When all is said and done, we may find CNN to be a more fair source of information on Gov. Palin than Fox News.

We are supposed to be a rational party, not swayed by emotion. I know that is often difficult, but PLEASE folks, try to remember that our goal is getting the best candidate to DEFEAT OBAMA!

Exactly, I have a certain candidate I favor but I am NOT trashing anyone else since ALL of these candidates would be a massively better choice then the current occupant of the White House.

People need to keep their eyes on the ball not get caught up in the emotions of the moment.

Obama's vision and ideological foundation is fundamentally anti American. He is by far the worst President in US History and must be replaced. We as a nation cannot survive 4 more years of his mis-rule.

Agree 100%. She is the weakest and the media will Palinize her. It will be very, very ugly. I do like her, but just can’t see her getting a fair shake from the MSM or the left.

.......and which Conservative Republican might?

I think the longer the race the better. It helped the Dems in 2008 with the Obama-Hillary race, which kept their views in front of the public and helped to set up and mobilize the state by state organizations that helped them win in the general election.

Todd is trying to say it is a bad thing. If the Reps make the election a referendum on Obama and his policies, then they will win regardless of their candidate. And this will be especially true if the economy remains in the doldrums. This time around, the hope and change candidate has a record and it ain't good.

She still has a limited name recognition and may still be viewed as a regional candidate.

More trash talk. Rather then pretend to offer her advice, tell us why we should support YOUR choice rather then trash talk the other candidates.

Of course they’re going to treat her that way. After all she’s an extremist and not a serious politician. They have to paint her as extreme so nobody will pay attention. You can only be a serious politician if you are for more spending and taxes, otherwise why be in gummit?

but I get a kick out of his media skills.

Two other politicians that seem to have this nailed also were Rummy and Darth Vader. I loved their pressers, and hoped never to miss a smack down of the DB LSM.

I just watched Bachmann’s interview with David Gregory on MTP....and it was brutal. It was a hatchet job, to be sure..but he cleaned her clock..she wasn’t ready for it..surely she shold have been prepared for the obvious questions..

As someone who has been involved in GOP Party politics for over 30 years, I have some advice for all the Candidates supporters.

The Palin supporters, like the Perry supporters, would be wise to drop this trash talk the other candidate tactics.

As Pawlenty learned this week, Republican voters are not interested in the least in fighting with their allies. We all know who the real enemies are and don't take kindly to those who do the Dems PR work for them.

Trash talking the other candidate then going to their supporters later asking them to support your candidate is a sure fail strategy. The way to win the Republicans and Conservatives voters is to tell them why YOUR candidate should be chosen.

Name recognition last week, what, just over 50% or was it 60%. Not very good for the media proclaimed leader of the Tea Party and the self proclaimed leader of the Obamacare opposition. My previous comment still stands.

Of course Social Conservatives deserve that type of treatment, they’re intolerant.

I tend to agree.

Make the left go after 2,3 or 4 of us at once and they look weak, pathetic and nothing more than gotcha journalists. Although the quicker we get a candidate the sooner he can fund raise. Saying that however,m I don't see how money can be the end all in this race.

The left will have so much more than us the contest has to be about ideas, charisma, likability,economy destruction and the rest.

They have already spread so many lies around that the voters have to be getting tired of it all.

You gotta wonder about media mouths that are willing to participate in tanking the country.

I got a kick out of the exchange on MTP between Gregory and Chuck Todd on Perry. Todd is in the tank for Obama and said that the number "26" is key. Perry has been in elective office 26 years and therefore has plenty of votes that can be used in operation research by the Dems, i.e., the politics of personal destruction.

I hope this time around the Rep nominee takes the gloves off on Obama and goes after him personally and politically. It is time to really vet this President and make him remove the veil of secrecy that surrounds his personal life. Hell, the MSM has already released Perry's college transcripts.

To this point much of the media is untouched by the consequences of the Democrats actions. At some point Obie and Co’s policies will really hit them in their pocket book or their hospital bed. By then thought it will be too late.
