Still a player? It’s been a month since the election.

[Sarah Barracuda]

EXACTLY. If John McCain wants to know how come he lost the election, he should look in the damn mirror. Voting for the bailout, that was SOCIALISM, nationalizing the banks, that sealed his fate, if he didn’t have Sarah on the ticket I would have held my nose and voted for him(What other choice did I have) but voting for him was so much easier with Sarah, she is such a breath of fresh air, the ONLY one with the guts and balls to stand up and say what Obama really is, that is why the media hates her, she stood up against Obama, McCain didn’t(too much of a pussy) but Sarah did, that showed me this woman doesn’t take crap from no one, I LOVE THAT! They won’t report on how she refused the pay increase(Show me any other politician who says thanks but no thanks to a pay raise!) yet they will report on her daughter’s boyfriend’s mother being arrested(A who the hell cares kinda story) McCain and Palin didn’t have anything in common, he is a liberal, she is a true conservative, they were not on the same page, match Sarah up with a TRUE Reagan conservative and they will win by a landslide

Don’t get me wrong on this post...Gov Palin is a candidate I would support enthusiastically in 2012.

However I lurk & post a lot on dimocrat forums, and the hate
towards Sarah is just humongous. They look at her like we did
at Hillary during 2008. Even on non-political Yahoo games, I
run into people who spew hate towards me since my ID says
something good about Ms. Palin.

They look at her like we did at Hillary during 2008.

That doesn't seem to have hampered Hillary Clinton to any great degree. It took apparent dirty dealing for her to lose out on the nomination.

Guaranteed:

The USA Pravda (aka the One Party Press/Mainstream Media) will spend the next 4 years assassinating Palin to try to destroy her in the mind of USA voters (illegals, felons, non-citizens, pet animals, the deceased and the imaginary plus legal voters).

Politics of character destruction as polished by the Clintons will be further perfected, now that the Clinton Admin is back in power, plus figurehead Socialist Obama.

Only question is: Would Obama or Jimmy Carter, as President, be more of a disaster for the USA?

But she is clearly bright and, when she talks about what she knows, fluent and engaging—though she could slice cucumbers with that accent.

Even I, a devoted Palin supporter had to laugh at this comment. Sarah's accent grated on my nerves at times. I can't imagine what it does to a Brit. :)

Outstanding article. Thanks for posting.

I love Sarah’s accent—it is a part of her authenticity!

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Just Googled her name and Biden’s, and the number of English language hits in the last month for her is 411,000 and for him 46,000. Looks like old Joe is fading away.

[Lou Budvis]

The fact that the msm considers Levi J’s mom’s arrest newsworhty is just more evidence of its fear/fascination with SP. It’s almost like a stalker thing, or a high schooler trashing a classmate on the internet b/c that classmate is popular and pretty and doesn’t know they exist.

[Marmolade]

I think a bunch of it was done with prepaid debit cards.

[LiveFree99]

You betcha!!!!!!

[Arthur McGowan]

I notice that reporters address the illegal alien as “Mr. President-elect,” when “Senator” or “Mr. Obama” would be perfectly correct.

BTW: It’s perfectly correct to address Bush as “Mr. Bush” as well as “Mr. President.”

[Canedawg]

Yep, mark levin made the same point on more than one occasion. He ranted that there is NO such thing an “the office of the President-elect!”

It is hubris on the pos-elect’s part.

“Senator” would be perfectly acceptable.

[IrishBrigade]

let Sarah run her own campaign, she will kick ass!!..

...hate to let reality intrude on your love fest, but expectations for Obama are so low that if he merely manages to keep the country from sinking into the sea, he will be guaranteed reelection...Sarah Palin is too easy a target to shoot at, sort of like shooting wild animals from a helicopter with a high powered firearm, she’s slow on the rebound froma setback and tends to be too defensive...in some ways she was served well by the McCain team in not allowing her further access to the media...if she wants to run for the white house, let her do so in 2016, when Obama ennui is at its height and a more seasoned Mrs Palin can present herself to a wider element than the sector she now appeals to, which tends to be the more ill informed of the electorate...
