If my memory hasn't COMPLETELY left me, I have recollection of Will saying the same thing about Reagan circa 1979. He eventually got on the bandwagon.
Yep. And then after it became apparent Reagan would be dominating American politics for the foreseeable future all the RINOs/naysayers enthusiastically jumped on his bandwagon and adopted him as their own. And it escalated to reverence shortly thereafter. ...publicly, anyway.
You, Frances Martel, please create a word using the normal word-production mechanisms of English, popularize it, and see it added to the Oxford Dictionary. We’ll wait...
I don't think that has anything to do with Will's opinion. Sarah rarely puts her faith in front of her dialogue.
Will is probably referring to the caricature that the MSM created for Palin...of which he is part.
She's not "Ivy League", and frankly MOST WOMEN "don't like her".
It's her biggest obstacle, lack of support by women.
Do we really want a congressman with no executive experience after the disaster that is the Obama administration? Neither has ever run so much as a snow cone stand as far as I know. I like Rep. Ryan, too, but not as president.
Gee...for the life of me, I still can't figure out why George Will would want to convince us that Sarah Palin can't beat Obama.
I hope Nelson can shed some light on the matter. Nelson's busy right now; he's asking David Letterman whether he should wipe his butt back to front or left to right.
Sheeples can't make such decisions on their own.
In the afterglow of Reagan.
“It’s her biggest obstacle, lack of support by women.”
It’s too late to butcher Trig, but maybe Sarah can put on about 75 pounds by the primaries.”
In all sincerity, provided she wins the nomination, I would be very happy if you were right and I was wrong.
Palin absolutely will lose if she is the nominee.

Making a statement like this on FR is worth your life...I happen to agree with you but I’m getting used to all the hate mail...Lord help you if you disagree with anyone on this site!
Translation for any Will and Krauthammer comments:
“Sarah Palin is not part of our inside Washington crowd. We don’t get invited to her cocktail parties. We don’t get exclusive interviews from her. She doesn’t accept our suggestions on the issues. She didn’t go to all the right Ivy League schools that we did. She is too much in tune with the electorate, which is well beneath our station. She has to go away so that some suckup will get the nomination and let us be on the inside again.
I guess we'll never know for sure because IMHO, Gov. Palin won't run!
Would it be fair for me to say that those who are against her have not suffered? obama is bad news for all, some sooner, some later.Those that are for him are still waiting for his promises, free gifts. They have no clue.
I am testing, examining myself. If Gov Sarah does not run now, will she still have the same following from me in four years as she does now? Will I still be loyal to her? I guess that would depend on what happens in the next four years... if someone of the same qualities as Gov Sarah steps up to the plate.
Right now, she's the complete opposite of obama. In every way.
She ran once and her partner lost. Look how she shines now. She should run now. When she wins, she'll be great. If she loses, she will be more in everyone's face than she is now.
Maybe God didn't want her as a Vice President. Maybe He wants her as a President. Sometimes God denies us a position because He has a better one in store for us. Maybe God wants Gov Sarah as President.
I say: What’s the difference?too. I have money waiting to help Sarah if she decides to run. If she decides not to, the money will not go to anyone else.She is the only trustworthy, G-d fearing one out there.
Right back at ya, He wants a Rino and since Rinos have shown they don’t mind socialism I would suspect Mr. Will wants socialism.

I’ve been thinking about that. If Sarah Palin is denied the nomination, her supporters should write in her name for president. After all, isn’t that what the rinos do in Alaska, Delaware, Utah, etc, when they don’t get their way?
Right back at ya to what? I wasn’t insulting you.
My FRiend I’m going to vote for Sarah Palin if she wins the nomination. I’m aware of the sheer number of Palin Worshipers on FR. I’m aware that JimRob supports her as well. My position though that there is a difference between support and “worship”. I don’t care for the cult of personality that has developed around Palin and is no different from the one that developed around Obama. For me the difference is between Palin’s supporters that openly say that, in the end, they will support any nominee, provided they are conservative, and those that take the position that if Sarah Palin is not the nominee they will take their bat and ball and go home.
