The RNC has become a giant scam.

agree.

I asked that hillbilly preacher, so called bass player, president want to be, to stop calling my cell phone.

I have seen what comes from Hope.

The RNC has become a giant scam.

I'm not so sure. It could be to keep the lib media from controlling the debates. They have gotten some complaints for allowing NBC/Politico to host.

RNC to Sarah Palin: “Play ball with us or take a hike.”

That’s the message here from an RNC firmly back in the hands of the Establishment.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

My opinion is that Sarah is not going to participate in any GOP primary debates, regardless who's sponsoring it and who's moderating it. What she's going to do, is webcast or broadcast on TV a video highlighting Obama's failures, explaining her record and background, and offering specific solutions.

And I don't blame her one bit. She said she's going to run an unprecedented campaign, and something like this falls right up her alley. No candidate, especially her, can give a 2 min soundbite answer among 8 other candidates that'll be twisted the next morning in 10-pt font on the NY Times.

Palin is going to talk directly to the voters. At the most, she will give live interviews with local TV news anchors, and she will create a state-of-the-art website and empower her supporters to double as reporters and live-blog every event she holds. She will completely disregard the Beltway and the lamestream media. It will truly be the first 21st-century political campaign.
