Analysis: Palin's celeb feuds don't lead to the W.H.
Politico ^ | 3/7/1 | Andy Barr

Posted on 03/07/2011 7:32:22 PM PST by pissant

Sarah Palin is making her priorities clear – celebrity feuds trump visiting early states and building an organization.

Much was made of Palin’s hire of Mike Glassner as her chief of staff, but since then her operation has not begun to look any more like a campaign in waiting. Continue Reading

She has yet to hire additional staff to make a political play. And the contrasting 2012 storylines today serve as good a reminder as any recently of just how far Palin is from running for president.

In Iowa, five presidential candidates of various stature are participating in one of the first cattle calls at the Faith and Freedom Coalition forum.

And what’s Palin doing?

She’s in a celeb-feud with Kathy Griffin, who is pretty transparently using the conflict to promote her coming Broadway performance.

What good does it do Sarah to even acknowledge the filth-merchant Griffin?

Because she was asked about it on national TV and she gave an answer, especially after Griffin is going after her 16-year-old daughter Willow.

I like Palin’s defensive instincts, but if a nobody like Griffin can get to her

She didn't "get" to Palin. Palin hasn't even mentioned Griffin at all until Judge Jeannine brought it up and Palin answered. Think about it. Griffin was out dating Levi and saying all this other garbage about Palin and Palin said nothing until now.

what will happen in a presidential campaign with the MSM 100% against her?

Have you been under a rock the last 2.5 years? The media has savage Palin non-stop and yet she's still standing. What makes you think she can't handle a presidential campaign after being dragged through the mud during her vice-presidential one?

Doesn't a feud require two sides? Don't you get tired of this Jihad your on? Most of the stuff you post is just silly.

I know you don’t like Sarah.

I really don’t care if she runs for Pres. or not. If she got the nomination, I would have NO Trouble voting for her.

If Nitt Witt Mitt got it, it is bye bye Pubbies and hello 3rd Party. (A very Stupid action on the Pubbies Part)

This is not about the “game as usual” the chips are far too high. This is about defeating and destroying the enemy within.

If Palin fits better somewhere else, so be it. I personally like her style and I love the way she has held her own when the MSM made every attempt to destroy her. GO CUDDA!

She said she is going to run an unconventional campaign

Isn't that what Rudy Giuliani said he was doing in 2008?

Palin has people in Iowa.....but she doesn’t believe in running before running like everybody else in these constant forever campaigns not in hiring so called campaign adviser....etc. but the most striking thing that you are missing is that she is a master of retail politics and revels in door to door, coffee shop talk - that how she won against all odds in Alaska in those wilderness and outer regions

There will be time to meet and greet if say for example she jumps in around early June, she is no Fred Thompson who had a lot of support but never did the hard work and gave out no true effort; if you or anybody believes that she is such a person then you don’t know her or her ways.

“Analysis: Palin’s celeb feuds don’t lead to the W.H.”

Who said she wants that? She doesn’t. She wants publicity which equals speaking fees, book sales and maybe a TV show.

Is there any line in the story which is true? Why do you post such obvious BS here? Just to show that you are demented?

I guess the question begs was Glassner hired as chief of staff for a campaign or chief of staff for all of Palin’s activities? With as much as she seems to have on her plate I would think she needed someone to provide some symblance of organization. Past efforts indicate a need and one was hired.

People like to see a politician who draws a line in the sand and attacks when it is crossed. How much nastier can the media get after what we have seen so far.

She is more hated by the Left than Adolf Hitler.

It’s amazing that Polutico and it’s hired hand Pissant takes pretty much the LAST question out of an 12 minute interview about Libya, the budget, oil crisis, the border....etc. And make a story out of it that Sarah isn’t serious after giving serious answers to serious questions!

Yeah, but I’m sure his preferred candidate is soooo conservative no one has ever heard of him and will get less than 2% of the vote. Another Duncan Hunter or worse.

Don't confuse Carling with objectivity and logic backed up with facts.

He, she, or it, doesn't understand such concepts.

I don’t care who you are or how high up you are, you still maintain the right to defend your kids. I think the Carter’s did it, the Clinton’s did it, even the Obama’s did it. I think once even Princess Diana did it and told the press to leave her kids alone. I thought she was quite polite, could have said a whole lot worse but that would have been getting down to the libtards level. Kathy Griffin threaten and go after my 16 yr old daughter publicly, yea I’d say something too.

Politico only wants what's best for the GOP.

That's why they don't like Sarah.

As mentioned above, Politico and MSNBC are desperate to have Palin attend their debate at the Reagan Museum. Somehow, MSNBC and Politico buffaloed Nancy into holding that thing in May, and now they are trying to get Palin into the race so they can grab good ratings share.

Meantime, there is momentum to Hewitt's boycott call.

Palin will not be there. Not after the way MSNBC has treated her.

Best,

Chris
