I wouldn’t rule it out either. It is a long way between now and Nov. 2012. It might be that any Republican could beat Obama. Obama might have a Dem. challenger. Anything can happen. The economy, the war in Afghanistan, other unknown events etc. etc. may change the equation one way or the other. One thing for sure is if Palin is the Rep. nominee, the media will go nuts trying to defeat her.

I wouldn’t rule out Hillary beating Obama and then Palin beating Hillary. That would be a glorious year.

Note: I am NOT a Hillary fan, but at least she doesn’t hate America. She would be proud to have a strong America as long as she held absolute power over the most minute details of our lives. Obama in contrast hates America, despises Americans, and loathes success, which makes him one of the few politicians even lower than Hillary.

Back when Obama was running against Hillary, I was rooting for her as I knew what a dangerous guy Obama was.

I saw that interview and the intro by Biden.

It used to be that the Democrats would all line up to make fun of Palin.

After November 2, the only Democrats who make fun of her are ex- 'Air America' buffoons like Ron Reagan, Jeanne Garofalo and Ed Shultz.

Palin is like the person who got picked on in the school yard until she kicked some butt after which the rest of the kids backed off in fear and respect.

DeMint is essentially flawless by my standards except that he says quite clearly that he doesn’t plan to run.

Interesting clip, the Biden soundbite is just hilarious.

Kirsten Powers has the characteristics of a conservative if she would just use it...she already is the exception to the “Janeane Garofolo Rule” when it comes to physical attributes of Liberals. I saw her on Hannity last night and he had her with the “deer in the headlights” look again...

Lib commentators have to start to see there’s no future (i.e. money) in supporting dumb lib policies. Dich Morris, Pat Caddell and Doug Schoen have already jumped that shark...

"I Wouldn't Rule Out Palin Beating Obama"......physically, with a stick, in the middle of the street, to cheering throngs.

I like John Thune from SD. It is a small state but South Dakota has low taxes and they are doing some of the right things statewide. This could reflect on Thune who is younger than the other Contenders.

If not 2012 at least 2016

You have a point. However Kirsten Powers has a liberal outlook. She was against the Irag war and reluctant on Afganistan.

Kirsten Powers is also for the recently passed national heath care bill and wants to include a public option. It will be difficult/impossible to make her a adopt a conservative outlook, even though she is not repugnant to look at like Bahar and Garofalo.

I remember the first time I saw Kirsten. On FNC, spouting the
Dem talking points to the letter.

I figured she was the Dem attempt to counter at least the looks of
Coulter and Ingraham.

While certainly smarter than most Dems in the media, I doubt that
she could do little better than Obama straying off the daily
DNC fax.

As such, on this comment of Kirsten, I think she's pulling a rope-a-dope.

Nothing against Palin, but I don't think she could make it against the
dwindling, but overt pro-Obama LSM, and the white-shoe shod
RNC.

And Palin would have to deal with the wannabee Huckabees, and
the overall general mischief making in the primaries.

There's just too much stacked against her, and virtually nothing
against BHO, including his record.

Heck, even the RNC wouldn't hold BHO's record, or lack thereof,
against him...

You may be right. I suspect that, while Kirsten is politically liberal, she might be an orgasmic Republican.

A great Joe Bidenism moment in that video.

I wouldn’t rule out Kirsten becoming a Conservative in about 10 years.

It happened to me after the sophomorism wore off.

Yep; but they are both dangerous. Have the same goals and work for the same people who want to destroy America.

"She’ll be banned by NPR now."

She actually stood up for NPR and wants to keep public funding. Or maybe she did that so that she won't be banned?
