Thanks! I didn’t hear him say it just now but did hear or read something similar yesterday. Wouldn’t suprise me - they’re just trying to CYA for the poor job they did of handling her and the poor messages of the campaign.
Thank you Michelle.
Expound and explain, please
Palin was the lipstick on McCain’s pig.
Duh!!! is what someone says when they don’t know. Sort of like the deer in the spot light look.
Michelle. Marry me. Or at least be Sarah's campaign manager. Party Unity My @ss!
Quit trying to pimp that discredited Republican claptrap. It's OVER, Ced.
Return of the Bull Moose?
My take? The immediate, incredible power, of “Sarah”, totally took EVERYONE by surprise, and in turn, scared the living beejeebers out of every darn one of them, on BOTH sides of the aisle, from McCain, and Obama on down.
They are ALL out to destroy her, because none of them ever have, or ever will connect like she has. Sarah is a hardworking, intelligent, decent, REAL human being, and people recognize that, AND THEY LIKE IT. Heck, even the die hard libs at SNL did.
And the media remembers all too well, the last “politician” who had that basic likability - Reagan. So their job, is to make the sheeple believe her plain speaking, is actually ignorance. To insinuate that her warmth, and her ability to “connect” is really a very, very well done schtick. So well done, in fact, that we have ALL fallen for it, and aren’t we so grateful to the media, for opening our eyes to the sad truth.
What monsters they are. I will never forget what they did to her, and to her family. Every time I happen to see the Junior Senator’s children, I will remember.
Thank you God, for Sarah. The simple fact that she exists, gives us hope. The pure Hell that she, and her family steadfastly endured, gives us the strength, and determination to stay our course.
Write Sarah, and tell her how much she meant to you.
Well I think Dick Morris was right for once. He says the polls that showed an 11-10 pt blowout were wrong, though he believes they served their purpose to depress Republican turnout.
This is soooooooooooooooooo sick! Sarah’s been savaged by the media and these good for nothing lowlifes are even worse.
I’m even more pissed off then on election night!!! We need NAMES of these scumbags and to let everyone know that any candidate associated with these fcukers will lose and lose bad!
No. In your own words, what are you meaning?
Sarah's got'em, ripped 'em right off a moose.
True conservative Republicans cannot be divided.
I’ve come to the conclusion that we have too many professional politicians and “staff” who know little beyond the dc beltway. They hangout together, advise one another to the point they are one party, really. There are few REAL Republicans in dc, even if they were before elected, they become part of the beltway thinking and talking by the 2nd election. From the 2nd election on they think only of the upcoming election and how they can stay in power. I’m including the “staff”, as the staff move from republican office holder to democrat office holder. For the staff, working in the house or senate is a revolving door, they keep their jobs and advise the office holder.
LOL!
Were you around for the same primary that I was?
Sounds like steve schmidt has the cajones of the pillbury doughboy. No wonder mccain ran such a weak campaign.
Yeah well apparently one candidate and his operatives didn’t let it end at there.
But the polls showing a 2% or 4% race were off as well. I guess the aggregate of all polls taken together was correct after all.
Morris was way off. WAY, WAY off. He now bloviates as if he did not completely make a fool of himself just on Monday. Why is he even getting the attention he is? Because he made predictions far different from Karl Rove and other Republicans? Nothing but Morris just being a self-serving tool.
I don’t think Carl Cameron is a conservative, he’ll report any disagreeable rumor about conservatives.
That's less than the 121 million who voted in 2004, despite the claims by many in the media that there would be an almost-unprecedented 65% turnout with definitely more than 130 million and probably 140 million votes cast.
Of the 120.5M, McCain got 6 million fewer votes than Bush did in 2004 and Obama got 5 million more votes than Kerry did in 2004.
Of those extra 5 million for Obama, it looks like 2.5 million came from net undecideds breaking for Obama and 2.5 million in new Democrat voters.
Of the 6 million less for McCain, about 2.5 million is accounted for by the net 2.5 million undecideds he lost and as many as 3.5 million Republicans staying home.
