Palin Says Brokered Convention Would Not Hurt G.O.P.
By JEFF ZELENY

Sarah Palin said Saturday that Republicans should be in no hurry to wrap up the presidential nominating contest, declaring that a competitive campaign until the August convention in Tampa would not complicate the party’s efforts to defeat President Obama.

“People who start screaming that a brokered convention is the worst thing that could happen to the G.O.P., they have an agenda,” Ms. Palin said in an interview. “They have their own personal or political reasons, their own candidate who they would like to see protected away from a brokered convention.”

She added: “That’s part of competition, part of the process and it may happen.”

Ms. Palin, who arrived here to deliver a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference, said that she was enjoying watching the newly-competitive Republican presidential primary. She said the campaign has made Mitt Romney and his rivals stronger candidates.

I caught this on one of the weekend shows and found it very interesting.

1. "Hint, hint," she added while winking and pointing to herself...

[yellowcanine]

8. Yes. She got to be VP candidate without so much as lifting a pinky so why not?

With Sarah it is all about her.

[IggleDoer]

2. Encouraging competition

even though she's competition-adverse.

[Cowboy8541]

3. This is a woman

who is desperately trying to stay relevant. She's just a pathetic loser who has no idea what she's talking about, and it amazes me that anyone takes her seriously.

[FSogol]

5. Exactly, she wants to be President, but is too lazy to hire staff and campaign.

She wants it handed to her.

9. +1000

I think her popularity is about as low as the dirt on the ground with just a few die hard supporters. She has always talked nonsense and this is just more of the same.

I doubt she even knows what a brokered convention is.

16. I think you would be surprised

at how many followers she still is.
You shouldn't underestimate the stupidity levels of the average GOP voter.

Even though she has demonstrated on multiple occasions just how ignorant and stupid, she herself is. A fair number of Gopbots still follow.

[Jackpine Radical]

4. Go out on your front porch Sarah.

Look, it's the Moon!

[davidpdx]

13. She'd howl at it

And her creepy husband would get turned on by it.

[WI_DEM]

6. She's hoping lightning will strike and she'll be the compromise nominee.

[JustAnotherGen]

7. I cannot believe

This dumb ass doofus continues to speak. Go away already!

[Scuba]

10. Any statement that begins with "Palin says" will either be a lie, wrong, or both.

11. The day Palin gets the nod from a brokered convention

Would be the day Obama should announce that he will not campaign at all, and disburse all campaign funds to regional charities. He should simply say: "You have a choice." End of story. And not run a single ad or make a single campaign appearance.

And he'd win in a landslide.

[bowens43]

12. I'm alays amazed when I see

that there are people who consider this dingbat's opinion worth hearing.

The cons are constantly trying to out stupid each other.

[Ian62]

15. And that's a tough ask :-

thinking up something even more stupid to say.
But they are still doing it. lol

Moonbase anyone?

[Ian62]

14. Is she enjoying

the GOP candidates kicking the sh*t out of each other in attack ads as well?
I am

There is gonna be some SERIOUS horse trading done in smoke filled rooms in the period leading up to Tampa in August.
It would be better for Obama if one candidate does not have a significant lead.
Then it might get a bit messy for GOP (sic)

[Major Hogwash]

17. I hold your dream next to my heart every day and night, Sister Sarah.

Let the eagle soar
Like it has never soared before
Sarah, put out some more hot air
And then change the style of your hair

Oh, be still, my little rabbit beating heart.
200 beats a minute is too fast for me this early in the year.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

18. the wicked witch of the north cometh!

[Lil Missy]

19. That woman is an idiot. n/t

[TheDonkey]

20. It would allow her to get into the mix.

[Craigtee3030]

21. Translation...

A brokered convention..."Even IF I knew what that MEANT...wouldn't be bad for ME...CUZ...people would...ya know...still part me ta like, say shit...and stuff".
