Ping!
We can’t force the media to do anything, because their views are dogma to them.
Sarah Palin understands her strengths just the way that martial arts fighters understand body mechanics, leverage, etc. She is ridiculed out of fear because she does not crumble from the media assaults.
I anticipate a great race from her and her victory. Election day is eighteen MONTHS away. She has set her pace accordingly.
I don’t believe that she is going to run but if she does I hope the rest (Mitt, Huck, Newt and Daniels) stay out. Leave the field Cain, Palin, Santorum, Paul, Pawlenty...Johnson. Yep, in that order too.
Palin 2012 YES!
Madame President Sarah Palin(strike up Hail to the Chief)and First Dude Todd Palin.
Huck would have surely lost a re-election race because he was too liberal for a center right state (Arkansas) whereas Mitt would have surely lost his re-election race because he was too conservative for an ultraleft state (Massachusetts).
That being said, neither of them are conservative at all on a national scale. Huck would win the caucus in Iowa because it is tailor-made for him: socially conservative but fond of big government populist issues like ethanol. Likewise, Mitt would win the primary in New Hampshire because it is tailor-made for him: fiscally conservative but full of RINO moderates who love giving the finger to social conservatives.
Nationwide, Sarah would hand either their head on a plate in a one on one contest.
here is an old article that says something similar before Gov Palin became a threat to the One and the gop Dc establishment:

The wipeout in the 2006 election left Republicans in such a state of dejection that they’ve overlooked the one shining victory in which a Republican star was born. The triumph came in Alaska where Sarah Palin, a politician of eye-popping integrity, was elected governor. She is now the most popular governor in America, with an approval rating in the 90s, and probably the most popular public official in any state.
Very valid points. She is a problem election winner. She also won a lot of votes in 2008, despite a terrible top of the ticket. The exit polls and post-election polls were rigged to create a narrative for the left that she was a turn-off, that they used to continuously bat her over the head since. She still would have a hell of a battle to win a national election, but this shows she has the capability to pull it off.
Palin’s negatives mean nothing right now. Hillary Clinton had similar negatives right up till she announced a run for the White House and quickly turned those around. Save for the caucus states that Obama dominated through organization, she would have been the Democrat nominee.
Thinking back on the debate the other night, had Palin been out there she would have blown that 2nd Tier field out of the water with stature alone.
It’s pretty clear to me that Palin is probably the best candidate we have. Once she gets in her overall negatives will fall and she has every chance to win the nomination and defeat Hussein.
I am a Palin supporter, but I don’t think that the comparison is fair.
Alaska is a weird Republican state, but it is Republican. Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts are otherwise.
Even Arkansas has a thick Democrat streak, and only has started voting Republican in recent years as a recovering battered wife who is prone to relapses.
Frankly, I kinda wish that Romney governed Massachusetts as if he didn’t care about re-election, or any future election. Pawlenty (based on what I saw in the last debate) is still afraid of offending his eighth grade typing teacher. Santorum has won problematic elections before. He pooch-kicked a tough one in a tough year. Staying away from Specter wouldn’t have helped enough, it would have just changed the people responsible for the 18% margin (but it did sully the Santorum brand).
Palin is a game-changer, and is a gifted executive with unusually good instincts. That, and her being on target on 90% of the issues is enough to back her. I see no need to brand Pawlenty and the rest as losers in order to support Palin. Well ... maybe Romney. He’s a loser in that Michael Huffington kind of way, only he has a wife who won’t drive him to deviancy.
Well, we know now that facebook numbers do not guarantee success, yes? ;-)
I just think that Palin wins if she runs. She wouldn’t be my 1st choice to be the President, (she’d be 2nd), but if there was some separate category of Republican Nominee, or “Candidate” vs “President”, she’d be my #1 for that.
You have to be famous enough to win on the Republican side, and there are very few who are. Palin absolutely is one.
Known by everyone, known as a Republican, known as a Conservative, well liked by Republicans and Conservatives,
shiny and charismatic. Beaten harshly by the media, who looked under every rock and found nothing.
She is clearly the best, by a mile.
The rest of them are either:
a. RINOs and lefties. (Huntsman, Huck, Mitt, etc.)
b. Beginners who are badly in need of proving themselves and gaining experience (Cain, West, etc.)
c. Crazy (Ron Paul)
d. Election losers (Santorum, Pawlenty)
e. Great publicists but not to be trusted (Trump)
Then there’s Sarah. Rock solid values, brilliant leader, proven record, drawer of enthusiastic crowds wherever she goes, HATED by the MSM and the left—for good reason.
Interesting assertion. It might be applicable were Alaska a good microcosm of the entire country. As it is, it’s pretty lame.
Good job. The only polls that give hope, however slight, to the likes of Hucksterbee, Mitzy Romney and Pawlenty are always taken in the heavy left fever swamps/petri dishes of Georgetown, Cleveland Park, Manhattan, Martha’s Vinyard and Hollyweird. Amazing that the MSM still thinks they can select candidates for conservative Americans.
Actually, that should read: “reminding us that (insert name here) nomination spells certain defeat for the GOP in 2012.”
She has to get thru the primaries, to do that She has to get out a lot of people to vote for Her. And remember, democrats vote in our primaries. McLame comes to mind. On this site She wins, Big.
We have not fixed our selection system and I don’t know why
The polls that show Palin way behind are skewed to the left because of oversampling of Rino's and rats. Sarah will win if she is the nominee.
Just the fact that the LSM and the left claim they want her as the candidate to go against Obama makes me think she could win. They are trying to trick us into thinking they really want her but doing it pretty poorly.I think they are really scared to death of her.
Sarah is Patriotic
