Win in a 3-way race? I thought even Limbaugh considers this suicidal.

IMO she’s going to go third party

If she goes third party then Obama might win, I don’t think that is what she or you want, however, what do I know

No she didn’t.

COURIC: Why isn’t it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries? Allow them to spend more and put more money into the economy? Instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?

PALIN: That’s why I say, I like ever American I’m speaking with were ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the tax payers looking to bailout.

But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up the economy– Helping the — Oh, it’s got to be about job creation too. Shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americas. A

And trade we’ve got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive scary thing. But 1 in 5 jobs being created in the trade sector today. We’ve got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation.

This bailout is a part of that.

.

This is what Palin said about the bailouts in her debate with Joe Biden.

John McCain thankfully has been one representing reform. Two years ago, remember, it was John McCain who pushed so hard with the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac reform measures. He sounded that warning bell.

People in the Senate with him, his colleagues, didn’t want to listen to him and wouldn’t go towards that reform that was needed then. I think that the alarm has been heard, though, and there will be that greater oversight, again thanks to John McCain’s bipartisan efforts that he was so instrumental in bringing folks together over this past week, even suspending his own campaign to make sure he was putting excessive politics aside and putting the country first.

Palin has already committed to supporting whoever wins the Republican Party nomination. No third party.

When we spend about $1T on education that has a massive drop-out rate and its graduates cannot write a sentence of coherent English, have no work discipline, and lack basic math, and for those who enter college the first two years are spent on remedial Math and English, why is anyone surprised that corps flocks overseas.

There are about 1 m jobs that go abegging because of a lack of mid-level to high-level tech skills. This is a structural issue thanks to the entrenched teacher-union interests. Unless and until we break this stranglehold by withholding funds to states that don’t allow for school choice, the problem will remain unsolved.

Domestically, we have 11 m illegals including those who overstay their visas and a liberal H1B program that is a spur to chain migration. Unless Palin or anyone plans to aggressively tackle these thorny issues, all the corporate bashing has only limited if not marginal validity.

China, is a currency manipulator. Romney is onto something here. But this again highlights a key issue of why US exports are unable to reach their full potential- read jobs.

Bush signed NAFTA. Perot was right. The “whooshing” sounds of jobs leaving for South America can now be heard loud and clear.

Palin has calculated she can win as an independent in a three way race

There are about 38-40% of the voters that are liberal and will vote Democrat no mather what, and that leaves only 60%
split two ways, and that is not gonna make it, so I don’t think so

Unfortunately, Palin opponents make up 60% of the US population...

Your math is a little more than weird. Total population minus supporters doesn't equal opponents or mostly opponents. It equals a mixed bag, a few of which are completely nutso opponents (probably a number pretty much equal to the hard left, of which there is, self-identified, just a little over 20%, that is, 20% of those in a poll asked to characterize their political beliefs, not necessarily 20% of the population at large). That leaves a big chunk of people who either know little to nothing about her or whose beliefs are shaped pretty much from what they happen to hear on the MSM. These folks are not deeply committed on the basis of such shallow recognition.

H.W. Bush was a bigger elitist than Wilson and FDR? Although Bush I is an upper cruster and an internationalist, he is a real gentleman and down to earth. His WH staff loved him, and were stunned to find that the Clintons were creeps. Bob

If I am not mistaken, Ron Paul did not go third party, and graciously bowed out when he did not get the nomination...

Oh, then in that case, Palin would be WORSE than Ron Paul if she goes third party.

If you think that even 10% of the population think long and hard about political issues, you are mistaken. Most people know little or nothing that is true about our system, so we have every chance to influence them as well as the Communists do. One thing they DO know is that our economy is a disaster, and I believe that a majority will NOT vote to continue the Obama misery. Thus, a President Palin is a real possibility. She MUST win! Bob

Why would she do that when she's got a perfectly good Party mechanism to work from? I think she understands the futility of re-inventing the wheel.

The Republican elites may not like her, but enough of the rank and file do, so that they could be her foot soldiers, and they would send money directly to her, NOT to the national GOP.

Former President George H. W. Bush came from a much higher strata of the US elite than either President Roosevelt or Wilson. I know President Bush from my time in the Reagan White House and from my experience in Iowa with the Haig campaign. I also guarded his plane at the Des Moines Air Guard base at night.

Just an aside - companies might fill at least some of these if they didn't regard anyone over 45-50 as senile.

That was canned BS rhetoric, prepared by the McCain people, I guarantee. Those are not Sarah’s words. Bob

Why are establishment scumbags like Dreher suddenly praising the Palin we have all known about and admired for years?
Something about this doesn’t smell right.

Rep. Ron Paul has already run a third party campaign:

“....Paul has campaigned for President of the United States twice before, first during 1988 as the nominee of the Libertarian Party and again during 2008 as a candidate for the Republican nomination....”

I would like for someone to explain why Sarah's negatives are any worse than Romney's or Perry's or Bachman’s.

Sarah's record in Alaska is incredible, given then short time she was allowed to actually do her job. After the 2008 election, the media and the dems continued to drag her through the mud. So much so, she could not even do her job. She made an honorable decision to stand down rather than hurt her Alaska. For most politicians, that would be unheard of.

I can't think of one negative that is actually real. I can think of many for each of the above named candidates, but not one for Sarah. Can you help? Can any of you name one true negative for Sarah? I would really like to know if I am blind and cannot see what others are seeing.
