Please, by 2012 Palin will have long since lost her gubernatorial re-election and be hosting a talk show called "You Betcha" on the newly-launched network bringing together the Lifetime and Outdoor Life audience, "Airin' It Out"

Palin is amazing. She's done for women what men have been trying to do for decades.

Palin has 35% voter choice? That is absolutely incredible to me. What a stupid population we have.

For as much as my grandmother was "nauseated" by the idea of Obama winning (her words, not mine), she simply couldn't vote for the GOP ticket because of Palin. Gram may be a nasty old racist, but she knows STUPID when she sees it.

Palin will not get the nomination.
Of course the GOP threw all support behind her during the 2008 election. They hinted at her running for president in 2012 - they had to make her look presidential and make it look like they think she can do the job.
Palin may make a run of it in 2010 or whenever the election process starts but will be crushed unless the GOP likes stupid

 
SVX [TotalFark] 2009-03-18 12:37:22 PM  
Everybody remember how Quayle said he was going to give the old college try at running in '96 after Papa Bush lost in '92? That worked out...how? Oh, you don't really remember him even running, huh? Exactly. Palin is Quayle with tits, and her "run", if she does so, will be just as effective.

/Palin also has a spectacularly large breasted daughter, but I digress...

Before Palin: "I'm not voting for that N*!"

Well let's see, let's have a poll between the newly elected President who despite falling Poll Numbers, is still in the midst of his honeymoon, with the VP Candidate of the losing party who's still tarred with the media slime job the Dem's tossed onto her durring the election; and we'll call it fair and somewhat illuminating.

Are you guys really this stupid or desperate to look good?

Obama will make it necessary for anyone but him to win the next presidential election...if Democracy survives that long.

Yeah, but Obama's teleprompter is only up 13% over Palin's teleprompter.

 
Chindit [TotalFark] 2009-03-18 12:49:42 PM  
I find your false bravado a tad hollow. Nervous are we? As previously posted, lets start running polls pitting the newly elected President against your biggest bogeyman.

Next week, Obama 65%, Limbaugh/ Beck 30%. Reason to celebrate!!

Did you see where Obama was reading his teleprompter and started speaking about himself in the third person?

"I'd like to thank President Obama..."

Can you imagine... I mean, take a minute to think about this. Can you imagine what the country world would look like at this moment in time if McCain had won the election.

And died.

CanisNoir: who's still tarred with the media slime job the Dem's tossed onto her durring the election;

I know. I think it was absolutly shameful how they expected her to have "plans" and "ideas" about what she would do if elected, and then they dared to ask her for "facts" and tested her "knowledge". If they had simply stuck to asking her for moose stew recipes and unusual baby names, they people would have seen the real Sarah.

I agree. She may be more politically savvy than most of us realize, but I don't think she'll be able to coordinate a national campaign well enough to make it through the primaries. She may be nominated as the VP candidate again if the party still feels they need her to be a prominent symbol of their values, but I don't see her being able to defeat the more experienced and, frankly, smarter candidates who will stop at nothing to win the top spot.

I'm curious to see if Obama takes his teleprompter on the Leno show tomorrow.

She has shown most spectacularly that shiat sticks to her. She is unable to shake off even the most ridiculous of personal attacks (fake pregnancy), not to mention legit political ones.

There's no way. None.

Please, God, there's no way. Right? Right?

Meh, Palin will take him with some late three-pointers, though. Because she's white, and that's how we roll.

All this time I thought you were black. Am I nuts?

This is a dumb poll. Anyone with at least two brain cells to rub together and an internet connection knows Palin is done. Those with only one lonely brain cell might think the media slimed Palin by asking her such tough questions as, "What newspapers do you read?" and "In your words, what does the VP do?"

The first sentence of your post seems to be contradicted by the final clause of the final sentence.

Hobart's Funnies. Tanks designed spcifically for the English invasion on D-Day.

See, while the US was attacking the heavily fortified defenses and Omaha and Utah, the English had a much smaller resistance to fight against. While Americans took heavy casualties, the British attacked with bagpipes and flutes, made tea in the trenches, and had a ton of fanfare.

Along with the fanfare were hobart's funnies. Tanks made specifically for D-Day. They could drive underwater, so they'd emerge from the ocean like sea monters. Some had flamethrowers that shot jets of flame 300 ft, others had 60ft bridges they could deploy over tank traps, others had spinning chain's and serpent-like appendages to take out minefields.

It's a pretty funny attack to think about, something you'd almost expect from a fantasy movie.

Thankfully he didn't but I can see the headline already:

my guess is she'll get the most press coverage by far, but she'll sink as soon as voters head to the primary polls. I don't think even the biggest foot-in-the-mouth comment could cause her to withdraw beforehand though.

"By 2012, Change. Hope. Progress will be Change. Hope. Cliché.
The government that governs least is the best will look very, very good under the weight of 4 consecutive years of trillion-dollar deficits."

They'll attack her early, and often.

They'll try do distract from the spending...Look! over there, Glenn Beck is unching a nun....
