I think there is a strong thread within the MSM that wants Sarah Palin to be the Republican nominee because the MSM has done SO much character assasination on her, and will continue to do so, that her negatives will be very high outside her loyal conservative base.

In other words, the MSM has created such a mountain of slime on her that it will be too high a climb for her to get over it.

I think there are others in the MSM who are more wary of Palin and worry that she might be able to somehow penetrate through the MSM shield and connect with enough of America to be elected president, especially as Obama’s mask continues to slip.

Sarah won the Kobayashi Maru test

“A no-win situation caused by a set of rules that can only be won by changing the rules, in effect, cheating”....Sarah cheated the MSM and the libs out of the satisfactions of her being destroyed already, She changed the rules on her terms!

She believes in No-win situations!

You know Obama is in deep shit when he is beaten in polls by the likes of Romney, Huckabee and Gingrich and is even in a dead heat with Sarah Palin!

There must be a sense of panic not only in Congress but also in the White House as well.

And that panic is probably very palpable, very real and very well deserved.

“Makes you wonder if all of these folks with their fancy degrees will ever learn.”

Nope, an essential requirement to learn from past mistakes, and/or present mis-concepion is HONESTY!
Corporate Media lacks this quality by definition!
They are hucksters who exist for Corporate money/power interests first, foremost, and sadly exclusively.
Prove me wrong by example!

Yep, the best defense is a really strong offense.

I don't see that at all. In fact, I see the exact reverse happening.

The MSM have attacked Sarah Palin relentlessly, and with a fury rarely seen in American politics, ever since she was introduced to the public in the 2008 campaign. They continue to attack her for one reason, and one reason only. She represents the clearest threat to their Utopian Socialist wet dreams than any person since Ronald Reagan. In their minds, she MUST be destroyed before she ever gets close to the White House.

In the meantime, the MSM is attempting to choose the Republican nominee for 2012 by producing sympathetic puff pieces on lesser Republican threats, such as Romney, Gingrich, Pawlenty, and Huckabee. Nowhere will you find them launching the same sort of invective at these potential candidates, as they do at Palin.

She is clearly the most threatening person in the entire center-right pantheon of hopefuls, hence the non-stop fusillade from the left.

This is also a point that some on the right completely miss. By training nearly their entire arsenal upon Sarah Palin, the left has telegraphed precisely who the right should run for president. It is, of course, the person they attack the most.

You'd think that if liberals can see this, then certainly conservatives can figure it out. Unfortunately, you'd only be mostly right. Far too many on our side have not noticed the obvious yet.

That's just wrong. You're not living this on the same terms as the rest of us.

I agree.

The reason for these relentless attacks on Sarah Palin’s character and the assassination of her character by the liberals is because THEY FEAR HER THE MOST.

Palin represents everything the liberal hates in women especially conservative women, namely a brain that thinks for itself.

Totally.

The Dems (and some supposed Republicans) were rubbing their hands together in glee, just knowing that Sarah was going to continue to stand in one spot, without cover, as they literally shot her to pieces.

She showed them that American patriots still fight the way our honored forefathers did against the British. She abandoned that indefensible position, and moved to higher, better protected ground and began decimating them with shell after shell.

And now, some complain that she "quit" that suicidal position, while giving her no credit for the successful battle she's now waging.

What's that tell you about such people?

"Sarah Palin has something more than intellect. She has the ability to understand, connect with and energize her party."

At least Simon is admitting that Sarah Palin HAS intellect! That's a major accomplishment!

Thank you.

The one point that I forgot to add is the fact that the MSM and the left have erred by shooting their heaviest artillery at Sarah Palin so early in the war. By the time 2012 rolls around, they’ll have nothing but spent cartridges left.

And - not only have they already shot their best loads at her, most of them have missed. Sarah has withstood all those that have struck, and has grown even more popular and powerful since the barrage began.

I tell you, the left has completely bungled this campaign. Sarah has outflanked, outmaneuvered, and outplayed them at every turn.

Mark my words.... students of political science will carefully study this slice of history in the future.
