Let's pretend we're "scared" of Sarah Palin in 2012.

[PresidentObama]

We all know Obama do an incredible thing with the head fake in Pennsylvania, getting the Governor of the state to say he was "nervous" about thate state. Truth is, Obama knew this would get his supporters pumped up and into overdrive so he wouldn't have to pour any extra time or money into the state--his volunteers would take care of it. And it forced McCain to pump incredible amounts of money into the state, with him and Palin spending valuable campaign time in a state that they couldn't tell was all but a lost cause for them.

He tricked them. And it worked.

Let's trick them again. Tell all your Republican friends that you're afraid of Sarah Palin being the nominee in 2012.

Let's pretend we don't think we can beat her.

You know why? We can. We'll crush her.

And then when the Republicans flock to her because they think we're "scared" of her, I urge all DUers to vote for her if your state has open primaries, and let's set up an easy victory for President Obama in 2012!

1. I do like the way you think!!

[Wickerman]

2. Much as we have 4 years to define Palin

The Rethuglican has 4 years to work their fucked up brand of magic defining her to their image. We will see a much more polished Palin in 2011.

We shouldn't be scared of her, but save the links, the articles, the videos. She'll get a big makeover in the coming months.

[PresidentObama]

3. You can only polish shit so much n/t

6. Palin is trapped into a high floor low ceiling

She will find entry into the primaries very enticing because she will start with 38% of the Republican vote. After strenuous campaigning she will peak at 41%. 38% looks high when there are 5 candidates 41% looks low when you have 2.

13. She's stuck between floors on the elevator.

Oh, but your analogy is good, too! :silly:

4. DON'T throw me in that old Briar Patch, Br'er Fox!

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

5. the republicans i had dinner with last night think Palin is a joke.

they're more afraid of her then the gop claims we are.

[PresidentObama]

8. The Republicans I know in SWMO LOVE her, and they'll be the Republicans that take over the party.

The NRA ultra conservative bible thumpers.

....Please they think she's hot.

[AlCzervik]

9. well i take a cue from the ones i know, all of them said she is overwhelming unqualified

for her current office and any national office.

[PresidentObama]

14. We'll see, but don't count her out till she's done--she's in the race for 2012 and I'm glad n/t

[AlCzervik]

15. i'm not thinking about Palin or 2012 right now and i'll leave her to the gop, she's

their cross to bear, not ours.

[PresidentObama]

17. Good for you, if you aren't thinking about Palin or 2012--then why are posting in this thread?

Just saying.

[AlCzervik]

19. i'll post where i want thank you.

[PresidentObama]

24. Well then I suggest that you don't lie when you say you're not worried about 2012 or Palin, because

you're posting in a thread about Palin and 2012.

[AlCzervik]

25. excuse me but you posted this thread and i responded, don't tell me what i'm concerned

with thank you.

7. Let's fix our voting system and reinstate the Fairness Doctrine.

Then Palin won't have a chance at strolling in to any government office.

[saltpoint]

10. The hardcore operatives in the GOP , IMO, are not going to

let a flirtatious moron like Sarah Palin anywhere near the party's 2012 nomination.

But I like the headfake idea.

[AlCzervik]

11. agreed.

[PresidentObama]

16. You obviously don't know the hardcore conservatives, they LOVE her.

And you really think they wouldn't let another unqualified moron get the nomination again?

Ask George W. about that.

[AlCzervik]

18. based on your circle? Plenty of us here know hard core rwingers.

[PresidentObama]

21. Not based on my circle, go search around the net--they love her.

[saltpoint]

20. Those operatives got whomped this cycle, and whomped good.

The woman is a complete idiot.

If Obama's 1st term is successful, no GOP challenge will defeat his re-election.

As I've posted elsewhere, I think Romney and Palin are in the hunt for the GOP nomination no matter what, owing to their ambition and self-importance.

But I don't think that translates to wide support in Palin's case among the Puke power elite.

[AlCzervik]

22. Romney for sure.

[saltpoint]

27. Yep. Ol' Willard wants it so bad he can taste it.

[Nathancummings]

23. Palin would be suicide for Republicans

She\\\'s the reason why many right-wing newspaper columnists supported the Democrats. They hate her, independents hate her, everyone hates her.

[PresidentObama]

26. Republicans don't hate her. Does DU pay ANY attention to the Republicans?!

[workinclasszero]

29. Repigs Are So Blind

They really think Mooselini is their savior! I really hope she runs in 2012. It will be a massive landslide for President Obama and the dems.

[Berry Cool]

30. I don't know, it didn't work for the Repigs. They didn't get Hillary like they wanted. n/t
