Why the GOP lost? John McCain.

Could this be a new strategy? Since the media will NEVER be your friend, make them the enemy. When they say bad things about you then it can just be because the do not like you, so discard that thought.

Not sure how else we deal with MSM bias. Steele certainly is not up to the task ...

The Press HATES all republicans Sarah. It was your team mate that ruined any chance. And calling him a “maverick” 10 times a day did not help.

I’ve said it since last year: Palin needs to run against the media for the rest of her career.

As long as the “ONE” and his rubber stamp Congress doesn’t bail out the MSM I think 2010 will be an interesting time for the media.

If they don’t bail them out...what will replace them as the Liberal mouthpiece? Will we actually have a Czar of Propaganda? If they do bail them out will they just move their offices into the West Wing and finally admit who they work for?

If the Rubber Stamp Congress is told by “The One” to vote the Fairness Doctrine in will Rush, etc. move to the Bahamas and have Pirate broadcasts like they used to do in England against the BBC?

The problem “The One” faces is what will his(at one time our?) government do to shut off the Conservative message if the MSM folds, how will they do it and just how well will that work out for them?

The point I take, which she doesn’t seem to get all the way to, though this is a drive-by so it can’t be trusted, is that we have to fight Big Media if we’re ever going to win again. We have to have other ways to get our word out. Other ways to rally. The way to win is to bypass their strengths. Candidates should refuse to debate in BM set-up forums. We can’t play their game. Playing their game gets us John McCain.

WE TRIED PLAYING THEIR GAME, WE GOT JOHN MCCAIN

WE TRIED PLAYING THEIR GAME, WE GOT JOHN MCCAIN

WE TRIED PLAYING THEIR GAME, WE GOT JOHN MCCAIN.

(a little chant I just made up, to the tune of “we gave peace a chance, we got 9-1-1.”)

Those who live by the media will die by the media.

McCain showed Palin to the public as a high school flirt Barbie Doll with appropriate wardrobe and script. Some substantive speeches, such as on energy, would have been better. The media featured the wink rather than the wonk.

She seemed to place most of the blame on the press.Case proved no questions needed.

I saw a few minutes ago on HLN with anchor Rochelle - a giggly bimbo with glasses named Nicole mocked Palin. Also, it sounded like she said Palin opposed paying the medical bill of a soldier wounded in Iraq - I was not paying much attention in view of her unprofessional manner.

In order for the next GOP national office candidate to prevail they must address this about the media like she is doing.

Drive it home.

Make them defensive.

Reflecting on the campaign, Palin said there were "a variety of reasons" Republicans lost in November, namely the faltering economy, but she seemed to place most of the blame on the press.

Her perception is accurate.
