Sometime back, I saw (and immediately loved) an image created by fellow Freeper E Pluribus Unum. It was a picture of Sarah Palin at the Presidential podium. with the caption: "in·eluc·ta·ble adj: not to be avoided, changed, or resisted: inevitable."
This fit perfectly with my own views on the subject of who should be our next President. Yet, I had to ask myself, why do so many staunch conservatives believe that Sarah is "unelectable?" My own wife, who began her political activities as a Goldwater Girl at a time when I was still dumb enough to be an "Active Young Democrat" for LBJ, is completely convinced that, thanks to the relentless media attacks, she is "damaged goods" and will never be able to overcome the many negatives that have been piled upon her. So, I have to ask myself, how can I be so convinced that President Palin is ineluctable? Today I saw the start of "rolling thunder" and it all suddenly became clear.
Anyone who has read, seen or heard Shakespeare's Henry V (and, if you haven't, I urge you to immediately procure a copy of Kenneth Branagh's magnificent film of the same) might remember the Prologue to Act IV, where King Henry goes through his camp, visiting each member of his army on the eve of battle. Weary, weakened by hunger & disease, they were facing a battle with an army, "all fresh," that outnumbered them more than five to one. The King goes from campfire to campfire, so "that mean and gentle all behold, as may unworthiness define, a little touch of Harry in the night." The next day, his exhausted army won one of the greatest victories in history, leaving the field strewn with several thousand of the cream of French nobility, while losing less than 30 of their own.
Now most historians give credit for the victory to the awesome power of the English longbow and its yard-long "grey goose shaft," capable of piercing plate armor. While that certainly was a factor, you have to ask yourself, why did they even stand and fight? I believe it was that "touch of Harry in the night" that gave that exhausted band the passion to stand and never yield.
Which brings me to the answer for why I see President Palin as "ineluctable" - what you see at "Rolling Thunder" is the effect that a "Touch of Sarah" has. As the campaign progresses, more and more, believers and doubters both, will experience it - and that "Touch of Sarah" will bring forth such a force that even the most relentless media attacks will be powerless to stop it.
In November 2012, we will take our country back!
Why was Heuinsane Obama electable.
From your lips to the American electorates ears....bring it on!
I do believe you are right. They’ve thrown everything they can at Sarah and she keeps comin’ back. Most of the weenies at the top of the GOP would have run away crying by now, but not Sarah.
Exactly, she’s unelectable just as Al Gore was smarter than George Bush.
The only reason being, liberals say it.
Bush was smarter. Better grades, more succesful and better personal life.
Good analogy. History has it’s great moments and Sarah Palin’s election as US President will be one of them.
“If it’s war they want let it begin here, let it begin now.”
Palin/Bachmann-2012
AHHHH! Ohhhhh! You admit to that?? I knew what slime LBJ was before I was in high school. Never voted for a Dem for national office and seldom for one in a local office, in my entire life.
She is tenacious.

AMEN! Lord, please let it be so.
Just to be clear, what all these politicians have had “thrown at them” does not equal one quiet day of a soldier’s life in Iraq or Afghanistan. They are all lucky.
However Sarah is a fine person, and my tagline explains my support.
If the election were held today, she probably would not win, however, she will very quickly overcome whatever negatives the slimestream media have wrongly attached to her in the coming weeks and months. She will then create an unstoppable freight train of enthusiam that will sweep her to a very convincing victory, maybe even a landslide, over the commie in chief.
She is unquestionably ineluctable. Its over for the commies.

Insightful how Palin’s name-brand was dragged through the mud in 2008:

History is full of victorious people who suffered major defeats and were thought to be losers (by everyone except themselves). The belief in oneself is the key and Palin believes in herself and has principles (a belief in God). “Never give up” used to be a common phrase in Western Civ and thought to be a virtue.
Top 7 reasons why:
1)McCain was a lousy candidate
2)McCain was a lousy candidate
3)McCain was a lousy candidate
4)McCain was a lousy candidate
5)Media propaganda machine did not vet and shilled Obama
6)Economy crashed
7)McCain was a lousy candidate
I forgive you. Sorry.
