Kristol: Palin probably won't, shouldn't be nominee

Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol was among Sarah Palin's earliest Washington admirers, and helped bring her to the national stage, but he said this week that while he still admires her, he questions her choices and doesn't think she should be the Republican nominee for president.

[Grunthor]

I am to the point where I will support with sweat and money the most conservative candidate in the primary and whoever is the winner will have my vote over Obama.

He cannot be allowed a second term.

[GeronL]

The old RINO hacks should just be ignored

[EveningStar]

Kristol is correct, of course.

[bigbob]

I’ve decided that whenever I want to know what Bill Kristol has to say I will simply pull another few squares off the roll...

[Jane Long]

That’s because Bill *hearts* McRomneycare most.

[EveningStar]

Do you seriously think she can win?

[GoCards]

Well the debates over. Bill Kristol tell us so.

[Keith in Iowa]

Dear Bill Kristol:

Kiss my hairy arse.

I’m sick and (expletives deleted) tired of elitists like you thinking they get to call the shots. STFU, squirt up a rope, sod off, and take a long walk off a short dock. And take Karl Rove with you.

Insincerely yours,

Me.

“Kristol: Palin probably won’t, shouldn’t be nominee”

Self: Kristol probably won’t, shouldn’t be conservative spokesman.

There, fixed it!

[mlocher]

Mega dittos.

[refermech]

I’ll support her if she is the candidate but I hope she isn’t. I think she is star struck at this point. It’s all gone to her head and it shows. I want someone a little more grounded. Quitting the governorship didn’t help at all.

[aphid]

Kristol stands with Rove, Krauthammer, et al — give Obama another term and run Jeb in 2016.

[no-to-illegals]

I want to be mean, but will only type Kristol, SHUT UP. Kristol .... Kristol ... I will be quiet now and observe Ronald Reagan's commandment.

1) Politico is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Washington Post.
2) Kristol is a long time RINO.

[glorgau]

he questions her choices

i.e. she hasn't sucked up to the DC "elites".

[napscoordinator]

Does anyone have any idea when she is going to announce. I think everyone is just excited about her beginning her campaign. She will be a great President and once she announces and becomes the Republican candidate everyone will rally around. They pretty much did for McCain. He lost that election himself and not the party hacks.

[rhombus]

If she: 1)enters the primary and 2) wins the nomination, then I’ll vote for her. Until then...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Cringing Negativism Network]

RINO barf.

[Dead Corpse]

Didn't Kristol support McCain over Bush in 2000?

Yeah... His judgment is suspect.
