You need to remember in November 2010 most of those things mentioned on your list were present and the Democrats still held the Senate.
You need to remember that the Dems got shellacked in Nov 2010, it was a bigger loss than 1994! And they were defeated because of the tea party and the ineptness of Obama, we may have even won the Senate if it wasn’t for RINOs dumping on Chrisitne O’Donell and refusing to fund her race. They got their asses handed to them, man the glass will always be half empty for you huh?
Gargy you even have the weiner narcissistic quality, wow!
The experience of Meg Whitman last year is solid evidence of that. She spent well over 150 million in her campaign and fell short by over a million votes. What beat her? As a worker in the local GOP office, I fielded calls from people concerned with the "fact" that she abused her housekeeper, who turned out to be an illegal alien and had lied to get her job. Pure fabrication by the MSM, but enough to turn the tables against Whitman. She also lacked possibly the most important aspect of campaigning in a hostile environment....grassroots support.
What Sarah Palin has developed over the past three years, money cannot buy. Each dedicated grassroots volunteer is worth at least $10,000, and she has at least a million. One volunteer knocking on doors and talking to their neighbors is more effective than a thousand pieces of junk mail, a hundred TV commercials, etc.
As far as campaign funds are concerned, there is little doubt that the incoming flow, once she announces, will top everyone's (Including Sarah's) expectations.
I fully agree that she has done everything right so far, and all Soros' and the Unions money cannot put Humpty Dumpty together again. Sarah, even if she chooses to not run, has already won, but I believe she will.
As for me, I tithe at my church. It may be a struggle, but should be able to donate another 10% to save my country!
“Sorry to have to disagree but she will not win.”
Over my dead and exhausted body. I want her to get the nomination so badly I can taste it. We need to get articles like these and facts about her accomplishments in the faces of every American, male and/or female. She can handle the slimes in the “media”. Then, each and every one of us needs to do what Hussein told his “lemmings” to do - get in their faces - this time politely and factually - but persistently. Reagan has been reincarnated - BELIEVE IT!!!!!!
Or as the old Chief told the young warrior who wanted his position,
Today is a good day to die,
For young dumb warriors.
Or could it be that O’Donnell, Angle, Miller, just were not that great of candidates? If I recall correctly, they kind of deserve some of the blame. Like the “I am not a witch” commercial, or Angle’s “I don’t know that all of you are Latino. Some of you look a little more Asian to me” to a bunch of kids, or Miller using his private bodyguards to arrest a supporter. These were just stupid mistakes. As far as my glass it always overflows, I am a Jerseygirl.
Love that man, gave him my first vote and will never forget it. Totally disagree with you about the comparison. Today is much different then the Reagan years. You have a constant media feed through technology. A public more influenced by the media. A dumbing down America, explains how Obama won. A more entitled mentality population. Kind of comparing the 40’s to the 70’s (influence of the television). Different times, different results. Obama may be losing some points in polling in those mentioned states but he still beats Palin.
Listen to the n00b! Thanks for setting all us old-timers straight.
>But unfortunately we have a lot of stupid people in this Country, that is how he got to be President in the first place.
Yeah, but maybe some of them are realizing what a mistake they made.
>In order for the GOP candidate to win they are going to have to carry Independents and the woman vote and Mrs. Palin can not carry either one of those groups.
I don’t know about that. Anything is possible.
>She will have to carry important states like PA, FL and OH, don’t think she can turn the page back and reintroduce herself to those that don’t like her.
Maybe she can, if she works at it.
>The only one who could do this is a Trump, Giuliani or Christie type more in the middle of the road. They won’t seem as too extreme or threatening.
And yet McCain was probably the epitome of the moderate Republican, and he lost. Those people who see Palin as “extreme” or “threatening” probably get all their info from the CLAMs-Corrupt Liberal American Media. If they were to take a look at Palin’s actual record, they might find out differently.
>You need to remember in November 2010 most of those things mentioned on your list were present and the Democrats still held the Senate.
We won the House. We could have won the Senate too, if things were different.
>When times get bad and more and more Americans turn to the Government for help and there is less chance that they will vote the incumbents out.
On the other hand, people who are frustrated with the economy might well vote the bums out.
>Sorry to have to disagree but she will not win.
Not necessarily. Anything’s possible.
>She is a threat to many women, sadly, and will not get their important vote
Hell of a time for women to be catty. :-) Still, she might carry at least some women. Also, some of Hussein’s supporters might well be so disillusioned with him that they stay home no matter what.
>Saying that however, she is still the most powerful woman in the world. Every thing she says and does gets the world’s attention like no other person.
True that.
>Ms. Palin does not need to be POTUS to be powerful. Her messages will be heard much louder from her current podium.
So you think that she would better serve the conservative cause as spokeswoman?
The Senate was lost in Delaware. O'Donnell, with the enthusiastic backing of the mainstream GOP, would have won a close race. The polls in DE closed hours before any other state, and the immediate declaration of her loss discouraged a lot of GOP voters elsewhere, such as WV, CO, NV and WA, and perhaps a couple others, not to mention more than a few house races and state offices.
Thanks to Tokyo Rove and the Johnny come lately RINO mainstream, they probably handed the social...er... Democrats the majority in the Senate, and likely a veto-proof majority in the House.
All your base are belong to us.....
Sore Loserman....
nOObs have opinions just as valid as anyone else. Everyone is a FReeper until proven a troll!
You know Palin is making a progress when...
1. MSM and RNC elites pimping Romney as the “Establishment, it’s my turn” candidate. Out come the polls showing his as the dominate candidate.
2. MSM and others building up Bachmann as the anti-Palin vote.
3. A new poll showing 45% of GOP doesn’t want Palin to run (she would hurt the party).
Yadda, yadda, yadda
Thanks for the ping!
Excellent post.
Good points, but I want to add that I think Americans want to be free and want to live in a vibrant economy. Think of the millions that are unemployed or underemployed do you think they’re happy with the current state of the economy? I would have to say no, Americans want jobs and prosperity and I don’t think that we are at the point where the majority of Americans want the government to provide for them. jmo.
I’m glad you noticed too, putting this one on my “do not trust” list.
Jerseyrocks got the zot, so there’s no need to watch out for him anymore.
