That, my fiends, is Sarah Palin. She is the real McCoy, she is "True Grit."
She can win, and that's why Ronald Reagan is smiling. That's why the dummycrats are trying so hard to destroy her.

He'll endorse her early and the rest of the pack will wither.
I respect your opinion but absolutely do not agree that McCain could have won under any circumstances. He had about as much chance as Dole and his inexplicable endorsements of Obama as not being a dangerous inexperienced radical showed he had no stomach for the fight and in fact was afraid of being called a racist. Without Palin he would have lost in a landslide and Romney never could have drawn any passion from the base or from independents.
I sure do like Hunter.
Is this a joke? She was “blindsided” by that “devastating” interview? Set up? Please. Most of the posters on this board could have knocked those questions out of the park. I agree that the media was biased against her and inappropriately nasty and intrusive while they gave Obama a pass but that was an exceedingly poor performance. Pitiful actually.
Please don’t compare her to Reagan, she’s not close.
Nicole Wallace was quoted by CNN earlier this evening as saying Palin’s statements concerning why she needed to do the Kouric interview are false. Wallace claims she never said anything remotely like what Sarah claims in the book. Also, Wallace disputes Sarah’s claims that she (Wallace) ever gave any indication she didn’t like Bush when she was in his employ. She then went on to say how she just adored him.
Wasn’t Wallace the architect of the whole shopping spree that got Sarah hammered? Methinks there’s going to be several McCain aides doing a lot of denying over the next several weeks. Wallace and Schmidt are both snakes who’ve earned their reputations the hard way.
Of COURSE Palin is more conservative than Romney, I am not referring to RINOs or conservatives. Both sides had good turnout. The election was won among the undecideds.
These are the facts: John McCain took the in most of the polls in the second week of September. He held that lead until shortly after President Bush addressed the nation on the Economic Crisis on September 24th. After that, fear drove the election and politics went mostly out the window for unaffiliated voters.
Obama made a terrible VP pick with Biden, but the two other names I heard mentioned most often were Evan Bayh and Sam Nunn. Other than Nunn's stint in the Coast Guard, none of these men have held much of a job in their lives.
McCain was reportedly looking at Romeny (who may or may not have turned him down), Tim Pawlenty (whom I probably would have chosen), and Bobby Jindal (too young, though the McCains obviously have a connection to South Asia). He hated Mike Huckabee's guts and did not consider him. He came up with Sara Palin, an excellent choice for all the reasons you mentioned. But Romeny is the only one among them with a proven track record of understanding business. And that includes the presidential candidates obviously. I believe that is what have appealed to undecided voters most on election day 2008.
That's what I was talking about. And I did not say "definitely," I said he might have won if had picked Romney instead. I also said the country would have been worse off if he had picked Romeny and they had won.
If Hannity has Wallace on his show again after this I will stop watching it.
Am I wrong, or all of those articles POST November 3 2008?
I make this promise to you: If Palin gets the nomination, she won't find a more enthusiastic supporter than me. I have a lot of respect for her, even if I think she's missing a few things.
Gutless wonder didn't want to be named. Figures.
Given the market forces and bubbles about to burst at the time of the election --
perhaps (if we can kill the Dem majority in the House in 2010) -- it will have been *worth* it to have elected Obama: it just may saddle the Dems with the reputation of "clueless elitist who doesn't care and doesn't want to", which has been hounding the GOP ever since FDR.
Cheers!
I disagree about Romney. What could Romney have done when it was the BUSH administration that was pushing the panic button? McCain’s mistake, as we all know, was pretending that he could make a difference at the Washington conflab, when he had nothing. Obama was smart enough to keep his mouth shut and go along on the ride. This persuaded a lot of people that he was”reliable,” rather than the radical he has shown himself to be.
Sounds to me like you are hearing what you yourself are hearing what you want to hear from hear from Rush, and not paying any attention to what I am saying at all. I never suggested that he had anything negative to say about Palin. Neither do I. What he say is mostly in line with what I say, except he has an audience to consider. He won’t enorse any Republican candidate until April. He will say things like “Palin is qualified to be President,” or “Palin would do a great job as president.” I concur, but I won’t be voting for her either.

Nicolle Wallace was a self-absorbed fool who miserably failed in her job by accepting at face value the gratuitous pandering of Couric who is known as spiteful, contempuous individual.
That, my fiends, is Sarah Palin. She is the real McCoy, she is "True Grit."
She can win, and that's why Ronald Reagan is smiling. That's why the dummycrats are trying so hard to destroy her.
There are going to be primaries and people are going to vote. If Sarah Palin wins the most votes she will be the nominee if not then she will not be the nominee. It is that simple. The Republican Party cannot force anybody if the voters do not choose him in the primaries.
