She was paid to comment on it, and chose to vocalize what he said in a way she would have. He didnt need her to clarify his words, and he had no control over what she was going to say.
Perry must be doing well, because we have no reached the point where every Perry thread gets overrun by Palin supporters who post all sorts of unrelated items that we’ve seen dozens of times before.
There was a time when Palin supporters were convinced that she was running for sure, and that when she entered the race, all the other candidates would be toast.
Now that at least are acting like they think Palin needs their help to tear down a candidate Palin is friends with, has said good things about, and as recently as yesterday was defending against attacks much like they are making.
Or worse, they are acting like if they can’t destroy Perry and get his poll numbers down, Palin might see his strong showing and decide she doesn’t need to get in the race.
Of course, it could just be that they know how unfair Palin was treated, and feel it is their personal responsibility and mission to make sure every other candidate is treated equally unfairly.
We do listen to her, like when she said: "I detest crony capitalism."
That’s true, but that doesn’t mean she has been talking about it longer than he has been talking about it.
Perry did write a book about it. Of course, Palin also wrote two books.
He would have been a hell of a lot better than what we have now. We wouldn’t be dealing with Eric Holder’s people, the Union Goons taking hostages and threatening violence, Lisa Jackson’s EPA, bowing down and kissing our enemies ass, especially the Saudi King. Let’s not forget all of the commie fruitcake czars who believe in devolving the US.
In hindsight, he would have been better than McCain. I don’t think Giuliani would have been stupid enough to tell everyone we had no fear of 0bama if he won. Boy was McCain wrong there.
Actually, the real question is why they are spending so much time and effort attacking Perry if they know she’ll be getting into the race and they don’t have to think about him getting the nomination.
That WAS stupid on McC's part.....among his other stupidities.
So in SOME ways RG would have been better---but there would have been other problems.
My favorite Foghorn wisdom: "There's somethin' kinda eeeeyghhh about a boy who don't play baseball."
Um hmm.
Oh I see. It’s the context, again.
I didn’t like either of them, but when Thompson dropped out, and we had McCain, Huckabee, Romney, and Giuliani, Rush Limbaugh made the case that Giuliani was a better choice for President than McCain.
Fortunately, we don’t have that problem this time around, because we have at least 4 announced candidates who are all more conservative than the final four of the 2008 contest.
Yeah, and real constructive question, too. /s
If you want to defeat Obama, it sure is a constructive question. You betcha!
Who knew?! {^)
Wait for it...
Thompson and Guliani.
September 2007 Republican Candidate Poll:
Over the past four months, Rasmussen Reports polling has consistently shown Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani holding the top two slots in the race for the Republican Presidential Nomination. During that time, the weekly poll results have shown Thompson’s support ranging from a low of 20% to a high of 28%. Giuliani’s range has been similar, from 19% to 27%. Although Thompson and Giuliani are the frontrunners, both men still have plenty of detractors who say they can’t possibly win the nomination.
For the week ending September 23, it’s Thompson 26% and Giuliani 22%.
Occupying a precarious niche somewhere between the frontrunners and the also-rans are John McCain and Mitt Romney. Both men were early favorites of Washington pundits but haven’t done as well among Republican primary voters. During the past four months, McCain’s support has ranged from 11% to 14%. Romney’s range has been from 11% to 15%.
Romney needs to win in Iowa and win big in New Hampshire if he is to remain a viable top-tier candidate. In both states, he began advertising early, spent more money than any other candidate, and set high expectations. However, his lead is down to just three points in the latest Rasmussen Reports poll of New Hampshire primary voters. In addition to doing well in Iowa and New Hampshire, Romney has to hope that those states have as much impact as they did in the pre-internet era. Interestingly, Romney now has essentially the same tactical strategy that Barack Obama is counting on in the Democratic nominating competition.
McCain has an even tougher road ahead of him. It is hard to see him getting the nomination barring significant mistakes by Giuliani, Thompson, and Romney.
Still, as we noted last week, the race for the Republican Presidential Nomination remains very fluid. Thompson is still seen by Republican voters as the most conservative candidate in the field while Giuliani is seen as the most electable.
Rasmussen Reports conducts national telephone surveys on the Presidential race every night and releases updated data from our Presidential Tracking Poll by noon each day, Monday through Friday.
Those results are based upon a four-day rolling average and provide a quick update on the race.
In addition to the daily tracking poll, Rasmussen Reports provides weekly results to provide a longer-term overview of the race. These updates are based upon nightly telephone surveys. Results are reported based upon interviews conducted on the seven days up to and including the night before posting.
For the seven days ending September 23, 2007 show that Fred Thompson earns 26% of the vote while Rudy Giuliani attracts 22%. They are followed by John McCain at 14%, Mitt Romney at 12%, Mike Huckabee at 6%, and four other candidates who split 4% of the vote while 17% are undecided. Those other four candidates, mentioned by name in the polling question, are Sam Brownback, Ron Paul, Duncan Hunter, and Tom Tancredo (review history of weekly results).
The seven day results typically include interviews with more than 1,000 Likely Republican Primary Voters. This includes both Republicans and those independents likely to vote in a Republicans Primary. In some state primaries, independent voters are allowed to participate in party primaries while in others they are excluded. The margin of sampling error for the weekly update is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.
Updates prior to July 16 were based upon four days of polling conducted the Monday through Thursday preceding release.
Rasmussen Reports continuously updates general election match-ups and other key stats for all Republican and Democratic Presidential candidates.
Glad you agree
As a Sarah Palin supporter you should know about context, I know that she knows all too well.
So I guess that means, yes, I will torpedo him. Because I will NOT vote for Perry.
And we’ll see how many will stab her in the back. The list is already pretty long.
