At this point in time, the main stream media has gone apoplectic. Why? Because just when they thought theyd finally done enough dirty work to stop Sarah Palins momentum in its tracks, she popped up at a Memorial Weekend biker rally looking more confident than ever, more beautiful than anyone the left has to offer, and even more beloved by the people than when we last saw her. In every picture from the rally participants were pressing toward her, asking the same question over and over: Are you going to run for President?
And to make matters worse for the media, Palin left the motorcycle rally to embark on a bus tour of historical American landmarks in the northeast without giving CBS, NBC, ABC, or CNN any kind of itinerary whatsoever. Now theyre literally chasing her bus down interstate after interstate and highway after highway trying to guess her next stop. Theyre crying about how shes not playing by the rules because shes not kowtowing to Chris Matthews, Andrea Mitchell, and Keith Olbermann (My bad, I forgot Olbermann doesnt have a real show any more.)
This just doesnt compute in their liberal brains. How could someone theyve so staunchly opposed ever have a chance of holding favor with the American people?
Sadly, even conservative intellectuals like George Will spent Memorial Weekend trying to kick Palin out of the picture. In a Sunday morning appearance on ABC, Will said, in effect, turn away folks, theres nothing to see here, Palin isnt fit for the presidency. (By the way, hes said worse in the past. Like in February 2010, when he said: [Palin] is not going to be president and will not be the Republican nominee unless the party wants to lose [big].)
Although I hate to be the one to break it to Mr. Will, hes missed the point completely.
While hes offering commentary to snooty viewers on a Sunday morning show few care about, Palin is mixing with the people in a way that assures them she is one of them. She is meeting Americans where they are, hoping to energize [them concerning] our nation’s founding principles, in order to promote the Fundamental Restoration of America.”
(By the way, did you notice she didnt bring a teleprompter to the motorcycle rally? Instead, she brought her family, her love of country, and that big tour bus CNN is feverishly chasing even as I type.)
My goal in all this is to point out how wrong the media is when it comes to Palin. Just when they think theyve got her on the run, it turns out theyre running behind her trying to catch up. And even as intellectuals (on either side of the aisle) right Palin off as unfit for the presidency, the people rally around her, hang on her words, and hope shell say shes running.
Until then, the question that will be asked again and again is, Can Sarah Palin really defeat Barack Obama?
The answer to that is a straightforward you betcha.

Sarah Palin is the exact opposite of Baracka Hussein Obama. It’s Bizzaro World.

I don’t know whether she’ll be my top choice candidate, when everything shakes out, but just knowing she’s out there makes me happy about life.

That misses the point. Beating Obama should be easy. The economy is a wreck. His foreign policy has the world coming apart like a moose sucked into a jet engine. Inflation is going up. The nation is on the verge of default. Without the press covering for him he should be an easy target.
Palin can beat the press, she has shown it again and again. Romney can't. He is a puppet of the press and the minute they turn on him he will be as dead as McCain was. So for the GOP the choice is between someone who can drive her bus around the ultra liberal MSM, or Roadkill Romney.

Get her an amplifier with some pitch control so she can have that pelosi/reid-like voice and then throw in some obama reverb and it’s all over imo.

I love that Sarah Palin is finally the first person to utilize the old Reagan rule on dealing with the media “When the media gives you an unfair shake, bypass them and go directly to the people”. I am really impressed with how she’s managed to get under their skin. It to the point of where I hope she runs just to pi$$ these people off even more. My God, if she won, we’d probably be reading about Keith Olbermann hanging himself in his closet (well that will happen regardless).

I like it. Perhaps Sarah should break with history and name her running mate early on in the process. I really like West and think this duo would be great for America.

Just picked this up from the pic...look how she shakes his hand. That’s a good grip.

And the elites CAN’T STAND THAT! “How DARE the rabble follow someone we haven’t ‘vetted’?”
Sarah is one of the classiest people I’ve ever seen - she can thumb her nose at these folks without being rude. I’m all warm and squishy just thinkin’ about it...
