These 43 People Have Some Explaining to Do If/When Governor Palin Runs

I’m sure the list is even longer in reality but these 43 people have some explaining to do if/when Governor Palin runs for the presidency. I have a feeling that these 43 people will just move on to a back-up explanation if/when they are proven wrong.

What’s worse is that many of these 43 people are “objective political analysts,” rather than just bloggers like you and me. I get the sense that many of the “objective political analysts” on this list will face no punishment if/when their assessment on Governor Palin is proven wrong and they will continue to opine on Palin if/when she is in the race.

==================================

43 Beltway Insiders/Pundits: "Palin Won't Run" Career Ending, Egg On Face Statements?

These 43 assorted Beltway insiders, pundits, columnists, talk show hosts, political television show hosts, religious leaders,"progressive" and other bloggers all agree on one subject (or variations thereof) "Sarah Palin won't run for president in 2012."

Some said she shouldn't run "for the good of the GOP" or their preferred alternative candidate. Some allowed for her running "but she has no chance of getting the nomination". And for the tiny minority of these prognosticators who think she actually has a chance of getting the nomination "Reagan Palin has absolutely no chance of defeating President Carter Obama"

In their "objectivity" they have variously described her as running a clown show, a reality TV show, an ego parade, a personal rehabilitation exercise, a narcissistic agenda, a revenge against the media program and other, varied, descriptions of Palin and her motives. These opinions pontificated from their elitist seats at the table of the oracle's temple.

I haven't included the mad "Trig truther" bloggers of course-not crediting them as seers (much less as human beings).The following pundits, linked to their statements so they can't run and hide/deny them, may,shortly, all have egg on their collective faces, damaged, hopefully irreversibly so, reputations, and will have been given a lesson by the master of the new Realpolitik. N.B. If I have left anyone of significance off the list the name/blog and link would be appreciated in the comments section.

43 Idiots and RINOs.

[arderkrag]

Plus the hoards of “HUR HUR HUR SHE WONKT RUN CUZ SHE KAINT WIN” types here on FR.

[gatorhead]

I didn’t see that jackass Neil Boortz’s name on the list.

[plain talk]

Now if Palin doesn’t run (a good bet) ... I am sure Ian will post an article admitting he was a shmuck. Yeah, right.

[Keith in Iowa]

>>>I didn’t see that jackass Neil Boortz’s name on the list.

Associating jackasses with Boortz is an insult to jackasses. :)

[Happy Rain]

Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh like Sarah Palin and say she would stomp Obama. In fact Rush tells those who say Sarah can't win,”So you want four more years of Obama then.”
These two alone have more political insight,intellectual gravitas and real conservative street cred than all of the above combined—in spades!

I am a BIG fan of Rush and Mark. I also agree and think that both RUSH and MARK are secretly 100% behind Palin. At least reading between the lines.

Boortz does not like her either.

[rintense]

Michael Reagan isn’t a fan (anymore).

[Norm Lenhart]

I mentioned on another thread that FR should have a letter of apology posted by either the PDSers or the Palin supporters. I’ll gladly eat crow if I’m wrong.

How about it Palin naysayers? Willing to pony up your rep on this issue?

[curth]

I don’t know how anyone can watch and listen to this speech, one of all time favorites, and still think this woman isn’t already running for President.

Franklin Graham isn’t a pundit.

He’s a Christian minister that gave his honest opinion.

[TheConservativeParty]

I was lucky to be listening to Rush one day this winter when he said Sarah Palin would “mop the floor” with Obama in a presidential debate. Of course Rush is always right.

: )

[Happy Rain]

Niether are officially “endorsing” Sarah (so far Rush has only endorsed Elmer Fudd to beat Obama because he says ANYONE can Obama sucks so bad) but the respect and affection is obvious.
Rush's “So you want four more years of Obama then.” means that if we say a true conservative like Sarah Palin can't run as a conservative and beat a miserable bum like Obama than WE WILL get four more years of the maladroit Marxist.

[Happy Rain]

Boortz is pro abortion.

[rob777]

This article is senseless. Those pundits who predict that Sarah will not run will have no more egg on their face if she does run than those pundits who predict that she will run will have if she does not run. In either case it would be a simple matter of getting a prediction wrong. Such an occasion is hardly ruinous for a pundit’s career. The bigger problem is getting a large proportion of their predictions wring.
