she has been dan quayled. I could spend days talking about the current media bashing being BS but it is over.
Palin is toast as anything but maybe a VP
This is just me, but I am sick of eastern educated elitists.
I would like a regular guy or gal for once.
With a growing rate of Indian immigrant Jindal in California plus will favors both the Asian and Latino community a Palin/Jinal would take the Whitehouse in 2012.
She's been savaged pretty hard in the media, but Americans love a comback story. The next few months will be filled with backbiting stories from McCain's handlers who tried to turn her into something she was not, but that will help to distance her from that fiasco.
We face a very trying few years ahead, hopefully there will be leadership from within Congress that stops some of Obamunism in its tracks. Among the group of true conservatives that still retain seats from the 1994 freshman class, we may yet see someone emerge to the top of the heap.
If not, Govs. Palin and Jindal will be able to concentrate on making things better for people in their respective states, and will provide us leadership to turn the socialists out. The important thing is to purge the GOP of all the RINOs and compromisers who got us to the sorry state we were in this last year.
Agreed. The "unnamed staffers" who are releasing details, true or false, are classless and do themselves no good. If Palin was in over her head, then why did the McCain campaign pick her?
The VP choice was a political choice delibrately made with chosen criteria ("We need somebody that is A)Female, B) Conservative and C) is a Governor").
Only Palin fit that criteria.
If Palin was not ready for prime time, the McCain campaign has nobody but themselves to blame because they created those criteria.
To be honest, even Bobby Jindal was not ready for prime time in this election as he has only recently been elected Governor.
To be honest, Barack Obama is not ready for prime time in the Oval Office either.
What we need to guard against is not falling into a "cult of personality" like the Dems. Just because Palin was cute, lovable and the only conservative in the 2008 race does not make her a rational choice for the Presidency in 2012.
