If you can take the shot to kill a doe eyed creature to provide for your family, you have the fortitude to make the tough decisions to kill the people you need to kill to keep America safe.

Worth posting if only to lay down a marker about where her favorables were before the book was released. At 40/50, there’s nowhere to go but up. Hopefully.
Palin became a bit of a sensation after John McCain tapped her as his running mate last August. But over the course of the campaign, her image suffered, going from a 53% favorable rating immediately after the 2008 Republican National Convention to 42% by the end of the campaign.
Palin’s ratings have not recovered, and her current 40% favorable rating is the lowest for her since she became widely known after last year’s Republican convention…
Palin could compete for the 2012 nomination because she is still widely liked by Republicans — 69% have a favorable opinion of her while only 25% view her unfavorably. But she may have difficulty succeeding in the general election, given that Democrats have overwhelmingly negative opinions of her, and independents view her more negatively than positively.
They offer no explanation for the slide but it’s not a mystery. Follow the link and see for yourself when the divergence between her favorable and unfavorable numbers started to grow. Anything important happen this past July? It’s not just Gallup either. If you scan Pollster.com’s poll of polls on her net favorables dating back to last year, you’ll find that she was pretty near even as recently as … mid-July, when suddenly the slide begins. In fact, Gallup’s numbers today are actually an improvement for her: The last three polls taken showed her approval in the 30s and her disapproval in the mid-50s. Proof positive, I guess, that her resignation has resonance with voters and will be a major issue in the primaries if she runs. I’ll bet Huck’s gaming out the “America can’t afford a quitter” ads as we speak.
Huckabee does a 5 minute radio commentary every Thursday immediately after the Rush Limbaugh show. As a result, more people listen to the Huckabee Report than Sarah Palin’s Facebook postings.

I meant her My Page editorials
She has been making some speeches abroad and enjoying her family and freedom
She is still Target #1 of the left
They do not discount or ignore her
Obama manages to toss a zinger at Sarah while slams FOX - with George HW Bush playing the post-partisan wimp for Hussein II’s free “service” TV ads
The 2010 and 2012 campaigns are being funded by conservative tax buckeroos
I think she’s just layin low and trying to get her financials in order and get her game plan in order. She knopws that everytime she says something the paranoid press goes bonkers so she is just trying to stay out of it for a while. A young, pretty, BRAVE conservative like Palin will be a formidalbe opponent for the lying slickster of Bo with all of his commie friends.
Where else other than China?

Exactly, and only the people on Facebook are reading her responses. The public probably believes those ‘zingers’ because they hear no one refuting them.
I understand coloradomomba, and I did like you told me. My book’s on the way. Put in a good word for me if you meet her.
What happened is that the RINOs and the liberals did a hell of a job of concentrating fire on her as the party establishment looked on and in many cases joined in on attacking her. The real question of whether or not she will ever be a viable national candidate again hinges on whether or not the damage done to her with swing voters, weak Republican leans, and weak Democrat leans can be undone. She has the base locked up and thats key but it’ll be interesting to see if she can begin to expand her support.
If you can take the shot to kill a doe eyed creature to provide for your family, you have the fortitude to make the tough decisions to kill the people you need to kill to keep America safe.
I tend to agree with you that i’d like to see her get a little more seasoning before taking the top job. Thats one reason I was sorry to see her step down from her post.
Hmmmm ..?? I listen to Rush a lot .. and I’ve never heard Huckabee.
I just don’t like Huck! Can’t watch his TV show.
Beats a left handed hook shot any day in my book.
I trust nothing from allahpundit.
.
Obama, Axelrod, Rahm, and many other lefties read her page
And it frightens them enough that they have to attack her and what she writes
Exactly.
Sarah single-handedly turned the tide on the healthcare debate, and “death panels” is now part of the lexicon.
She is driving the opposition, and its driving the opposition nuts.
Where else [abroad] has she made a speech other than China?
I have no doubt at all that the Obama people keep a sharp eye on her. But I say again, the public is NOT hearing from her.
Lol, I had a lady friend email and invite me to be on her Facebook page recently. I thought, no way, and the only way you can view others pages is to join.
Wow, that is cheap! Perfect for Christmas presents.
BTW, on a related subject, does anybody else here on FR notice how most of the political polls on Facebook favor conservative answers on almost all of the issues, with the exceptions of polls on: the legalization of illegal drugs (most approve), gay marriage (most approve), and Sarah Palin (most don’t like her)?
Sarah Palin has major articles on her face book pages.
One of which is in today on NationalReviewOnline
Her article on Health Care was was snarked at by Obama when he spoke to congress
She just spent the past months including Aug. here with her family in San Diego with her editor finishing her book.
Before release is No. 1 on Amazon and Barbes & Noble.
Since the Hucks, Mitts, third party loons etc. don’t have the conservative base and draw the crowds as Sarah Palin does must make them angry enough to try to trash Palin.
Nice try.
No ‘nice try’ about anything SoCalPol!
You can read back through months of my posts and see my animations of Sarah and my posts, and know that I support her.
If you followed posts here on this thread, I have said over and over that FACEBOOK isn’t going to do it!
I am one of the first ones who saw and posted about her book being number 1 on Amazon, check my pings out!
If you can point out ONE remark I said that trashed Sarah, please post it to me.
YOu don’t have to joing face book to look through it
and read the articles.
she has been tied up writing the book
who are you supporting for 2012
