Ref posts 48 & 104: landslide

There is a world outside of message boards and talk radio. It's called the real world. It includes not only conservatives but also swing voters and people on the Left.

In 1980, Reagan carried the swing voters and probably a few hardcore Democrats who had never voted for a Republican.

Palin cannot do this. She is not the successor to Reagan no matter how much you wish her to be.

Oh, that's just silly. Wish or not wish, we'll see. In any case, it's not my wish, rather, it is my prediction. And be sure to understand, it is all predicated on whether she will run or not. I can't predict that.

I'm not a psychic, but I am a wagering man....

Still raining on my parade ?? LOL

These arguments (both sides) on this thread are rapidly becoming OBE. Sign #2 of MY long standing prediction just went up:

#1 : Palin was not suspended by FNC with the other two
Now #2 : Bachmann announced an exploratory for 2012, remember her condition for this?

I gotta feeling some “I-told-you-so”s are coming.

“Palin cannot do this.”

Sorry, but my judgment is better than yours, and I say she can.

About all we can do at this point is watch nature take it’s course. People have already gone ‘all in’ on her. I disagree. To me it’s clear what the outcome will be. That being said, about the only good that will do me is realizing I was right in the spring of 2013.

This bickering is pointless. Nobody’s mind is being changed at this point.

This isn’t meant as a snide reference to your comments. It’s just my take on the overall 2012 situation with regard to how people see her chances.

At this point you either think she can walk on water, or you turn the channel when you hear that screechy voice for the ten billionth time in the last few years.

Just saw Romney ramping up for 2012. God what a bombastic line-up we have developing this year. In a word, so far it’s “demoralizing”.
