Sarah Palin is in GOP party leaders' bullseye if Republicans fall short in November..
Daily News ^ | Friday October 22, 2010 | Thomas M. Defrank

Sarah Palin has unquestionably made her voice heard in this election cycle - but if the GOP falls short of taking back the Senate as most prognosticators expect, the Pride of Wasilla will take a hit from party leaders who think she turns off independents.

"If we don't win the Senate I have one thing to say: ‘Thank you, Sarah Palin,'" a household name and bigtime player in Republican circles tells The Mouth.

This source and several other party elders believe Palin's endorsement of Christine O'Donnell has made a difficult Senate seat pickup in ideologically centrist Delaware hopeless.

They also believe Palin could be the difference between winning and losing in several other Senate races, including Nevada and California.

Palin is extremely unpopular among indie voters, especially in California. A recent Field Poll found that 69% of California independent voters have an unfavorable opinion of Palin. And independents are nearly a quarter of the California electorat

The Ruling Class is deliberately setting the bar high knowing it’s more likely we will fall short, so then they can unload on Sarah.

What we need is cleansing of the GOP. Kick their behinds out of the party once and for all.

This is just more sabotage that smells like it came from the camp of Mitt Romney and his thug friends from Salt Lake City.

Give it up, Mitt. Endorse Sarah now or get out of politics!

Thomas DeFrank is full of DeCrap if he/she/it wants to change the narrative.

I think the 80's are calling and want their tired, worn out, playbook back, a$$wipe.

Is it Kathleen Parker?

Is she still a part of “Republican circles?”

Maybe its Meg McCain

Who’d have thought the anonymous were so opinionated?

If the GOP doesn't win the Senate it's because Mitch McConnell and the rest of the would-be committee chairs didn't have the fire in the belly and, frankly, the balls to make it happen.

Sarah definitely has the fire in the belly.

California would have been the drowning step-child if Fiornia had not had her own money. Rove would never put GOP money into CA because it is a ‘lost cause’. FINALLY the state is in play. Thank you Carly and Sarah. Whitman’s wealth made it possible to win here too in the Governor’s race. The GOP elites would have and do care squat.

Just like John McCain, the Republican party would fall
on it’s face this election if it wasn’t for Sarah Palin.
If they don’t understand this then they don’t deserve
to lead.

I believe this is just more disinformatzia from our
friends in the fifth column.

Trash talk- probably fake.

The energy and awakening Sarah P. has brought to the table far outweighs this 2010 referendum, which I believe will go quite well.

Who bats a thousand anywhere? We’re all creatures of gut and spirit and intellect, in varying degrees. We make our decisions based of the information we have in light of our experience and instinct.

She is the firebrand willing to put herself out there and fade the flack.

.

The other day El Rushbo warned the old “reach across the aisle” GOP elites that they could easily become the 3rd party - with only 10% of the vote

And the Tea Party will duke it out with the Commie DNC and spare no ammo

Not smart to buck Rush and Sarah

Arlen Spector, Bill Clinton, and Baraq Hussein Obama Junior found that out!

Yep, my first thought was Mitt's people...remember Mitts staff was sabotaging McCain and Sarah during the 2008 election with all of those attacks against Sarah, Mitt's staff will be working for the next two years attacking Sarah with anonymous sources! book on it!

There are plenty of clowns of both Parties to throw out here in Minnesota. Fortunately, I left Sodom & Gomorrah by the Mississippi for the more pastoral and conservative outstate district of John Kline. Our resident lefties here are socialist farmers looking for subsidies but commie pinheads like Klobuchar and Franken still come to church basement beanfeeds when election year rolls around.

We’ll get our chance sooner or later - if the pubbies don’t screw things up.

How obvious do they think they aren’t.

IF something happens, its a private citizen’s fault. Where is Steele?

They don’t stop and think since she’s in their mind 24/7. I’d think her heel come through their eye more than once.

I’d say SARAH is the most loved (and hated) and most known private citizen ever and the most POWERFUL.
