I like Palin...could someone explain to me how she could overcome
1) the negatives she has with independents
2) the MSM just making a carcicature of her and her campaign—it wouldn’t be about her abilities or the issues..it would be a non stop “tina Fey” type media blitz.
3) it would rally the Dem base like nothing else.

I just can’t see past this stuff...I see strong conservatives rallying to her, but beyond that, it is just hard for me to see her get past those issues above.

They did all those things, and thought all those things, about Reagan. He clobbered them just the same.

The independents came to him, the left rally fizzled, and it was a landslide.

I believe Sarah has the ability to do the same.

How to overcome:

“2) the MSM just making a carcicature of her and her campaign—it wouldn’t be about her abilities or the issues..it would be a non stop “tina Fey” type media blitz.”

Kidnap Tina fey and hold her hostage in a cave in Montana until after Inauguration Day, 2013.

She has an uncanny ability to sell herself with the things she says... and she doesn’t need any stupid teleprompter to do it with, either. Frankly, a ham sandwich would beat Obama in 2016 if it were the Republican nominee — there’s no direction for his opposition to go but up.

I’m more concerned about the fact Sarah has not (to my knowledge anyway) explained her approval of artificial birth control, as to if she is referring to the birth control pill or condoms or whatever. Because the bc pill is an abortifacient, and you can’t run a pro-life campaign if you’re also pro-birth control pill. If she came out against artificial birth control, and if she went back to her baptismal faith, I’d jump through hoops of fire for her, but as it stands, she’s not solid enough of a pro-lifer for me, thus not holy enough to topple Obama and his dark administration. It was the birth control pill that started all this horrible mess we’re in today with countless dead babies daily, and severely wounded mothers.

She can do it. How she overcomes all that above is by constant use of the word "nevertheless," like it is used in good parenting, and followed by: "This is not about my accent, or schooling, or your perception of my intelligence. This is only about bringing Constitutional Freedoms back to the American people. Whatever else you may think of me personally, I will fight to my last breath to have EVERY American, regardless of what groups he can be categorized into, benefit from the goodness and freedoms that are his right as an American citizen!"

Yes, Sarah, I am available as a junior speechwriter...

Nothing is good or bad except by comparison. By 2012, compared to Obama.. Palin may look very good to independents.

I just can’t see past this stuff...

That would seem to sum it up.

Perhaps the media will find a repub candidate they like...like McCain...or Romney.

You could support them.
