1. She Has My Enthusiastic Support for the 2012 GOP Primaries
What a wonderful 2012 Republican nominee she would be. Is it too soon to contribute to her 2012 primary campaign?

2. She can only improve her image
When your image is rock bottom, there's nowhere to go but up.

up my opinion of the Today Show.

12. Bring it on

LMMFAO. She is a vapid, little, pathetic women...she will need an extreme makeover to do anything but appeal to the most far-reaching elements of our society.

The only people with any real interest in her are the religious carnival barkers.

I am usually a person of empathy, but I found myself showing NONE to her last night when she seriously looked like she was gonna cry standing up there on stage. I had absolutely NO empathy for her last night when she was standing there. I was rooting for her to break down...she made her bed by calling me and my fellow Americans 'not real' Americans, questioning our motives...her attacks on Senator Obama were scandalous and she is beyond NOT being qualified.

Mr. McCain put our nation at risk when he chose this women (or allowed her to be chosen). Mr. McCain deserves the swift ass kicking he got last night, in part because of Palin.

15. Sarah Palin is not smart enough to run for president let alone be president.
Edited on Wed Nov-05-08 09:07 AM by The Night Owl
Palin's only route to the Whitehouse is through the vice presidency.

16. Her brand of right-wing psychosis will look even more ridiculous in 4 years.
Once America sees the improvement from a leftward shift, we'll be off.

18. she doesnt have the character and if not there cant be adopted. stuff coming out already that was
held back. more will come. dishonesty, lack of integrity will continue with her and will see it.

let them do palin in 2012. doesnt hurt me at all.

4 yrs at 44.... only thing she has going for her is looks and she is at the very end of that at 44. she will not be able to do the same at 48. reality for females.

21. I just don't see it
The novelty has worn off and what else was there but the novelty. We'll get to see her & her family's antics in the supermarket tabloids over the years, alongside Angelina and Jen and all the other one hit wonders.

24. Yeah, let's review? How well has that (VP nominees who lost) work for those in her situation ...
Edited on Wed Nov-05-08 09:29 AM by ShortnFiery
throughout OUR HISTORY?!?

The M$M must think the American People are fucking stupid.

Have ANY of the below persons (VP selection on losing tickets) been elected to the Presidency?

1968, Edmund Muskie
1972, Sargent Shriver
1976, Bob Dole
1980, Walter Mondale
1984, Geraldine Ferraro
1988, Lloyd Bentsen
1992, Dan Quayle
1996, Jack Kemp
2004, John Edwards

Seven of the last 10 losing VP nominees subsequently ran for president, mostly in the very next round, and often with considerable impact on the race. Two of them (Mondale and Dole, although there was a gap before Dole won a nomination) subsequently won a presidential nomination.

NONE of the above (not one!) have been elected as President of the United States.

And that is a good thing.

You had your one shot Palin, now go your own "special way?"

I sincerely hope the good people of Alaska has her recalled. She has no love lost in AK or D.C. Remember that the moment after Stevens was convicted on 7 felonies, Palin called for his resignation. If Stevens is able to finagle an overturning of his convictions, he won't be looking to assist Palin.

Further, because of the corrupt previous Governor Murkowski selecting his daughter as Senator (nepotism anyone?) there must be a special election to replace Stevens if/when he is ousted by the Senate.

Don't cha love it when they eat their own? :evilgrin:

26. I missed that! Nixon was not near as purdy but he was a hell of a lot smarter than Palin.
The exception that proves the rule? HOPE! :hi:
