You bet they are. Remember, to a politician, air time is like oxygen; bad PR is far better than none. If the mediots didn't want us to fall for her, she wouldn't get a minute of it. This way, they can build her negatives (especially among jealous women), while simultaneously getting all the love-struck conservatives adamant in charging to her defense.
It's a twofer.
For the record, I do not have a preference for a conservative nominee. As far as I'm concerned, they're all sub-par for various reasons. Palin is clearly honest, courageous, and capable of standing up to pressure; all of that counts for a lot. After her marvelous convention speech I was hopeful that she could step up to the job. Unfortunately, IMO she blew it through over-exposure while simultaneously failing to cure her obviously deficient preparation. Nor am I convinced from her record as governor of Alaska or mayor of Wasilla that she is truly that prudent an administrator. I see support for her as a lost cause because of her unwillingness to do the work necessary to cure her negatives, some of which are her own fault. It is a not uncommon weakness of beautiful and successful women that they believe there is "nothing to fix" and I believe there is some of that in her case. To quote Andy Grove, "Only the paranoid survive."
“This way, they can build her negatives (especially among jealous women),”
Sure worked with you.
No preferences picked yet hey? Then you go over to the dark side with the usual ad nauseam anybody but Palin PDS talking points. Give it a rest, getting old, so very, very, old, and tiresome.
SO they accused her of complicit to murder and go after her & FAMILY negatively for over two years in a way like no one since Reagan before becoming President and now after all of that they (MSM) will present her ragged to the public and say, she can be the one by pumping her up?
That’s nuts and makes no sense!
She is prepared, we have article and speeches on her tackling every issue out there, she has presented her on policy on military engagement that no one else has done, She actually cut the government in Alaska, she got a surplus and she reduced earmarks that came across her desk by 90% if I recalled correctly. Just saying that she isn’t ready doesn’t make it so
Later you specifically include Sarah:
I see support for her as a lost cause because of her unwillingness to do the work necessary to cure her negatives, ...
So you do not support any of the current and potential GOP field (including Rick Perry/Chris Christie in the mix)? Then who would you have run for whom you could express a preference?
” For the record, I do not have a preference for a conservative nominee. As far as I’m concerned, they’re all sub-par for various reasons “
She is inextricably tied to McCain, and is for “registration amnesty”
No sale!
