lemme get this straight, a group of RINOs sides with the left again.....always newsworthy, isn’t it! NOT

[Non-Sequitur]

My God, can you imagine what it would have been like between these two had they won?

All through the campaign, I kept asking my husband why McCain didn’t hire better campaign managers. I guess, as we now know, the ones he had were terrible. They threw Sarah to the wolves too early.

I agree with you Earthdweller, Sarah is “more explosive than radioactive”.

[Nam Vet]

But just think about it.

With these Schmidt-fer-brains running Mitt's campaign,

Sarah is a slam dunk for the nomination !

When I was an aerospace engineer I had to brief McCain’s staff on some industry issues. They were a lot like their boss: highly opinionated, arrogant, and impolite with an “enemies list” of aerospace contractors that they abhorred. I was a bit taken aback, but our industry association DC staffers said that my impression was correct and accurate.

McCains camp makes me think of the closest thing to puke.

All liars and Obama minions.

“The problem wasn't who her interview was with, the problem was her interview,” he added. “Couric asked no trick questions. This just seems to be an attempt to obscure as bad a performance since Roger Mudd asked Ted Kennedy that simple question.”

BS! Obama was never subjected to the kind of interrogation Couric or Gibson threw at Palin. It was a gotcha game rather than finding out what sort of governor she was and why she was running for VP.

Looks like the McCain handlers were only interested in scoring points. They obviously never liked Palin. Whenever she did well, they seemed interested in bringing her down. Let's not forget that the negative leaks about Sarah came from their camp.

Funny how the media and the McCain people purposely ignore what is the the most substantive part of her book. Rush said that this is truly one of the most substantive policy books he has read, but we would never know this from the pre-release commentary by the media and of McCain's merry band of losers.

[Oztrich Boy]

we felt it necessary to adopt the same deliberativeness and discipline employed by our opponents

Now there's you problem. Just following your opponents will keep you following them.

Thedilg, I appreciated your post 62 very much. I cannot tell you how many times I have been confronted by people purporting to be conservatives who have told me of their poor opinion of Sarah Palin. Almost every time their opinions have been based completely on Saturday Night Live, late night comedians and the pathetic media hatchet job. The negativity has been completely based on this fluff, which was unfortunately a highly effective Alinsky tool (”Ridicule is man's most potent weapon.”)

I believe that Sarah Palin is not only a very inspirational leader, but also a highly intelligent woman and that she is laying the ground work to defeat this tactic in the future. I believe she will be successful and that ultimately all publicity from the media will eventually work in her favor. Even now, over a year after the election, an irrelevant bit player in the Palin media hit job, Levi Johnson is capable of drawing more media attention than Al Gore or John Kerry. To me that is a great indicator of the people's fascination with Sarah Palin.

Her book is going to be a huge success. She draws huge crowds whenever she speaks. The media is still all over her and the coverage is beginning to turn positive. She has become one of the leading critics of Cap and Tax, Obamacare and the Obama administration. Sarah Palin is stealing the spotlight from traditional Republican leadership. She is also not afraid to enlist the assistance and support of Conservative Commentators. This is all happening without billions of dollars being pumped into some type of leftist shadow campaign. Those who cannot see that she is the rising star at this time are deluding themselves. All she has to do is step in front of one of the huge tea party crowds and magic will happen.
