Oustanding News: Palin leads in Texas, Wisconsin, Maine, W. Virginia. Ties in Minneso

[jillian]

Good for Palin. I love things like this because anything positive for her drives a lot of lefties nuts.

Was thinking this morning of the many Palin threads that'll pop up next Monday after her Alaska series premiers Sunday night. The loons will be out in force, you betcha.

Yes... you will... but you'll all be watching her show, so it should quiet down for a little while at least.

you betcha.

 

[Dreadnaught1968]

us army guy, do you go around smelling her farts or something? do you work for her? are you a lobbyist? every time i get on this message board you have some new thread trumpeting the latest dump she's taken and how good it smells. ***

Grow up.

 

[Rinata]

This is promising news for her if she wants to become President. This shows that she has a connection with America and the ideology that puts this nation back together again to save it from the nightmare of Obama and his marxist agenda. Palin has the patriotism to do this and she has the will and stamina to put America back as a dominate superpower that nations should fear. Palin will only get stronger and her appeal with American voters will increase as Obama continues to make America weaker.

Good Lord!!! You are obsessed with this woman. It's really getting creepy.

She's a ******* stupid ass *****. Who cares about her? She doesn't know shit about life. She is an angry oppressor of people with different opinions and is very immature in how she deals with her anger and negative emotions. She blames everybody for everything, and that is why she appeals to so many americans right now, because the americans who follow her are just looking for someone to blame: the liberals. It is the same dynamic that existed in Germany when Hitler garnered public opinion from demonizing the jews. The cons are doing the same against the left, by blaming them for everything to galvanize their sense of identity against the left. So, ANY political leader who follows this dialogue of hate is going to appeal to people who want to blame the left. This isn't rocket science. She is simply jumping on this bandwagon. She has absolute nothing to offer herself, except to temporarily offer relief to the masses of people who are understandably upset about the economic situation of this country, but really, she will only make things much, much, worse. Blaming the liberals for everything is SO oversimplistic, and basically a misguided blame. Making our current state of affairs partisan at all, might be our biggest downfall, because we are simply further polarizing an already shattered country that is in despair need of repair on social, political, and economic levels. I fear the day she steps into office, and if she becomes president, I am moving to Australia.

 

[Seawytch]

Well, I plan on voting for her...in the primary

Her policy record as governor shows she was a very smart woman and not stupid. When has Palin showed any negative emotions and anger? Also she knows a lot about life. She knows conservation, she hunts, fishes, camps, ran a business, operated a budget as a councilman, as mayor then governor, ran the oil and gas commission in Alaska and raises 5 kids while being successful. I doubt Obama has ever cleaned a fish or gutted a animal taken from a rifle or bow in his life. We all know he has never operated a budget prior to the election or ran a executive office. It shows now he was very inexperienced.

Public Policy Polling: Some good signs for Palin

While I like Sarah Palin and what she stands for--PALIN is NOT electable in this country. So many republicans forget that it is not just THEY that are voting. We have an enormous population of INDEPENDENTS in this country--that are really the ones who determine who wins and who loses elections. We saw them elect BO in 2008 and then vote against him in 2010.

Independents will not vote for Sarah Palin--and if she happens to be the Republican nominee--they will deliver Sarah Palin a humiliating defeat--and will insure that BO gets a second term.

Mitt Romney and several others are ELECTABLE. Palin needs to keep doing what she is doing. Driving liberals beserk. She's good at it--she supports candidates and they have been winning--but NO she is not Presidential material. Palin is happy where she is at-making a lot of money -and I don't really believe she wants to run for elected office--and I hope that she doesn't.

Romney is not electable just like last time. His Romneycare and religion will do him in again. Tell me, why do you think independents will not vote for her? Give me some specifics please.

Go to the independent blogs and answer that for yourself. She cannot be elected, because she will never get beyond the Republican base. Romney is far more electable than she is, particularly if he and Christie or Rubio can come to a deal. If that is the case, then, yeah, Romney certainly is electable.

When the hell did she turn Liberal?

What do you mean? Obama won.

 

[JamesMorrison]

i like to think that she will crash and burn the second she opens her mouth in a serious debate or has to answer a serious question, assuming she takes the drastic pay cut and runs, but then again...people are pretty ******* stupid. angle only lost by the slightest of margins. palin's rallies are like those of joseph goebells in the sportspalast of berlin circa 1943, when everyone knew the war would lead to the doom of germany and only a handpicked audience was allowed to attend.

