Sarah Palin’s detractors in the media are certainly prone to wishful thinking concerning the Cuda’s potential as the Republican nominee in 2012. Since Palin’s statement on the Tucson tragedy, some have written her off as a serious contender for the Republican nomination. Doyle McManus states in the LA Times that:
…she’s not going to be her party’s presidential nominee.
I disagree, Mr. McManus. As of now, if she wants it, it is hers. Of course, that may change, but a Palin run for the nomination would unleash a grassroots fury of support unseen on the right for a Republican presidential nominee in recent memory, and her detractors know it. Why else would much of the mainstream media be scrambling so often to convince independents that Palin isn’t viable? Plus, many of these people just do not like Palin and what she stands for, which is a pragmatic, principled view of government and fierce American individualism. Mainstream media types generally prefer theorizing about complex strategies and solutions to problems that were most likely created by over-theorizing in the first place. It’s how they were trained in academia and sometimes they just can’t help it. However, life isn’t complicated, and Sarah Palin knows it.

Of interest ping.
The Left has set themsselves as the party of civility. If Sarah runs let’s see how they behave. snicker snicker.
Excellent take. Tks for posting
She got my vote
Sarah Palin will go away after she serves her 2 terms as President, dear liberal friends...
The appeal of Palin is illuminated by many of the images/perceptions of both her and President Obama. Palin the badass hunts, fishes, climbs mountains, shoots caribou, rides in small planes often; the Democrats are represented by Obama, a man who flinches while watching a judo exhibition and wears a safety helmet for a leisurely bike ride. Fair or not, this perception exists. Palin is Theodore Roosevelt in a size 6 suit, American flag pin, and some kick ass black leather boots, Obama is an academic who looks uncomfortable in jeans, throws like a girl, and can’t name his alleged baseball heroes from childhood.
Yup, this is what they really fear, an enthusiasm for a pubbie candidate not seen since Reagan. This goes for both libs and rinos. No matter how much they claim they want her to be the candidate because they believe she would easily lose, their actions say otherwise which indicate they are extremely afraid of her being the candidate
Reports of her political demise are greatly exaggerated.

This article is excellent. Everyone should print out a copy for their coffee table.
I find the leftwing’s faux outrage, hate machine to be very viral and well cordinated.
Someone on another thread gave a number for how many concrete policy positions Sarah has taken on her websites and in her columns and books.
If anyone knows where that post is, please tell me. I would like to bookmark it.
Thanks.
I love seeing the detractors state that she is losing or never had the Independents. Please see my tagline.
The incessant Palin-drone in the media will keep her in the public’s mind until the election season starts. The worst that they could do is ignore her, but they can’t.......
There is no such thing as bad publicity......
I'm betting Onyx or Brices will know, I haven't seen it.
However, the remaining so-called contenders are such gutless RINOs I do not see how she does not get the nomination over those losers.
thanks
