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.

She is a friend to each but they are pretty obviously not friends with each other. Beck is too Libertarian for Hannity. Hannity thinks beck is off of the deep end. Not alot of love lost between these two as they compete with each other for the same audience and the advertisers, but this is not a worry. It is good that they are not a monolithic group clearly and publicly. But, on Sarah they all agree.
This doesn't make anything a slam-dunk but it is insanely helpful. Right now, she has to avoid the Fred Thompson syndrome, playing it coy a little too long. And, I believe this is the decision point and this is why the pressure is maximum at this very time. There will be more and it will be withering. But, I believe she has already made up her mind and we should see this soon.
There is no cure for their kind of dementia.

Where is its effect? - It is nowhere to be found.
No candidate in the last half century has enjoyed her level of support this early in the campaign cycle. She is on a roll like on one before.

"SARAH PALIN"
How boringly predictable can these "Obama Stenographers" be?
... 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?

Amen! Good piece here. Thanks for the flag.
She’s gonna run. She’s gonna win — and the libs are gonna screeeeeeeeeeeeeeechhhh!!!!
This is going to be so much fun!
The 'Sarah is done' mantra is getting old and lacks credulity, as are those who align themselves with this tired rhetoric.
I know the democrats and their allies in the media are always trying to instill hatred for Sarah, and they work overtime to undermine her at every turn. Yet, Sarah rebukes them and rebounds to their eternal dismay.
Oooooh. I love it when someone quotes Alinsky. Nothing like an overdose of their own medicine.
We have money ready for Sarah's campaign if she decides to run, and we know the money won't be worth a Continental if something isn't done soon. When she declares the money will pour in.
Sarah Palin is the one we can trust.
Some on the right are beginning to get it. If you want to defeat socialism, you have to go where it lives.
Hiya Vic........you got that right in spades.
Note the vicious hate speech in our comments.......
However, the remaining so-called contenders are such gutless RINOs I do not see how she does not get the nomination over those losers.
Let me ask you. What would you recommend that we do to stop this "character assassination" by the left?
Do we stand with Sarah Palin, who btw is willing to take them all on, and defeat the leftist bastards? Or, do we behave as has always been done and let her be sacrificed because it's too hard to do otherwise? Sacrificing her is something the RINOs would do.
If Sarah Palin won't stand down, I won't either. Victory is ours, if we want it.
Any Republican candidate is going to undergo a "Quayling". Should we allow the MSM to pick our candidates? Or should we pick a candidate who has proven they can stand up to their "Quayling"?
When the time comes, the half of the voters who don't know Palin from Tina Fey will have plenty of opportunities to learn who Sarah Palin really is. And half of them are going to be surprised that they actually can support her.
Well, you need to send me a few links to check them out. :-)
I like this line:
Got 'em right here. Weed... acid... psilocybin... salvia... Red Bull... but so far a negative on tea. And transfats.
Well, if I had to venture a guess, I'd say it was a woman. Late 40's. Likely an ex-governor of a US state. One capable of mind control and superhuman childbirth abilities.
LOL, she sure gets them all twisted up........
LOL! Yep, funny stuff.
:-)
Hey, are you guys getting this cold front down there?
