do you deny there are left leaning posters in here who firmly believe Palin will be the 2012 GOP nominee?
I was just reading a few articles about Palin... It seems she is arguing with Fox News, Roger Ailes, and Bill O'Reilly.
Analysis: Sarah's static with Fox - Andy Barr - POLITICO.com
Weekly Standard says, she is becoming Al Sharpton.
Palin: "Cocked-Fist Self-Pity And Whining" - The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan
What do you think, does she have a chance to be president or to have a political career?
Minority...this removes or at least reduces the "historic" notion of the campaign. Strategically speaking, it reasonable to suggest people who are previously not interested in voting might do so if they feel it will be a "historic" event or a part of "history". By allowing your ticke to fall in that same fashion you reduce the appeal of this.
Back in the 70s there was another politican that the supposed "intellecutuals" from both parties denounced as an "embrassesment", I believe his name was Ronald Reagan. Just like Reagan, Mrs. Palin has the gift to speak to the common person and talk on their level with no condescension and his popularity caused much the same grinding and gnashing of teeth from ALL THE SMART PEOPLE.
Ok then... go vote for Palin... she isn't going to get elected no matter what.
Wow...Walter is engaging in a serious logical fallacy here.
1) Reagan was someone who intellectuals derided. Reagan was successful.
2) Palin is also someone who intellectuals derided. Therefore Palin will be just like Reagan!
Anyone else see the problem here?
she doesn't have to bother. all she has to do is exist and they will go after her. even if she is never a candidate ever again, they will still keep attacking her and bringing her up.
that the only reason anybody liked Obama was just because of his race. The only reason "the black vote" voted for Obama, was race... the only reason he beat Hillary was because of race.
considering how many lefties on the board desperatly want her to win the GOP nomination in 2012 (and completely believe she will), the current poll results must be in error.

Did intellectuals deride GWB?
He was no Reagan... not even by GOP standards... :lamo
I just think that the gop pandering to that base is hurting the gop in the long run... but that's my opinion. The Tea Party built their success in part by saying it wasn't about the religious base, but lowering the debt... People tend to care more about issues that affect them, than OMG that woman is in her 40s and has 5 kids because she so profile and loves Jesus.
Not certain. In the short term, I believe it would not happen again. But in the midterm, say, in several years, it is possible. Then again, I think she has found her sweet spot. Being a GOP cheerleader, political insider has its benefits that political office in of itself would not have, and not just in terms of salary.
Failing upwards, it's the new American dream.
Even the far-righties on DP that used to support her a few months ago have now turned their back on her.
You know why?
Because Fox news is saying it's okay to do so... Notice how none of her usual apologists on Fox have come to her aide. She must have really pissed a lot of people off over there.
Well, you're more mocking than I would be. I think if she actually concentrates, she can become the next Newt.
Right now, I agree, she feels like a consultant from Entertainment Tonight rather than someone in the Heritage Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute, or Cato.
She thinks Africa is a country.
It was among the juicier post-election recriminations: Fox News Channel quoted an unnamed McCain campaign figure as saying that Sarah Palin did not know that Africa was a continent.
Who would say such a thing? On Monday the answer popped up on a blog and popped out of the mouth of David Shuster, an MSNBC anchor. “Turns out it was Martin Eisenstadt, a McCain policy adviser, who has come forward today to identify himself as the source of the leaks,” Mr. Shuster said.
Trouble is, Martin Eisenstadt doesn’t exist. His blog does, but it’s a put-on. The think tank where he is a senior fellow — the Harding Institute for Freedom and Democracy — is just a Web site. The TV clips of him on YouTube are fakes.
And the claim of credit for the Africa anecdote is just the latest ruse by Eisenstadt, who turns out to be a very elaborate hoax that has been going on for months. MSNBC, which quickly corrected the mistake, has plenty of company in being taken in by an Eisenstadt hoax, including The New Republic and The Los Angeles Times.
Further proof you believe anythign anyone on the left tells you to, without checking the facts. You're credibility here lowers with each post you make.
The Africa thing was a hoax...you were fooled (a fairly simple task it seems).

Of course, I don't expect you to admit it was a hoax, even with the proof right in front of you. You'll go on and on and on... believing whatever the left tells you, without checking for yourself..... just like they want you to.
:lamo:lamo:lamoNewt has a brain. He misuses it, but he has one.
She thinks Africa is a country.
If Palin were to join a think tank, she would be in charge of figuring out if Mamma Grizzlies crap in the woods.
Palin will continue it inspire the dogmatic far right and the progressive left until the right gives up on her.
