LIVE THREAD: Palin speech

[bayliving]

Why do you think time is on her side? In just 11 months she's managed to alienate about half the American public. Her base is finite, isn't reproducing very fast, and it isn't large enough to win a national election. Republican nomination yes, election no. Reagan didn't have her high negative to deal with, and didn't have ACORN or illegals or ex-felons voting like the Democrats will bring us by 2012.

So this is how a marine talks and acts? You just give up?

Oh God it's all over! We shouldn't fight at all. After all, we don't stand a chance! We're doomed!

Were they even doing polling like they do now when Reagan was running for president?

You sound like a coward to me.

Sarah's Twitter page

Andrea is very smart, well researched and well spoken. If she isn’t on Sarah’s radar yet, I hope she is very soon.

[Swampmarine]

It's a long story not worth the time telling because I won't be posting about Palin again until about 2012. We'll all know a lot more by then and in the meantime, I think we both won today. She's no longer Governor of Alaska and you've got her full time. Good luck.

Can we use this pic to kindly silence the “their marriage is failing because they weren’t wearing their wedding rings” line of discussion:

Thanks. :)

Ann Coulter on FOX now

I LOVE THAT PIC!

[Arizona Carolyn]

for certain! I forgot about it, got sick of the news and was watching a movie and my HUSBAND came in my office and asked why I wasn’t watching her speech that it was great... this is a formerly apolitical man (since Reagan has been gone — we both cheered when Reagan won).. and he loves Palin, never misses a chance to hear her speak — I bet he isn’t the lone ranger. BTW he loved her comments about the press!

That poll was also of random adults, not likely voters, not even registered voters. It was designed to create the narrative of "declining popularity".

Sarah's FAV/UNFAV according to Rasmussen (the most accurate poll of campaign 2008) is currently a few points better than Obama.

Anyone that sees Newt as a leader is marching against America and freedom.

[PghBaldy]

Obama- U.S. Senator: 2005–2008. Note he did not finish his term.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Sarah commented during the election that she had to remove her ring because the handshaking, causes the rings to cut into your finger.

Thanks

[Arizona Carolyn]

Some ass on Fox this morning with Jennifer Griffin had the audacity to use the fake complaints against her to say “she is clearly ethically challenged.” Jennifer never corrected him and I wanted to reach through the screen and shake them both.

[editor-surveyor]

You’re pathetic!

[SoCalPol]

Who ever Ann Coulter his supporting she is doing a great
standing up for Palin and letting Geraldo have it
she is on with a few others.

[Arizona Carolyn]

~LOL~ only she doen’t need a stinking teleprompter.... ~ROFLOL~ she actually speaks from her heart v a script.

[GnuHere]

A teleprompter wrapped in bubble wrap to protect it from crashing would have been funny...

[upsdriver]

As a fan and supporter of Sarah Palin, I am all for defending her. I just hope we don’t get to the point where we all have to think alike or get reported to the authorities. I am just making an observation and not trying to pick a fight with you because having read your posts over the years, we are in agreement much of the time.

"This is third hand so I can’t verify but, the story is some guy was out hiking and when he got back to his car there was a small ding in his door. A note on his windshield said “sorry call me with an estimate, Sean” and a phone number. The person called and it was Sean Parnell. No one was up there, he could have walked away but he didn’t. That tells me loads if it is true."

That's just simple integrity;
sad that it should be noteworthy.

Guess I couldn't picture our current President doing such a thing, though...
