It was nothing more than a two-minute self-promotional spot, a campaign-style production that any candidate with a little cash and a capable consultant could splice together, yet Sarah Palins newly-released video managed to drive cable news television chatter and blazed across the blogosphere Thursday.
It was a remarkable display of forceand one that almost no one else in American political life can replicate.
The spot, scored with upbeat music designed to underscore Palins message of conservative female empowerment and the idea of a grassroots awakening, may not be enough to rehabilitate her polarizing profile in time for a 2012 presidential bid.
But the effect reinforced the notion that she remains perhaps the most electric force in the Republican Party, and suggested she is taking steps to professionalize her approach and solidify her role as the conservative movement's most prized endorser and fundraiser.
The slick web video marked a departure for Palin, who until now has primarily relied on a small group of advisers and pursued a mostly ad hoc political approach since her resignation as governor. She delivers the occasional speech and sometimes lectures the media via Twitter and Facebook tactics which play well with some on the right but which are out of sync with the global profile she enjoys.
But in recent months, by lending her support to a group of successful female Republican candidates, the former Alaska governor has established herself as a GOP political queenmaker. And with Thursdays video, she moved to cement her image as the country's leader of conservative women, leading a stampede of "pink elephants."
All of it seems to indicate a level of strategic thinking among her and her small inner circle that hasnt always been apparent.

“She’s got style, she’s got grace, she’s a winner....
She’s a lady, Oh, Oh, Oh, She’s a lady.....”
This is great. I love that she is thinking outside the box. We can’t rely on any old form of media to reach the voters. We’ve got to make our case to them in new, fresh, unexpected ways.

She can beat him and she WILL..but first 2010, lets take back the house and senate from those marxist bastards
*************
Unlike the GOP nomeklatura, I think she would set her sights toward dismantling many of the domestic policy perversions we suffer under - some of them of quite long standing.
God knows, what Reagan achieved in foreign policy, we desperately NEED in domestic policy.
Increasingly, she puts me in mind of Deborah.

There are FReepers who hate Sarah Palin more than they hate Barack Obama.
************************
A serious question. Do they actually hate her, or are they devoted to some other candidate? Some of the rage seems to be rooted in envy or resentment.
Pretty obvious that among the Freepers there are Frums.

Jeff doesn’t print the stickers; he ordered them from a print shop.
I doubt that he will be doing much of that kind of thing in the near future, as he has his plate full right now with his therapy. (Pray for his fast recovery!)
The lack of a link is very, very odd. Proof that they are scared
Think of the excitement (as well as scratching and clawing) that "Sarah vs Hitlary" would generate...
The "Thriller in Manilla", in comparison, becomes a big yawn...
If Sarch Palin took elocution lessons to remove any perceived accent problems, then she would be following a historical precedent.
Margaret Thatcher had a Grantham accent that could kill at ten paces, until she had it ‘elocuted’ away.
Andy Barr and Jonathan Martin are depressed this morning.

Sarah is dynamite - and as she proves over and over, she does it without a teleprompter (just a couple of notes on her palm.)
“Palin would be one to say, ‘I have no degree,’”
She does have a degree. An actual EARNED degree, as opposed to the Affirmative Action phony “degrees” of Hussein and Michelle. She paid her own way, and we’ll never know what commie or muzzie footed the bill for Hussein’s college years. Those people are disgusting.
