It is way too early to know what we’ve got.

Let them campaign and see how they do before making such final judgments.

Either Palin reinforces the image the MSM has created of her or she contradicts it. If she contradicts strongly people are going to come to a realization that they’ve been duped. And then things could change in a heartbeat.

It is up to her.

People need to wean themselves of the MSM, fast. It is like a public enemy #1.
Want to donate to a good cause? Find an older Democrat voter who is retired, watches tv chronically, and has never touched a computer. Buy him one and show him how to use it. Use FR as your teaching example of forum participation. A few hundred dollars, a few hours, maybe a few beers. He might be on the road to recovery.
Can’t afford it? Rent it, or drive him to a free workshop at the community college. But get out there and advance the cause. The MSM needs a good stake in the heart.

The other thing on Palin’s charisma:

Few will say it out loud, but the pundits have always believed that the First Female Presidential Candidate was going to be from their side. Just like the first half-black candidate was from their side. HRC almost did it. It sure looks like there is a chance Palin might be the one. Keep in mind what this means for the left:

An entire generation of females will be lost from the left to our side. Let me repeat: An entire generation of females will be lost from the left side of the aisle to the right, and that is only if she is our nominee. If she actually beats Obama, no telling where this leaves them.

Once the lefties lose the advantage they have among women, they are electoral TOAST. Btw, this is also why I believe that Herman Cain is going to be their next target.

I really try to have a good Christian outlook on things and about people, but every time I see the name “Obama” I end up having to ask forgiveness for thinking, “what a waste of useful human organs”. When some “conservative” or “moderate” pundit includes that name in an article about how the pendulum swings back toward conservatives after each fascist idiot Americans periodically elect I have to ask forgiveness for thinking the same thing about pundits that I think about our dear president.

Is it just me or do other people think it's absurd to talk about the pendulum swinging both ways when you can start with FDR and see that it never, ever, swings back to where it was before the fascist democrat president got elected to give free reign to the fascist democrat congress?

This article should be posted at least once a month. The playbook is open there for all to see.

He didn’t mention that Mx]s. Wasserman-Shultz, the new face of the DNC, is there in an attempt to retain the female voters that went for the poser last time...and she will lie, lie and still lie to demonize the Republican candidates as anti-woman. She is as nasty and shrill as they come. Expect more derangement (as if that’s possible) from their side. I’m still waiting for the public meltdown of Obama. It was pretty obvious at the WH meeting with Netanyahu (the the dash for the European vacation). As soon as he gets back, he’s munching gum (nicorette?) and back on the golf course.
I still feel that one or two more incidents/challenges to his presumed authority is going to bring the one to the brink of a public hissy fit. I just wonder is anyone left in the Democratic party will recognize it and run against him. Would they then try to draft Hillary to “restore” the party?

I, too, loved that column and it is another one worth reading again and again. Reagan, Thatcher, Pope John Paul. How fortunate I am to have lived in those times. I am hoping history repeats itself; it’s our shores in danger now..from within.

The media are playing "divide and conquer" games against Republicans now, a strategy that worked in 2008 by leaving us with John McCain as the only candidate.

Just the media? Surely we can take some of that personal responsibility ourselves.

“We need a conservative party”

Better to retake the Republican party from the liberals. A purge is in order. Otherwise conservatism will become marginalized and we will lose.

"So I think that any successful candidate has got to make the mass of Americans feel good again about ourselves and our prospects."

NOBODY does the above better than Sarah Palin. It is obvious that she loves the USA as much as her husband and children, if not more. THAT is a big part of why the left TRULY HATES HER. She represents and espouses everything they believe is bad.

I don’t remember anyone saying Nixon’s 1972 win was the end for the Democrats. They still had massive congressional majorities and were a goliath at the local level. Nixon’s win was treated as an aberration.

I just worried about The Country surviving this traitor.

Good article, but:

...Truman, Humphrey, LBJ, JFK -- who would look exactly like conservatives today

LBJ would not be considered a conservative, by any measure. And at best, Truman and Humphrey would be RINOs.

Prepare for a level of political assassination and voter fraud that is unprecedented, and has never been seen before. Things were bad around the Civil War, but I believe that what's coming will be far uglier.

And the white house will be coordinating all sorts of accusations against republicans and conservatives, including threats of DoJ investigations, while quashing any complaints against leftists and dems.

Obama knows how to win with dirty politics, and his minions will unleash "Chicago Style Politics" on an unsuspecting nation. And the media won't just ignore it, they'll protect Obama and file all sorts of false accusations against Republicans (Dan Rather Pt2?)

At least 60 percent of America is on the dole individually and corporately to some degree or another which by the looks of it is probably going toward 70% as we speak. Then you have foreign countries who are taking foreign aid from us.

How long we can keep up this unsustainable economic model before the weight of it crushes us, I don’t know.
