Run Sarah, run!

Don't think it would be any different for whoever the presumptive Republican nominee is.

“a grassroots fury of support” That’s right, if Obama brings a “billion to the fight” in 2012, we’ll have to “bring two billion”. Conservatives will have to decide what this “country is worth” to save it.

Thank you for posting this most interesting and thought provoking article, Mr. LakeEffect.

RE :” 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?”

If you read this first part he seems to define ‘Palin done’ as her giving up running in 2012 under this pressure from Democrats.

But later towards the end he throws this in indicating the opposite:

“If she doesn’t run, I hope she toys with the idea for the next several elections.Watching these hissy fits, which utterly destroy any small shred of credibility the mainstream media has left, is quite entertaining. ”

"Why else would much of the mainstream media be scrambling so often to convince independents that Palin isn’t viable? .....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."

Limbaugh put his finger on it when he noted that journalists don't go into their line of work to "get all the facts out." They go into journalism to "make a difference," which begs the question "What kind of difference?"

I have young college-agers who go to school with journalism majors. NONE of the ones I've met could be said to be anything less than doctrinaire liberals. They go into journalism for the purpose of shaping the news to leftist advantage.

She has my support.

ANYBODY who drives the liberal left in America as nuts as she does HAS TO BE GOOD!!

As long as they keep talking about her and covering her, nope.

There is no cure for their kind of dementia.

The Economist's cover story is about "civil discourse" in the US. The first sentence of the article begins with two words. Those two words are in all caps. What are those two words? Can you guess? Yep:

"SARAH PALIN"

How boringly predictable can these "Obama Stenographers" be?
