After Tuesday’s showing of a weak candidate (O’Donnell) and a stronger candidate (Angle), can we please pick someone other than Palin in 2012? It wasn’t their principles that lost - as pure conservatives won elsewhere (Toomey), but the candidates themselves who lost.

Man, that is a weak position/argument you have there.

What is it about you PDS sufferers that you think you have to open your mouth and find any nit-picking thing to try and slam her?

The vast majority of the people she endorsed got elected and if it wasn't for her energy and fearlesness and tireless campaigning for good Tea-Party back candidates, we would be looking at a lot less of a victory margin today.

Get over your dislike for her and quit trying to spin what is positive to a negative because it is her.

Oh silly me. I have a divergent opinion on the electability of Sarah Palin in the general election.

I guess that means I'm not conservative, right?

Yes, she picked conservative candidates well and helped most of them through a primary victory and through the general election. Can she stay in that position of kingmaker? Karl Rove did a good job of picking winners and losers as well, but I bet you wouldn't want him as your candidate.

I'd love to have a rational conversation about the electability of Sarah Palin here, but it's impossible - people take it as though I am attacking Jesus himself. There is PDS (of which I don't have, because she was very effective this last election with what she did), and there is PCDS, Palin Criticism Derangement Syndrome.
