The expansive asphalt parking lot in Fair Lakes Shopping Center in Fairfax Virginia was full and there wasn't a single Prius in sight. This is SUV territory and the campaign sticker on the back window of one big Ford summed up the mood: a play on the Obama campaign mantra of hope, this one said simply - "Nope".
There are not too many Obama fans in Fairfax but there are hundreds of people prepared to line up for hours in the snow for a chance to meet the one political figure they believe might still be able to rescue the nation from "socialised medicine", "Liberal intellectuals" and "elitist" newspapers like the New York Times.
Sarah Palin's book Going Rogue is the publishing sensation of the moment here.

Well, not meaning to be a “know it all” or an “absolutist”, as I like to call them. If I were one, it was during the 06 election, and I had my clock cleaned that November night.
I have been humbled.
I understand your cynicism.
I actually didn’t think the pubbies had a chance last year. Their nomination process is pretty flawed and they definitely had a flawed nominee.
I didn’t like their odds. I knew they were toast after the economic meltdown of September. Dennis Kucinich could have beaten John McCain. But who could have known Obama would have been this bad??
The Wright stuff and the Ayers info never really saw the light of day, part of the whole “flawed GOP candidate.
The 60 whores, as I like to refer to them, will be running as far as they can from Obama during the 2010 elections.
Still you are wise never to underestimate the stupidity of the American voter.
Hopefully, I’ll be right next time or I expect to be living in another country after the 2012 election,...I’ll move to Texas.
"The Duke," lol. There was once, and may still be, a website that specialized in wind-up political toys, and I ordered a gag gift for an extremely leftist bar owner in my acquaintance, and gave it to him for Christmas.
It was a Dukakis bobblehead with goofy helmet, riding in a tank ... wind it up, and there he goes, with that strange frozen grin, the schnozz and the unibrow, capped off by that altogether too large helmet, just bobbin' along.
Even that bar owner couldn't help but laugh, and he'd worked for the campaign.
No, no and no again.
This isn't the summer of 2008. We're ten days away from 2010.
We need to worry about 2012 in addition to 2010 right now. If we don't the left will push/pick our candidate for us.
Whether we wrest control in 2010 or not, 2012 isn't moot.
Bold words, coming from a noob.
So I guess that Soros-organized and funded Rat campaign to paralyze her government, smear her name, and bankrupt her family had nothing to do with that?
No, more than likely he has a job to do and is paid well to do it. Check his sign up date.
He's already doing it, and has been doing it since the election. Have you read any of the Rat fundraising literature and emails?
“You Betcha...” dittos.

I think we agree. We cannot underestimate democrats. They will go to any extreme to seize power. Stealing that seat for al franken is a good example.
Additionally, we cannot underestimate the influence of the MEDIA. After the rev. Wright tapes came out, I thought media coverage would force him out of the democratic primaries. Instead, the media made excuses for him and allowed him to stay. If it was a white republican that had such a racist past exposed, there’s no way they could have stayed in the election. In my opinion, the extremist left wing MEDIA is the biggest thing we have to overcome.
Again, I don’t have much faith in the American people. My faith will not be restored until I see these thugs (hussein obama, liberal senators and representatives) are voted out of office.
If Palin were to win the election in 2012, I’d be thrilled. I am just not very confident she would beat obama. That’s the only reason I want someone else step up.
Would I vote for Palin over obama? Absolutely. I’d vote for ANYONE before I voted for him.
Mike Pence.
Mike Pence would win.
You’re right about refusing to fund the RNC.
McCain, Steele, et al will not allow Palin anywhere near the republican “party” even if she offers to proved the food and entertainment.
Yeah?
Where did you hear that, when every poll had the Kenyan beating Juan McCain by wide margins?
LOL, she resigned at 56% approval, that is a pretty good number and extraordinary considering the massive national attack by the media and people like you. Letting the national media die down and doing a little campaigning would have pushed her right back to the 80s which is where her current approval ratings are from republicans. Far above the others.
You really are a sour little man aren't you, the way you haunt the Palin threads like a hyper critical old woman that can't find much material, so she just has to be nothing more than a negative whiner, using constant nagging to express her personal disapproval and hoping that some of it rubs off on others.
Are you sure you are not?
You signed up on June 24 this year, and so far, all you have done is keep posting loony left anti-Palin propaganda every chance you get. Sounds like being in league with Satan(aka George Soros) to me.
How is that working out for McCain, Steele et al in the Florida US Senate primaries then?
The candidate they did NOT back, is busy clobbering the candidate they backed. Go figure.
I kept hearing again and again how hussien wasnt going to win last time
Yeah?
Where did you hear that, when every poll had the Kenyan beating Juan McCain by wide margins?
Soon after hussein stole it from Hillary (he stole it when they bused in all those thugs from Chicago to Iowa to make noise for obama during their caucus. The theft in Iowa got his campaign grounded.).
I kept hearing that he didn’t have a chance. He wasn’t doing so well in the polls either up until the economy crashed. After that, it was over.
I believe there were a lot of outside influences during the last election cycle. The arabs played oil prices up until they got their man elected. The timing of the market crash was suspect. You have to wonder about thugs like soros and the impact he had. The media should be a very obvious suspect in every election cycle now.
Yes
