I’m an independent and I will vote for Sarah Palin!
I don’t believe that Palin is weak among our kind.
To Karl Rove, who funded the four most recent polls? The RinoS?
“I mean, in 1980 this was a key test for President Reagan when he ran for the presidential nomination and he demonstrated he can unify the party and that he had a special appeal outside the Republican Party’s so-called Reagan Democrats,” he added, stressing that Republicans want to win in 2012 and want a candidate who can draw voters from outside the party.”
I think Palin is rattling Tokyo Rove. These comments make no sense (Reagan Democrats are outside the Party dipslit)...then he goes on to state the obvious (Repubs want to win in 12).
wow, what analysis.

The only way ANY of these liberals (yes, YOU, Karl Rove!) can get ANY attention is to talk about Palin or the Tea Party.
But don’t forget, he’s the designated political genius.
Indeed. To get the nomination, a GOP hopeful must appeal to the base. And here Rove is prattling on about Democrats and independents.
Rove just talks too much and is way overexposed.
Rove was responsible for our 2006 and 2008 lost. When expedience trumps principal.

You just gotta wonder who Karl is listening to.
I think Sarah Palin’s great charm is that she strikes a cord with independents and, yes, even democrats of reasonable persuasion.
Karl is blinded by some undisclosed prejudice and he better just shut up until he reconfigures the political landscape.
And so far ahead of Rove he needs nitrous oxide to catch up!

***Rove has it all backwards.

I’m a big tent republican.

Here’s an analogy to work with. Take a small box and fill it with some rocks. Then add some rice, filling it to the top. Now take all the same stuff, but in a different order. Put in the rice first, then add the rocks. What you’ll find is that if you put in the big stuff first, the small stuff will fit around it. But if you put in the small stuff first, the big stuff won’t have room. The republican tent is the box. The Big issues are the socon issues, to be put in first. The little issues are things that can be accommodated around the bigger stuff. A candidate who tries to focus on the smaller issues first and leave out the bigger issues has no way of getting all of us into the tent. He splits the party. The candidate who gets the big stuff right and as much of the little stuff that will fit, he can fit more into the tent. We’re often amazed at how much rice can keep fitting in. Rudy Giuliani flunks some of the big issues, and on some of the little issues it looks to me like anyone else’s rice would do just as well. All that remains for us to agree on is which are the bedrock principles and which are not. Why would there be so much invective aimed at rudy from the right? Because there are some bedrock principles that he is leaving out. Bad move. I see rudybot postings all the time saying that they would vote for Hunter, and I see socon postings that say they would not vote for rudy. That’s a BIG indicator of a few bedrock principles that are being left outside the tent in order to let in some rice.

He’s actually right.
Palin is going to be caracatured like Buchanan if she doesn’t start reaching out to the middle. Her image is too far right and too polarizing.
All MR and MRS America want is a sane right of center pol they can trust. Reagan showed he wasn’t an extremist so America voted for him and he accomplished a lot.
From the article:
“She’s got a problem with independents and a problem with Democrats, and over the course of the next year, like all of the Republican candidates, she’s got to demonstrate that she has an ability to unify the Republicans and reach outside the Republican ranks,” Rove said.
Uh, yep...and I’m tickled that Sarah has a problem with DhimmiRats. Apart from that, I’ve been hearing Rove’s claptrap about uniting the Pubbies for some time, now. I call BS! The pubbies must be willing to be united, first. And, right now that doesn’t look possible. As long as the elitists from inside the vacuum of the beltway are running the party, Sarah is best positioned right where she is...talking to the people, not the politico’s.
Rove’s mental meanderings are beginning to wear thin.
Rove was responsible for our 2006 and 2008 lost.

I disagree. Bush refused to defend himself, his policies,and his party. He told O’Rielly he was keeping the “office of the President” above the fray.
This is how blue-bloods think.
They protect their position by not rocking the boat, so to speak. The bush disciples need to be replaced. imho
And she’s doing that. Her show on TLC, her books, and her appearances on DTWS are all designed to help redefine her. It will get harder for the left to caricature her after Mr. and Mrs. Middle of America (who really only pays attention the last two months of the election) have seen her on TV behaving no difference than they do.
When leftist outlets start hanging on your every word,
we know,
we’ve been fooled again.

Who is Carl(sp intentional) Rove and why should we listen to him?
