It turns out Sarah Palin left the governorship of Alaska for a better position. She's become king — King Midas, to be exact. Everything she touches turns to gold.
Her memoir, "Going Rogue," was the best-selling hardcover nonfiction volume of 2009. She's got a TV gig with Fox News that reportedly pays $1 million a year. She commands $100,000 for a speaking appearance.
But it's not all about the money. Palin has also become the fairy godmother of the Republican Party. In the Aug. 31 primaries, all five candidates she tapped with her wand came away victorious — including Joe Miller, who upset incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. Those she passed over turned into pumpkins.
"Sarah Palin has special medicine," wrote John Dickerson of the liberal online magazine Slate after the primaries. "The Palin brand now grows ever stronger because other Republicans will want to access that magic."
All that looks like the perfect prelude to something even bigger. After steadfastly refusing invitations for political gatherings in Iowa, site of the first presidential contest in 2012, she's going to Des Moines on Sept. 17 for the Republican Party's annual Reagan Day dinner. To run for president, one local GOP official was quoted saying, "She needs to be here — and she's doing that with a big, high-profile event."
If she enters the race, Palin will have the inside track. A recent Gallup poll found that among Republican voters, she's more popular than Abraham Lincoln, with a 76 percent favorable rating — higher than any other potential GOP presidential candidate listed by Gallup. The nomination is starting to look like it's hers for the asking.
But appearances are deceiving.(continued)

Do you think that’s a blog/site of his?
Apparently, he has a site or frequents a site where he laughs about FReepers.
That would make him an anti-FReeper.
I had no idea he was still around. Infamous troll and hater.
Don’t know.
Perhaps he’ll say.
If all of a sudden someone named “little jeremiah” started posting leftist claptrap on leftist websites, no one would think it was really me.
When - ahem - “other” names that are also on FR have been found spouting liberal claptrap elsewhere, sometimes verbatim what that name posted on FR, then it does give one pause...
heheh
Leftists may dominate the upper echelons of institutions, but many of these institutions are hollow shells with numbers of rebellious underlings. The institutions of government are particularly vulnerable, since we still get to vote, and even though leftists excel in voter fraud, they can’t overcome large wins. They may run the media (regular MSM style), but fewer and fewer people believe the not-even-subtle propaganda - and even some of the MSM are become disillusioned with 0thugga and all that he typifies. More and more people get their news and views elswhere - like on FR!
More and more young people are becoming pro-life, for one thing, and for another, whenever same sex marriage is put to the people, they turn it down, over and over again.
I say an all-conservative ticket it grounded in reality, and will give the regular people a reason to get enthused, get to the voting booth and be energized as you haven’t seen them energized before.
Oh he’s quite the hero over at Politijab. In fact, they consider him an excellent troll on FR. They love him. Just go there and search for his name.
How can anyone be a conservative if they hate Palin, both Bush’s, Beck, Fox news, anyone that is in the Army, loves Jon Stewart. Keep in mind he lives in Kansas City and that is a liberal hotbed. He also despises anyone in the South and anything in the South. He hates Baptists, has made many derogatory comments about the South and especially Texas, referring to inbreeding etc. Now does this sound familiar? Does this sound like a typical FR conservative? I think not.
He can’t deny any of this because he knows his past posts verify it and he knows if he denies it they will be posted.
Oh I know. Don’t forget Baptists, the Army, and he especially hates Texas.
Bingo!
I never said I personally outed you. Several found you there and passed the link around via FReepmail. I posted the links on FR as did others. Face the facts, you are considered a troll and you are fooling no one.
Not mine. I don’t have a blog.
Statement of fact. If suddenly liberal posts under the name of 'onyx' appeared on DU would that mean that you and only you had to have posted them? Screen names are not copyrighted. Anyone can use them.
If you say so.
You so hang out on some...interesting websites for someone who claims to be a conservative.
I’ll read all of this later today.
I see the liberal troll is still on here.
Have a good day and thanks for the conversation.
We will see - and thanks for the conversation and I hope I wasn’t too - loud...
I just have such horrible memories of the Repubs putting up McCain, Bob Dole, the first Bush and so on. The second Bush turned out not very good either. The list of moderate Repubs (ie RINOs) is stomach turning and so many of them lost anyway. Who wants milk-and-water? Pabulum? If someone wants a liberal, they’ll vote for the Dem anyway.
Good to pull out the history.
An elephant never forgets!