My undecided numbers are based on the polls saying that 11% were undecided going into the last week of the election - 11% of 120.5 is 13.25 million, with 60% breaking Obama and 40% breaking McCain, the 20% differential is about 2.5 million.
So two myths were shattered:
(1) On the left, the myth that turnout would be up 17% was completely wrong - so far the numbers say turnout was down slightly.
(2) On the right, the myth that Clinton voters would vote McCain in protest was completely wrong - Obama got almost the exact same percentage of Democrat voters that Kerry got.
Governor Palin energized the base, but not enough.
My final observation is that many GOP voters may have stayed home in states like mine (New Jersey) where they knew McCain had no shot at winning, while Democrats in states like mine were excited and motivated to run up the score for Obama even though the state results were a foregone conclusion.
In the key states that McCain lost but needed to take: FL, VA, NC, OH, IN he lost by an average of 2.5% of the vote, versus the 6.25% he lost by nationally. GOP turnout was not as depressed in those key states.
Yeah. Good thing that nasty rumor comes from such reliable sources!
* eye roll *
I sat there with my mouth agape listening to Cameron last night. Screw those people who thought Sarah was beneath them. Next time, she’ll have her own damn people who think she hung the moon. Can’t wait, Sarah!
Now it all makes sense!
obama copied clinton and ran to the center.
mccain copied dole except for the last two days.
palin was the draw.
she needs to do gravitas building to make her media proof.

OH AND BY THE WAY!
WOUlD A SPECIAL ELECTIO ALLOW PALIN TO TAKE THE SENATE SEAT IN TIME FOR THE NEXT CONGRESSIONAL SESSION?
SHE WOULD BE A MEDIA DIMINISHER FOR THE OBAMA(TAXES) INAGURATION!
Mitt needs to be smart.
He can use his energies to rebuild the conservative base and have an infrastructure to build a lasting majority.
Obama is about Obama.
McCain alone had crowds in the thousands.
Palin alone had crowds in the tens of thousands.
McCain had to appear with palin to get crowds. That reality had to hit him. Time for him to respectfully turn some of that graciousness to the conservatives of the party. Mrs. McCain should help him see the light unless she is happy Obama(taxes) is in office.
As someone who is represented in both the House and Senate by two just reelected RINO members of congress, (Graham and Inglis) I'm beginning to agree with your idea. We just need to make sure we take people like Senator Jim DeMint with us.
why don’t you just take over your local republican club/party?
they are disorganized,
they are vulnerable,
obviously they are inadequate,
you could easily move in and take over.
I smell RAT infiltrators in the McCain/Palin campaign. Alinsky would be proud.
Explain please.
Who are the "certain" people?
What is the "why" that causes them to push her?
And don't send me a link about low turnout in Ohio. That isn't Palin's fault, but even if it were, it doesn't explain the conspiracy theory reference in your post.
Put up or shut up.
That's the truth with a capital "T"!
We need a new party, just like when the GOP was formed from the useless Whig party in 1854.
We conservatives have had the football pulled away from us by Lucy one too many times.
BTW--say hello to the lovely and talented Mrs. Don-O for me.
Yes he is a good one. Grahm is a loon. One of the McClame gang. He gotta go.
I cannot believe I’m writing this, because it breaks my heart, but my Obamaite family members are gloating, and it is sickening.
January 10 rally in IOWA to begin the Presidential campaign season.
Well said: you said it for all of us.
I think we should start the pre-pesidential primaries January 10. A four year presidential campaign would be great.
If it wasn’t for her the ‘pubbies would never have stood a chance to begin with. Stupid vichie republicans.
If Sarah runs again I will devote all my efforts to help her get elected.. I will keep score on the Obama-Nation.. I will put flyers in every door. I will keep track of every failed promise he made.
What's that old saw about “in bed with a dead girl or a live boy?” With Lindsey we just might have a chance. Maybe the National Enquirer to the rescue?
I fully agree with MM, but sadly, I totally disagree with you. SP is damaged goods