At this point in time I can't see either a Palin POTUS or even VicePOTUS candidacy in 2012 but I do see a Palin who is educating herself to, at least, domestic issues and whose influence is definitley ascending. Given her inexperience she didn't look all that bad in the VP debate with Biden, although that performance may have been due more to a weak Biden performance than a stellar Palin one. Time will tell but she is definitely having an influence in the GOP where the debate now centers on how far to the right the GOP can move as opposed to how much it should 'compromise' with the left. This is not a bad thing for the country as a whole. Your point about Hitler rallies, I think, is well taken. In this vein you must admit Obama's rallys, even as president, are similar RE the 'friendliness' of the crowds, although Palin's crowds seem a little more energetic.

She won't win Maine or Wisconsin.

West Virginia and Texas she will win no problem. But a drunk schizophrenic monkey could win those states over a democrat as long as an (R) was next to their name.

She has as much of a chance of winning Minnesota as that monkey does.

There will never be a president Palin. She's to polarizing of a figure. Good, bad, or indifferent it won't happen.

She is a polarizing figure but, as has been pointed out, so, now, is Barry. But tback to the GOP candidate. Personally, I feel that McCain made a good choice in Palin as his running mate and that she injected a lot of energy into his campaign. In the process she also allowed the GOP to, somewhat, differentiate themselves from not the Dems so much as from G.W. Bush and his administration. In the end it didn't matter because Barry was successful in portraying McCain as Bush 2.0 and Barry had the messiah thing going on.

Things have changed in that Obama has now been recognized as promoting European Socialism while Britain, France, and Germany now seem to be following fiscal advice that could have very well come from Tea Party advocates like Palin. Further, despite the Dems denial-fest, we have seen a 2010 electorate that agrees with the austerity measures meted out by those countries...and more. Also, both Tea Partiers and Independents are reading the U.S. Constitution, Federalist papers, and, even Ayn Rand. With this self education they have decided that perhaps we should dial back the government in both spending and its influence on individual liberties. So while we may not see a Palin bid in 2012 her influence cannot be ignored. I would go so far to say that the GOP's problem is more those like McConnell and Graham than it is Palin.

Somebody mentioned Romney here (not either one of you). Romney is done. If he gets the GOP nod for president it will be an excellent indication that the GOP has not learned its lesson RE its profligate spending and growing government. How is the owner of Romneycare in MA to differentiate himself from an Obamacare candidate? Rubio looks and sounds good but personally I would prefer a governor like Christie. Governors don't have to vote on all the legislation coming down the pike and this removes some ammunition for the enemy plus they have executive experience. Christie has an added benefit of having the ability to cut through leftist argument with conservative principles and stubborn facts. He would absolutely devastate Obama in a fairly run debate...hands down. Howerver he says he wants to finish the job in NJ, we will see. Right now I like Haley Barbour Gov. of LA and he just stepped down in his leadership position in the RGA, but we'll see I guess.

[JamesMorrison]

Marco Rubio is too smart to tie himself to Palin politics.

Perhaps, but they both are quite similar in their political beliefs. Rubio's campaign stayed on message down here in FA and was positive while his adversaries went negative, Orange Charlie more so than Meek (Who is a good man, and didn't deserve being thrown under the Obama bus). Palin is outwardly confrontational Rubio is much softer when he speaks and appeals to the listener's reason without demonizing his opposition. This effectively makes him look kind and caring while letting the results of the listener's reasoning expose the fallacy in his opponents arguments. Did you hear his election night victory speech? It was excellent and foward looking.

Run Sarah Run

I think in the not too distant future, we'll all be seeing more of the hijacked GOP. Republicans aren't happy with her in general, and even those recently elected who probably won because of tea party influence want to run from PALIN, not necessarily the principles of the tea party. That's a tall order. It should be interesting to see how Marco Rubio and Scott Brown attempt to wrench themselves from her hip while remaining true to those principles.

Romney won't win the nomination either. He will be seen as an also-ran from 2008. There are emerging Republicans who are much more palpable, even to a Democrat like me. I wouldn't even be surprised to see Judd Gregg in the mix. He chose not to run for reelection this year, so he's basically free to put his experience and talent to work (hopefully not wasted on some K Street lobbying firm).

Yeah. Socialists are SOOOOOOO different from Nazis. I mean really, all they want is total government contro... oh wait. So did nazis. Well at least they didn't shove people into death camps who disagreed politica... oh wait... they did too. But they didn't disarm the citi... oh crap.

Now you can't deny that they let private owners of companies stay! that's RIGHT!... but they executed them if they didn't do what the government said... that's still different than socialism isn't it?

And surely you can't say that socialists demonize minorities like jews and gypsies and other religious gr... they did? man! why can't they look more different?

Want another can of fail to go with the egg on your face Muggsie??

Rhetoric means diddlyshit if it is functionally the same. Damn that objective realism! Why can't it just be more feel-good relativism like I want it to be??
