In my *opinion* she is not electable. The media has already "imprinted" on the great unwashed that she is a shrill, trailer-trash extremist and her family has not helped in this regard. Delving further into the pshyche of the masses, she does not have "command presence", then again they did elect the marxist so anything is possible. Now if life was fair and she was judged on her views, absolutely she could win, but as a whole package I'm not seeing it.
Life is not Fair. �Fair� is where you go to ride on rides-eat cotton candy-and step in monkey poop.
Much of what you say about the great unwashed is true-but Sarah has made tremendous progress in the past year. Just wait until next year-you ain�t see nothing yet. So far she has made all the right moves-zilch wrong ones.
What has her family done to hurt her? Dancing With the Stars plays to the great unwashed. They ain�t gonna watch the Palins on FOX NEWS-so you have to go to the other Fox channel. And I am betting that �Sarah Palin's Alaska� which starts five days after the election will really impress a lot of folks. Record ratings. I say this because everything she does always turns out Bigger and Better. Like all the elections she has been part of.
Uncle Karl-Good Norwegian that he is-couldn�t be more wrong. Palin�s Plan is right out of the Reagan Playbook. You know-that Cowboy who hosted all those TV specials and did all those grade B movies. And pulled off two Landslide National Elections.
I think you missed my point slightly, neither her nor her family have done anything egregious, but that does not matter to the media. The posts like djs are a clear indication of the angle they will pursue politically; "she's to far to the right to appeal to the mainstream" which is of course HORSESHIT. She's about as "Regular American values" as it gets and I certainly would vote for her. But the media will take her personal family life for starters and turn it into a Jerry Springer circus that the great unwashed will buy into. Think of it this way; why ON EARTH would anybody ever vote democrap much less for a marxist with zero experience unless they were A. True socialists and marxists who want cradle-to-grave government handouts B. Idiots duped by a media who purposely hid obama's associations with known communists, marxists and left wing wackos
There are no other choices. You voted democrap and you are either a closet socialist or a moron and the Media will convince them that Palin is a right-wing unsophisticated hayseed that couldn't possibly be president.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
What the GOP wants for pres, is a black male who's heterosexual, pro-gun but won't brag about that fact, diverse but will still scratch your eyes out, a great speaker, has smoked a little pot, and a good dresser. Oh, and the media will ok em.
You mean this guy?
maybe
but I was thinking more this guy
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
btw guys well worth the listen, AW doesn't speak until the end, but what he says folks need to hear imo

Remember Alan Keyes? Black, heterosexual, conservative, Republican, former diplomat, pro-gun, etc.
He has run for the Republican nomination and not been a contender.
I honestly do not know but she probably stands a better chance than the "Old Boys Club" of probable Republican candidates.
For Romney it's over, probably for Huckabee as well. I don't think Gingrich would do very well either. I was listening to Killmee (sp?) and Friends on Fox radio this morning and they think she is probably the best bet but probably can't beat him either.
I think whether she gets and accepts the nomination and bests Obama will all depend on tomorrow and what the Republicans do in Congress in the next two years. If the "Old Boys Club" of the Republican Party retains leadership of Congress and compromises with Obama on everything to advance Obama's agenda than it's all over for the Republicans.
What do you all think?
We need a candidate who actually understands the problems facing our nation, particularly someone who understands the central role played by the Federal Reserve and the international banking cartel in causing those problems. Short of that, we're screwed.

I do not disagree with you about what Sarah will be up against. More of the same.
My point is that Sarah is doing quite well against the LS Media. Every time they dismiss Palin-she gains points. Their old crap ain�t working like the good old days in 2008. And even then-dumped into her first National contest-she gained ground.
Palin made the point the other day-that every race she has every been in-she was the underdog and badly underestimated.
As I posted before-let her go for it. Let her prove up. Sarah has a pretty good record of doing just that.
I see no reason that the Little OL� Hockey Mom from Wasilla should step outa the Ring and forfeit the fight with the record she has.

“In Trump We Trust.” Right????
SOMEBODY please tell TRH that Netanyahu NEVER said "Once we squeeze all we can out of the United States, it can dry up and blow away."
If you want to know what Sarah is going to do, just re-read this thread. It's almost equally split here as to whether she'll run or not. In other words, half the people who've expressed an opinion are correct, we just don't know which half yet.
For that reason alone I hope she does not run. This next presidential election is too important for us to put up such a polarizing individual as Sarah against Obammy and his ballot box stuffers. There are a LOT of Republicans out there that will not vote for her. We need someone who will get the majority of the Republican vote plus a large portion of the independent vote and most importantly, the dissatisfied democrat vote. Sarah is not that person. I like her and I voted for her in the Governor's race but I'd rather she remain the Conservative pundit she is. It's a perfect fit for her right now.
That's the key right there.
As much as I like her, she doesn't fit the bill at this point in time.
The GOP needs a "new face". The problem with McCain, Dole, ect is that the are old, look old, talk old.....
What about John Thune or someone like him?
ddj
I think Thune would be an excellent choice. He comes off as smart, reasonable, and in no way objectionable. I was very impressed with his talking head stints during the Florida recounts.
He is exactly the kind of non-polarizing candidate the GOP needs to send Obammy back to Chi-town or Kenya or wherever. It also seems he's a pretty good conservative that comes across more as a moderate, which should help as well.

Alan Keyes understood and he couldn't get nominated so we are screwed.

Probably not; but it depends on what happens with the economy in the next two years. Sad to say, but a lot of voter "outrage" will vanish if things turn around.

couldn't have said it better, excellent post
I see the flip side. The members of this site are overwhelmingly convservative as compared to the rest of the nation. If 50% of the "base" doesn't think she is a viable candidate - then she isn't a viable candidate.

AGAINST Obama or Clinton ALL the Republicans will vote for her even if their own choice didn�t make the cut.

YOU mean like the Tea Party? They are the ones that now own the groups you named. Who is the closest thing to a Leader the Tea Party has?

YEAH BUT, the point is that Sarah will out grow/has out grown her present role. I repeat-Sarah has earned the right to compete-more so that any other names I see posted here.
