Is Sarah Palin a has-been? or never was?

Is Sarah Palin a has-been? - The Week

Last week, NBC and The Wall Street Journal released a poll that showed just how far Sarah Palin has fallen out of favor with the American public. Only 25 percent of respondents had a favorable opinion of the former Alaska governor, while a whopping 53 percent viewed her unfavorably. In a hypothetical race for the 2012 GOP nomination, Palin places fifth and her approval rating is down 18 points since last September when many conservative candidates sought her election endorsement. In January, her popularity, already slipping, dropped precipitously after her infamous "blood libel" speech, in which she savaged the media for connecting her incendiary rhetoric to the Gabrielle Giffords shooting

shes a more than you ever have been or ever will be.

If Michelle Bachmann is in the race, what chance does Palin have if they both have to chase the same voters?

 

[California Girl]

c. A useful idiot.

 

[Dr.Drock]

I'd say politically a has been, but she'll be socially relevant for a long time.

Can't say a never was, she was a governor and a legit vice prez candidate.

shes a more than you ever have been or ever will be.

You mean a quitter?

 

[B. Kidd]

I blame insightful USMB posters for Palin's approval rating decline.

 

[Leweman]

Neither of those two have any place running for President. Just like Obama didnt. The thought of this country electing such politically incompetent dopes like Palin or Bachmann is sickening.

You leftists need new material...

What ever happened to Sarah Palin? - War Room - Salon.com

the GOP establishment was well aware of her general election liabilities -- just as they'd been aware of the Sharron Angle's and Christine O'Donnell's and Ken Buck's liabilities. But their frantic efforts to convince Republican primary voters to reject those Senate candidates last year and instead to embrace safer, more electable alternatives backfired horrifically. GOP primary voters wanted purity, not pragmatism, even if it meant leaving Senate seats on the table. It wasn't a stretch to suggest they'd be in the same mood in '12 -- seeing through Mitt Romney's (or Tim Pawlenty's or Haley Barbour's&#8230 efforts to gain Tea Party credibility and instead opting for the real deal, Palin.


conservatives -- the folks who had been making excuses for Palin -- woke up, probably because they grasped for the first time how serious her '12 prospects had become. As we've been tracking, commentators with deep credibility on the right began speaking up in the weeks and months after the November election, either casting doubt on her leadership skills or electability or making the case -- as Andrew Breitbart did -- that she's just too big for the presidency.

Conservative voters, it seems, began to get the message: It was OK to like Palin and to believe she was a victim of the left and its allies and to still conclude that she wasn't presidential material.

Y'all might want to consider a certain other candidate who quit his job as Senator, after having gone on the record as saying 'I will not run in 2008', and giving his reasons as a 'lack of experience' and a commitment to serve the people of that state.... it was Illinois.

You elected a quitter if you voted for Obama. And you elected one who, just months before, claimed he wasn't experienced enough to be President. What does that say about liberals? You fucked up the country. You honestly think anyone takes you seriously any more?

Moving from Senator to President is called a promotion

Promotions are like that. You may like your previous position and want to complete unfinished business......but when an opportunity for promotion arises you have to go for it

Wow, it had been almost 5 minutes since the last "Hate Palin" thread.

 

[signelect]

She is a great speaker and like all politicians she found a way to make more money that doing what she was elected for so she took it. We elect congress to manage the country and when they find a way to make more money they take it unfortunately, unlike Palin. they stay in office.

does that make any sense, it does to me.

Only the most rabid Far RW reactionaries ever thought that washup up has-been ever was something to begin with.

That must be why you leftists obsess about her....

Is there a reason Sarah Palins political future can't be discussed?

Which right wing potential candidate would you like us to discuss?
