Taking Palin's Chances Seriously (Mild Barf Alert)

The American Scene ^ | July 22, 2010 | Noah Millman

Romney needs to prove he’s better at tearing down Obama if he wants the nomination, than Palin. Showing us how well you tear down Palin only turns people away.

[4rcane]

I think Palin has the best chance of winning against Obama compared to the others, but the country made not be ready by 2012. We could still be in this malaise economically and voters are still willing to give Obama another chance. If we experience a stockmarket crash, increasing job lost, $2trillion+ deficit per year, crashing USD. Palin will have a great chance of winning the general election. Still too many people believe stimulus help the economy, even amongst the establishment GOP

Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t the president get to pick the head of his/her party once he/she is elected?

That right there is worth my vote, amongst many other things.

Agree Palin can beat obozo and 2012 will be her best shot. Most independents and more libs are seeing and experiencing the disaster of obomanomics and want real change.

This will be the best time to run as a strong conservative and be willing to call out the rats for who they are - socialists. Sarah has demonstrated she has the strength and will to be upfront with these alinsky communists.

see my tagline....

[Brices Crossroads]

“Her strongest competition is Mitt Romney, who is strong where Palin is weak – obvious intelligence”

I could have stopped reading right there. The guy is about as perceptive as a turnip. Did he read the takedown of Mitt’s argument(ghost written by Jim Talent)concerning the START treaty? Intelligent? Why? becasue he read it somewhere.

Strike 1

“They can’t expect the gasbags to do it for them, because it’s not in their interest. Attacking Palin would be bad business for Limbaugh”

Thinks Rush is a “gasbag” Well, he thinks Romney has obvious intelligence. “Obvious” perceptual problem, Noah.

Strike 2

“But if her strategy works on her terms, then the GOP has a problem.

If that happens, the GOP will need to convince Romney to go kamikaze....Which may not be that hard... If it looks like a Palin insurgency could actually win, pressure comes down on Romney to put her away, and the new establishment favorite becomes the candidate that the Palinites can reconcile themselves to.”

Romney, go kamikake and take Palin out? This poor little dude has absolutely no idea of how a GOP primary works. And he certainly knows nothing about Mitt Romney. Romney wouldn’t go kamikaze on a bowl of jello. If ANYONE tried to go kamikaze on Palin, she would eviscerate them. The MSM has been trying to do it for two years now and it has blown up in their collective faces. But Mittens can do the job, according to this little snark.

A little more background on this guy. I saw him referred to as a conservative blogger. He loved McCain but voted for Obama. He loves Michael Bloomberg. He supported Livni, the “whack job” Labor Candidate in Israel. Some “conservative”.

Strike 3

I don’t mind the fact that the guy is tendentious; or that he is so consistently wrong, even obtuse;

BUT HIS PROSE IS POSITIVELY TURGID, and I refuse to read anything he writes again. He is a very poor writer, who is nonetheless quite pleased with himself. What a guy.

[The Wizard]

obvious intelligence, establishment backing, proven ability to run an actual campaign for President, strong organizational skills and a deep political organization

Hello....Madam President has much of these traits than the current pretender in chief or mittens

[The Wizard]

I am so tired of PDS....

The author has obviously bought the official media narrative of Palin, and has not bothered to look for the points where it is obviously incorrect.

That said, his strategery is interesting. Romney's a douche who will undoubtedly go after Palin mean and dirty. But that will only reinforce his douchosity and finish him politically. He can move on to selling used cars, as God intended.

I'm not at all convinced Palin is running and I actually think she would be better served to another role. She could help pick a real conservative candidate, then endorse, campaign fundraise etc for him. Then accept a cabinet position (Secretary of Energy?) in the next administration, in prep for her own presidential run down the road.

I'll vote for her if she runs now, but I think she needs to build a national career and reputation to overcome the media template that's been laid out for her.

Yes, section9’s comments were interesting. Very.

[hosepipe]

[ Newt would in now way help Sarah, and his high negatives would hurt her. ]

I don't agree.. Newt knows how "it works".. knows the many pitfalls and gambits of Congress.. Knows how to work the system.. And as VeeP could advise her closely(with advice)... John McLame is just a milstone around her neck..

She could use an "old pro" while being President.. or even while campaigning.. She should pull the best of the best as advisors.. including Dick Morris.. YEAH!.. I know.. but he could add a look into democrat logistics most maybe ANY republican would not "get"..

[hosepipe]

[ Newt? Who would be scheming every second? ]

Exactly.. THATS WHY?.. he would so useful...
As VeeP he could be contained.. he is no Biden...
Smartest move she could make would be to add Newt on the team...
Even NOT as VeeP... but as VeeP he would have something to lose..

Please,he’s completely marginalized already. This is not a matter of keeping your enemies closer.

[magritte]

If you are a Palin voter, you are voting top of the ticket regardless of who she runs with. For the many Republicans / Independents who think Palin is not a good candidate, they will be looking at the VP slot...Gingrich is Palin’s Dick Cheney....magritte

[hosepipe]

[ Nope,,, Nope... Nope.. ]

Its true.. some conservatives are short sighted.. looking for perfection..
Not all but some..

If Romney was good Mass. citizens wouldn't like him.. THEY DO..
If the Huckster was good he wouldn't be such a RINO weakling...
The others barely register on electability..

Nope... Palin / Gingrich is the best TICKET...

[hosepipe]

[ Please,he’s completely marginalized already. ]

Newt marginalized?... are you nuts..
All the ethics charges against Newt are bull steam...
As those leveled against Sarah Palin in Alaska were and are..

Sure he copt to one of them.. but Newt is a force to reckoned with...
He knows things about Congress Palin will never know..

Romney and the Huckster are too friendly with the BAD GUYS...
AND the faux good guys meaning the RINOs... which are cross dressed democrats..

You deal with the bad with power.. the power of the truth..
You eviscerate them not haggle with them..

[wtc911]

Palin / Gingrich is the best TICKET...
