Palin can 'snap her fingers' for money, run and beat Obama, warns GOP expert
examiner ^ | June 8th, 2011 | Devonia Smith

Posted on 06/08/2011 2:21:14 PM PDT by GonzoII

How easy would it be for Sarah Palin to raise enough money to run and beat Obama? A GOP expert today claims all Palin would have to do is, "Snap her fingers," with a warning that Democrats should be careful what they wish for. Thus, on Fox News today, the fight was on when Ben Chao, a Democrat who boasted that his "firm beats Republicans for a living," tried first to make light of Democrat losses in the 2010 election and finally quipped, "I dream about Sarah Palin," as an opponent to President Obama in 2012.

In a quick warning to all Democrats who bluff that Palin would be an easy win for Obama but Romney would make for a tough match, Dee Dee Benkie, expert GOP strategist, narrowed her eyes and cautioned, "Be careful what you wish for. It's funny how the Democrats keep beating up on Sarah Palin. I just think that's curious."

...snip

"Snap her finger, she will raise a ton of money," responded Benkie with smug confidence, adding, "if she gets in - and I think she's in."

When Benkie was asked if Sarah Palin was "ready" to be president, Benkie didn't hesitate, "Yes, of course. And I think she would beat Obama."

When Benkie fielded the inevitable subject of how polarizing Sarah Palin is ,of polls showing independents would never vote for Palin ,she quickly dismissed that subject with, "Who cares about those people? That's fine. Those people are not going to vote for her. The key is, it is a challenge for the independents, but she will motivate the base, will over-produce with the base, so you cannot count out Sarah Palin."

Tell us about meeting her. I think she is the anti-politician and she can convince people to vote for her. That’s what the bus trip and movie are about. It occurred to me today it isn’t really just people seeing the movie, it is educating and getting the chattering class, TV and radio to talk about her record. I am saving money to send her the day she announces.

That’s correct Peter...
We fall for this EVERY TIME.

The media chooses a strawman candidate for us.

We’ve got to get away from choosing ‘centerist’ candidates trying to appeal to the moderates. The moderates dont know what they want. If you choose a centerist candidate they will still not know. But the democrats damn sure know.

This will be the first time in my life that I have ever saved $$$ to donate for a campaign. If Gov. Palin chooses not to run, I may buy a new car instead...

BUT... the converse of this fact is that she will reduce the funds and volunteers for lower tier conservative candidates. To some extent.

Calm your fears, SarahPac coffers will also be filled, precisely to help that tier as it did in the 2010. An endorsement by Sarah will have direct funds sent to battlegrounds across the USA.

I will give the max to Sarah and to those that support her. Shoot, I've got a nice burial fund I can tap. And if I'm called home poor, the Demoncrat run county can bury my carcass. That would be my last laugh at them.

;>)

Take joy that God has given us such enemies that are so clearly and readily revealed and take to the coming battle with same confident smile that Sarah sports.

” She is obviously the strongest candidate, or the media would ignore her. They will prop up Romney/Pawlenty/Huck until they get the nomination, and then destroy them. That’s a fact. They did it to McCain.”

Agree. You can even see some of this in the Romney ahead of Obama so the complacent will be ok with him.

"I dream about Sarah Palin,"

There may be a few lib women who dream about Sarah (most must prefer ugly girls like their friends), although I doubt that many libs understand what she would do or why. I'd guess that about half the men in the Dem party dreams about Todd Palin in ways that would turn Todd's stomach and mine, and the other half prefer little boys. Me, I dream about Sarah . . . and in my dreams she's tossing that drug-addled communist out of our White House and restoring constitutional, limited government.

Sarah’s first “moneybomb” would blow Washington DC right off the map. The total would be so scary they would have to try to find some way to shut it down.

The RINOS really need to stop sniffing sterno and wake up. If Sarah jumps into this thing, they’re going to have to get with the NEW program doublequick chop chop because “the base” is going to run right over them if they don’t.

re: left’s heads would literally explode

I opined the other day that so many liberal/leftie heads would explode that there would be no one left on their side to do Obama’s bidding, even if he manged to win. Now that's a win-win situation in my book.

I am for her 110%, any joy I might get from the spectacle of exploding liberal heads would purely serendipity!

As has been said...”Governor Palin is on the cutting edge of the New Media and politics.” ... Once she decides to run...the stampeed will flood, money, time and effort... and take her all the way to Washington.

I'm just waiting for her "go" signal to do the automatic monthly donation thingy on SarahPAC.

I don't believe Palin can use the money from her SarahPAC for her presidential campaign. She'll need to start a separate campaign fund. I could be wrong though. Maybe someone else knows for sure.

She’ll get some of my money too. I haven’t donated since I sent her money in ‘08 cuz I sure didn’t send it because of McCain.

I’ve been saying this.

When Obama was running, I was warning people, he can get in, and he will destroy this country. People thought he couldn’t possibly win, so they were pushing O. Mistake.

Sarah is the same way. Now, she won’t have the MSM behind her covering her tail and pushing her forward like the emptyOne, but she CAN win. The Dems hope she runs - what they don’t realize, is its Romney that would put Obama in again, not Sarah.

She snaps her fingers and I will donate. When she gave that speech when she was picked for VP, I donated to the McCain ticket.

When she appeared in Ohio with McCain I captured the live stream on my computer. Every once in a while I replay it and still get chills and a misty computer screen. Most amazing response to a candidate I have ever had.
