Is Sarah Palin Relevant?
CBN News' Brody File ^ | April 9, 2014 | David Brody, CBN News Chief Political Correspondent

Posted on 04/09/2014 12:59:04 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The Brody File was watching Sarah Palin’s comedy bit on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon and it made me wonder the following: Is Sarah Palin relevant? The answer is a bit complicated. Is she taking seriously as a politician by the liberal mainstream media? No. But do they still pay attention to her every move? Yes they do.

Why is that? Yes, part of it has to do with the fact that there is a certain carnival atmosphere surrounding how she goes about her business. I mean, she knows how to command an audience and entertain. But let's not forget for a moment that she still has a robust, dedicated following. I'm not just talking about her millions of followers on Facebook and Twitter. I'm talking about how in certain congressional districts in this country, her word matters. An endorsement from Sarah Palin can make a difference for a candidate in a tight race.

Also, let's be totally truthful here. As much as the mainstream media can't stand her, they listen to what she says. She has a megaphone. Liberals might call that scary but Palin has the power to help shape the political conversation in America. And that's the dirty little secret liberals would rather not here. But it's truth. So, is Sarah Palin Relevant? “You betcha.”

Yes. Bryan Smith should be a high-priority race.

I like her picks so far this year.

Sarcasm only works when used properly and well….if you were using sarcasm, you did neither.

You just babbled.

On Jeopardy last night, under “Quotable Quotes”:

Sarah Palin said it’s the difference between a hockey Mom and a pitbull.....

OH YEAH !

Just seeing her name gives me goose-bumps.

Except that she can’t use money from SarahPAC for her own candidacy.

You can stop commenting now on what ship has sailed or not sailed.

Facts matter.

“...but she hasn’t run for anything in some time.”

Tell that to Huckabee (last race 2008) and Jeb Bush (last race 2004).

I certainly hope you're right, and that ship's still in port. And regardless of whether she could use SarahPAC money for her campaign, she'd be a formidible fund raiser.

I'd love to see SP in the Senate, standing beside Cruz, Lee, and Paul. It would set her up for a POTUS run in 2020.
