CARSON CITY – Long-time Republican political operative Sig Rogich said today that Sarah Palin is not a viable candidate for president in 2012.
Rogich, who was involved in the campaigns of Ronald Reagan and both Bush presidents, said Palin, a Tea Party favorite and former Republican Alaska governor, is unelectable.
“I’m not overly enamored with (Palin),” he said.
“As a candidate nationwide I don’t think she is electable for a presidency, and I think that over time you will see reasons why,” Rogich said.
Rogich made his comments in an interview on the Nevada NewsMakers television program.
Rogich said he does not believe a clear front-runner for the GOP in the 2012 presidential election has emerged yet.
Asked about possible choices within the GOP to face President Obama, Rogich mentioned former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour as potential candidates.
Rogich also headed up Republicans for Reid in the Nevada Senate race. U.S. Sen. Harry Reid easily won another term on Nov. 2, and Rogich said early on he did not believe the outcome of the contest against GOP challenger Sharron Angle was ever in doubt.
A lot of Nevadans, including moderate Republicans, thought Angle was eccentric and took positions that were not good for the state despite flawed polling that showed a much closer race, he said.
“So I felt pretty good about winning this election,” Rogich said.

A real conservative giant. Really? Just another has been or “never was” trying to get a little attention. For crying out loud, “Republicans for Reid”. What a moron.
As a Republicrat, he helped elect Dingy Harry Reid.
Well, it IS Nevada. Nuff said.
Damn! And here I was going to vote for her. Well fellow Palin supporters, I guess the jig is up, time for us to move on to someone more “electable”...(stifled laugter)
Palin 2012.
My tag says it all.
“Republicans for Reid”; closely affiliated with “Conservatives for Beelzebub”, “Libertarians for Lucifer” and “Independents for Satan”.
“I’m not enamored with that little shepherd boy David what’s-his-name”, Rogich, a local Sanhedrin operative pontificated. “He has no realistic hope or chance of becoming King of Israel”.

So, will someone explain HOW his support of Harry Reid makes this man(?) a Republican?
Indeed. I'm supposed to give him credence after learning this?
GOP Backstabber Sig Rogich:
“I support Whorehouse Harry Reid and BIG-DIG Mitt Romney because
they are conservative Republicans … like me and you.”
Hey Marge, what button do I hit to check for email and, oh hell, whats this twitter stuff everyone’s talking about and that other thingy, er, Facebook?
Dammit Marge, will you hand me the remote, you know, the one that changes the station on the TV.
Hey Marge, ...............
ME too! Dang, I’m sure glad that Sig what’s-his-name set me straight! Whew, close call there!
This Sig loser sets me straight. I’ve decided that the DU is the conservative site I now log onto. I need a leader like Sig to set me straight.
I love how Palin conducts herself. They say she’s unintelligent. How does she respond? By trying to convince liberals/statist that she is their definition of intelligent. No, she gives her voice and support to Paul Ryans plan for reducing government spending which is a concern many americans have right now. That’s what leadership is about. Its not about catering to a flimsy liberal definition of intelligence.
These scum have their own agenda. Don’t upset our cheating gravy train. We are stealing a lot of money for our retirement and those of our family and friends and of course we have to make sure we are in line with a progressive global community admission good only for a select few. To heck with the USA citizens; they don’t don’t count.
Translation “They don’t want conservatives” which was proven in the 2010 election and the 2008 when they not us selected John Stupid McCain.
We’re talking about a woman who became governor by knocking off the incumbent (Lisa’s daddy) in the primary, and then his Democrat predecessor in the general. Before anybody much south of Juneau knew who she was, much less was frothing at the mouth to get her elected. In a year when a lot of Republicans weren’t winning, period.
Never. Say. Never.
"Flawed polling" is newspeak for "vote fraud", apparently.
Cheers!
