I am hesitant whether she can recover too, but remember that she had some huge wins this season. She has a lot of work to be a real national contender now, but she has the skills. Her biggest disadvantage is that Alaska is not a good launching stage. No one will think about Alaska again until the next time she is a candidate. Plus, the media will continue to hammer her while she is out of sight.
Remember, too, that Bill Clinton’s big debut in 1998 was a disaster. He had a terrible keynote that put the audience to sleep at the convention. He ended up the President 4 years later. She is a very gifted politician, so she can do it. I am not ready to jump on the Palin bandwagon, but I look forward to seeing her again in the public eye soon. I am sure she will now hit the talk show circuit with more regularity.
I am sorry but this morning I am just totally ticked at the negativity around Sarah Palin. After O’Reilly’s load of caca last night...a story without the name of the accuser spouting trash about Sarah....I was screeching at the TV. All this woman did was accept a nomination to be the Vice President of this country and she was INSTANTLY attacked in the most viscious of ways. She took that without complaint, held her head up high and did so with grace and verve.
She worked tirelessly every day to pump energy into a campaign with a candidate that should not have been on the ticket and saved him from being humiliated.
If she lost her temper, or she appeared in a bathrobe after taking a shower in front of her staff, or she bought her own clothes after being chastised for having clothes bought for her...SO WHAT?! I would have shown up naked with a knife in my hand if I had to deal with that bunch of idiots.
She gave her all to that old man and he NEVER ONCE stood up to the media and told them to back off. He NEVER ONCE defended her in public for the pain she was being given. The Republican Party allowed all of this terrible atrocity on her to happen and NOT ONCE did I hear them proclaim her innocent or attacked.
The Republican Party and that goofball McCain should hold their heads down in shame and disgrace. Instead of teaching this woman who had not been on the national stage how to handle this bunch of snakes down here in the lower 48, they threw her out to fight for herself...and when she did...and after the wonderful campaign is over...what do they do to show their gratitude?....they join the snake pit and attack her on their own.
She should have used her Alaska instincts and told them where they could go and what they could do when they got there...but she didn’t. She took it and she took it in style.
Sarah Palin will always be a heroine to me. She will always represent what a woman should be...soft but strong as steel....a lady who can take the heat. Shame on any of you that put her down in any way whatsover and believe anything that the lying media puts out.
Doesn’t know that Africa is a continent?...give me a friggin’ break...she was raised by two school teachers, for God’s sake. I believe Africa may have come up once in a while...even in a land far away like Alaska.
