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

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."

When she gives the "go" signal, she'll tell us where to send the money.

I think we all found out about how powerful social networks are now. Just ask Anthony Weiner.

That sounds like a pretty solid ticket to me too.

My apologies - in my rush in posting from work I was not clear - the person I met the night before her appearance on Hannity was Dee Dee Benkie and she is great!

However, Sarah is too and I look forward to the day when I can start working for her candidacy.

Politicians still don’t get how powerful social network sites are.

No kidding. Ask Michele Bachmann. She still has 321,887 people connected to her Facebook page, and 95% are right now blasting her for hiring Rollins, and demanding that she fire him, immediately and very publicly.

Not only won't Bachmann have enough support to stay in the primaries; she won't win reelection to congress unless she very quickly cleans up this mess.

The independants broke heavily for Obama last time,

The Independents who bothered to vote in 2008 broke heavily for Obama.

More than half of eligible voters don't vote because candidates of both parties are too far left to even choose a lesser of two evils.

In 2010, many of those former non-voting conservative independents came out and voted for TEA Party conservatives. And the result was the greatest coast-to-coast Republican wins in eighty years, and the greatest coast-to-coast conservative wins in the history of the USA.

"Independent" is not synonymous with "moderate". Most independents are more conservative than most Republicans, and their numbers are double that of Republicans.

“Not even if they (and all their paid online sycophants and apologists) all hop up and down like amphetamined spider monkeys and shriek “OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA — !!!” at us, from now until Election Day.”

Wife and I are still LOAO at that, funny, but better yet, absolutely TRUE.

Yep, and as far as the so called independents we keep hearing about....I only add this, because people seem to forget about the electoral college.

People in California, Mass, NY,Illinois,RI etc etc etc do not even matter, they can/will go to blazes anyway. All Sarah has to do is win the same States that GW won.

No offense meant to the good Conservatives living in the evil States I mentioned, just stating the facts, many of these Palin haters live in these States.
