The left hates/fears Sarah (and us) as much as ever. No way would they EVER come to her defense unless they see some benefit to them. Given the intensity of their hatred/fear, it must be something pretty big.

They would like Romney to be the nominee, especially compared to Perry. But in a two horse race, the odds are Perry will beat Romney handily. The only way to get Romney back into the game is to split Perry’s support. If Palin enters the race, she could easily split conservatives enough to open the door to Romney.

I don’t think it will succeed. If it actually looked like the conservative vote would be split so badly that Romney would win, I think either Palin or Perry would drop out rather than give it to Romney.

Regardless, when the dust settles, I think Palin will be the last conservative standing and she will be our nominee.

BTW: Palin’s strategy of waiting seems to be paying off. A LOT of hit piece garbage on Palin has come out in the last few days, and she had to know it was coming. She’s putting all of this garbage behind her BEFORE she announces.

By waiting to declare, Palin forced them to play their hand too early. The hit pieces will blow over quickly, leaving Sarah with a much stronger start to her campaign.

Doonesbury is about as funny and insightful as what you would read on a bathroom wall.
It is one thing to unfunny, but to try so hard at it says a lot about the scumbag who writes it.

why MSM “likes” palin now (no, they don’t)
1. print a few positive things, then that is proof there is no media bias
2. media loves republican internal warfare. If Sarah gets in, there will be 3 titans battling for the nomination, they can hurt each other a lot. So say nice things about SP to weaken Perry, especially
3. Palin sells

I think she will run but you are absolutely right. When Reagan died, the media was aglow with accolades about him. While he was alive and president, not so much.

Perhaps they have some ‘dirt’ on her that they’re saving up.

They’ve already exposed their lack of credibility as far as Palin is concerned. Too late and we know they are still pimping this book and the stories to continue to slander her.

They are on record for the constant smears and attacks on Palin. Now they have shot themselves in the foot and only at this stage after all the constant barrage do they give these lame condemnations when they have ALWAYS been the one to lead this and even now it is done with a wink because they know Palin has made them the focus and they have no defense. We know they’ve NEVER gone after 0bama.

I don’t see how anyone can not understand what the media is doing right now. This is only damage control for their sorry arses because they’ve been on constant attack. They still love this book and the smears and lies against this woman while trying to claim they’ve been fair. There’s too much to show they haven’t and it will come back at them should she run because they’ve never gone after 0bama and know she would make that an issue and has made them an issue.
