Who won what? I must have missed something.
You need to get up to date, that issue hit the newstands last year...

Come 2012, Palin must not let Romneycare, Pawlenty, Gingrich-scozzafava, and ultimately Obama get away with the "you're a quitter" mantra--especially Obama, who essentially quit his barely 2 year term in the Senate before it even started so he can run for President.
It's not about the time one serves in office, but what one accomplishes IN THAT TIME.
As governor, Palin accomplished more in two years than most governors do in 4 to 8-- and she didn't leave her state in debt or with a failed universal healthcare system like Romney did! In the 2012 primaries, she needs to have confidence that what she achieved for her state surpasses what her opponents had for theirs.
While out of office, Palin has accomplished more than the others combined. The Tea Party movement would have never taken off the way it had without her presence. Several contested primaries would have gone hopelessly awry without her crucial endorsements, and the healthcare bill would have passed a lot sooner and been worse without her "death panels" comment.
Most importantly: she's the only one brave enough to speak out on highly contentious issues (such as calling Gore out on "Climategate.") She has been the most articulate and effective in exposing and criticizing the Obama Admin for the direction they are taking this country. She was the highest profile leader to be the first to take the risk in endorsing anti-establishment, underdog candidates such as Doug Hoffman in the NY-23. Showing that above all, she is willing to challenge the GOP establishment-machine, while her fellow GOP contenders rely on it or kiss up to it, or are a part of it.
Not to mention, Palin has never "quit" on taking firm stances on the most important core issues, especially abortion, while her fellow contenders are major flip floppers. (I wonder if Romney will claim to be pro-life and if greenie Gingrich will now admit manmade global warming is untrue.)
” and I thought most gay men could walk fine in heels. Learn something new every day “
Don’t quit your day job.
” hese pathetic losers here on FR, who incessantly cry “quitter”, remind me of some of the posters who were on the Romneybot Race42008 “
Yeah, except there aren’t any Romney people posting on this thread. Just a a minor snafu...move along now.
If she manages to get that evil POS McCain re elected, that would be something. Fiorina will go down in flames when Bitch Boxer recounts Fiorina’s failures at Bell Labs, and Hewlett Packard.
Well if Saint Sarah had thrown her influence behind the REAL conservative, Chuck DeVore, the California primary might have turned out different.
As it is, Sarah essentially guaranteed Boxer’s re-election with Fiorina capturing the nomination.
agreed
Let the record show that you can neither defend Palin quitting her job, nor give a reasoned argument why anyone should vote for her.
I just did... it's that you don't want to accept it ... :-)
But... the thing about a "reasoned argument" ... you gotta be kidding ... LOL ...
I don't know about you but I've helped at a few campaigns and we haven't once -- to date -- ever had to "qualify a voter" by asking them, "Do you have a reasoned argument for voting for our candidate?" -- only to find out that they didn't -- and thus we have been forced to tell them to not vote for our guy ... LOL ...
Please ... don't help anyone with any campaigns ... okay?
By whom?
By Obama of course. He's awesome, baby!! Didn't you know??
Fool.
>Is she really the kind of person who would allow one person to drive her from office rather then to fight back against what is right?
From what I’ve heard, her legal bills from those ethics charges ran up to half a million dollars. At the time, her yearly salary was only $100,000. Her and Todd’s sals combined were about $200,000 yearly. They even had to take a second mortgage out on their house, I believe. Also, she had less and less time to be able to do her job as governor.
Actually, I belive Palin probably left because.
She was afraid that her entire family might be driven into banrupcy.
She was so busy fending off all the charges of ethics violations that she had less and less time to do her job as govenor.
Still, she strikes me as more of a king/queen maker than a queen.
Yep ol Johnny one note. You are beyond full of it. Look in the mirror

In my state McCain had no chance to win at all but I will say that even on the worse Obama day I never once thought “I wish McCain was President”, never! I will tell you something else. If the RINO party picks Romney in 2012 I will feel the same way; Republicans deserve to lose..
McCain lost because McCain is a complete phony. Didnt you notice he suddenly changed all his positions around? First tax cuts, drilling, and then the prize TARP. Heck, he even tried to say he really wasnt a real Republican but instead a reformer.
I understand that Palin was in a tough spot this year with McCain but campaigning for him is a black mark on her with conservatives that will buy her no moderates or RINOs.
You might want to take some comprehension classes. He was dissing all three, not just Palin
