Is Sarah Palin Relevant?
CBN News' Brody File ^ | April 9, 2014 | David Brody, CBN News Chief Political Correspondent

Posted on 04/09/2014 12:59:04 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The Brody File was watching Sarah Palin’s comedy bit on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon and it made me wonder the following: Is Sarah Palin relevant? The answer is a bit complicated. Is she taking seriously as a politician by the liberal mainstream media? No. But do they still pay attention to her every move? Yes they do.

Why is that? Yes, part of it has to do with the fact that there is a certain carnival atmosphere surrounding how she goes about her business. I mean, she knows how to command an audience and entertain. But let's not forget for a moment that she still has a robust, dedicated following. I'm not just talking about her millions of followers on Facebook and Twitter. I'm talking about how in certain congressional districts in this country, her word matters. An endorsement from Sarah Palin can make a difference for a candidate in a tight race.

Also, let's be totally truthful here. As much as the mainstream media can't stand her, they listen to what she says. She has a megaphone. Liberals might call that scary but Palin has the power to help shape the political conversation in America. And that's the dirty little secret liberals would rather not here. But it's truth. So, is Sarah Palin Relevant? “You betcha.”

Does everyone forget that Ronald Reagan was on television and FDR was famous for using the radio to address the nation?

Are content-free media articles based on stupid, open-ended questions relevant?

/not slamming the poster, slamming the “journalistas”

Add this too the list of libtard navel-gazing stories that prove she is.

They are scared to death that this undeniably sexy, beautiful woman will overtake them. The Reagan analogy is very well taken. He, too, was a pretty boy, who had “no brains” - and he rebooted America. They fear she will do the same.

My only fear is that Sarah has no wish to run again...

“The Brody File was watching Sarah Palin’s comedy bit on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon and it made me wonder the following: Is Sarah Palin relevant?

Is a writer who makes judgements based upon how someone appears on a comedy show relevant?

The US media is suffering from Lame diease.

Yes, they do pay attention to her every move.

Why ..?? BECAUSE THEY’RE TERRIFIED OF HER.

All you have to do is watch who the libs/dems attack .. it’s always the person they are most afraid of .. ALA Ted Cruz.

And the media loves a circus.

David, you need to get out more. And quit referring to yourself as The Brody File. You sound like Don Imus.

Sarah Palin’s endorsement to candidates results in their poll numbers skyrocketing after.

That’s about as relevant as it gets.

“Palin endorsed T.W. Shannon for Senate this cycle in Oklahoma. Shannon told Breitbart News that Palin’s endorsement brings “more than money can buy,” and his poll numbers prove it. Shannon was trailing his opponent by 35 points and now is within single digits in a poll taken four days after Palin’s endorsement.”

Palin’s the only one out there these days I still trust.

The GOP? FoxNews? Conservative media? forget it.
