Survey Says: People Still Care About Sarah Palin (Really!)
The Atlantic ^ | December 3, 2012 | David Graham, associate editor

Posted on 12/11/2012 6:15:07 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Even as she fades from the national spotlight, the former vice-presidential contender gets plenty of love on the Internet.

I'm going to let you in on a little journalism secret. Time was, political reporters knew that any post about Sarah from Alaska was any easy way to get eyeballs. (In one week in May 2010, I wrote three separate items under the rubric "Sarah Palin Real-Estate Watch." All were well-read.) Nowadays, the magic is gone. There's no serious talk of Palin 2016. There are no more reality TV shows. Her endorsement mojo has evaporated, and the term "Mama Grizzly" seldom echoes on the airwaves. Palin wasn't invited to speak at the Republican National Convention. She's even beefing with Fox News, a once unimaginable turn of events.

So a release from Yahoo as part of their year in review came as a bit of a surprise. Here are the top 5 most searched politicians on the search engine this year:

1. barack obama
2. mitt romney
3. sarah palin
4. ron paul
5. hillary clinton...

The Sarah Palins get chewed up alive at the same time that an America-hating, Marxist bastard gets a second term as POTUS.

Sarah knows how to deal with the whack left...That’s what scares the GOP! Those no balls don’t have a clue.

Yes, Governor.

I was disappointed when you chose not to run. I had great hopes, as I share your vision.

I think I understand more than I did a year ago or so.

Maybe we should “burn it down” and build the Third Party, starting now.

Palin/West 2016. And screw the GOP-we will form a new party for the task.

From your lips to God's ears (if we can hold out that long, with the Kenyan back in I wonder).

Can someone tell me why Palin is not a popular keyword on FreeRepublic and Santorum is up there and in red? Palin has many more keyword searches than Santo.

The Palin keyword links to 7 articles this month compared to Santo’s 2. I think it is time to retire Santorum and put Palin back at the top on Free Republic.

The reason that you are surprised... you turd-packing pos propagandist posing as a “jounalist”... is that your bias and hatred of GOD and all things connected with him... your hate of all things derived from good... and Sarah Palin is certainly a child of GOD... david... you sodomite loving demonic entity... your own bias, hate and evil soul compels you to hate her to the point that you think that everyone else hates her. WELL WE DO NOT HATE HER!!! We love her... your ilk... not so much. One day you presstitutes will pay a price... that day will come.

The GOP will undoubtedly serve up another worthless RINO drip.

Did someone say worthless RINO drip?

BTW, has Ann Coulter started shilling for him yet, or is she still in love with Crispy Creme?

Thanks.

I sure hope Palin is gearing up, right now.

It is important.

First of all, we need to see whether our party will become pro-American.

If not, dump them. The thing is, there is very little time left to decide.

Make up your minds GOP. Now.

This “import everything”, is a recipe for absolute ruin.

I read something yesterday and it was recommended that a new conservative party be formed, and because so many people believe in civil rights, the news party’s name should be “CONSERVATIVE CIVIL RIGHTS PARTY”. Then sit back and watch the the civil rights squawkers..
