, apolitical American will buy the 'stupid' tag and not bother to check out Palin and make their own judgment.
It's no secret that conservatives have fairly vigorous debates regarding Sarah Palin's alleged 'qualifications' to be president and whether she has what used to be called 'gravitas'. I believe that she does, which, to the Palin-haters, would make me a 'Palin sycophant'. What bull!
Unfortunately, on a public website, you have to put up with leftist loons and cranky people who don't like any politician except some unelectable 'pure' conservative and that have time on their hands to clutter up conservative message boards with their prattle and transparent lack of seriousness as well as the ubiquitous DNC plants trying to tear down the one nationally-known Republican that embodies and lives conservative values. They both hate and fear Sarah Palin because, not only is she a solid conservative but she connects with the average American. Her book sold 2 million copies, proving her popularity as well as making her wealthy.
I'm old enough to clearly recall the left trying to portray then-presidential candidate Ronald Reagan as 'just a washed-up actor looking for a new role', as being a 'lightweight' and, oh yes, at 69, 'too old to be president'. 30 years later Sarah Palin is given the same treatment with different lines, i. e. 'not serious enough', 'no foreign policy experience' and, the big one: 'not too smart'.
It's funny how a few alleged 'conservatives' are so desperate to bash Sarah Palin and disparage her supporters on a conservative website. As I stated, leftist plants are everywhere. The harder they whine and moan about Sarah Palin and her alleged shortcomings (and attack those who support her) the easier their true colors can be seen. Fortunately, they aren't fooling anyone...I hope.
Romney is about as entertaining as watching moss produce sporangia.
