After her 4 Question 'Press Conference' Do You See Palin As 2012 Presidential Material?

[Blackhatjack]

There is a familiarity between Palin and Bush ... both butcher the English Language, both know little about history and geography, both are intellectually incurious, both speak and communicate little but confuse profusely.

Republicans who want to rebuild the Republican Party need to run... not walk ... away from Sarah Palin!

Maybe that is why her 'Press Conference' was 4 questions long ... before she was usher off the stage.

[tyne]

1. That gal

is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too self-absorbed to make it on the national scene....despite her "we" talk. The party will eventually shun her...then she'll turn on them.

She stays in Alaska.

[Blackhatjack]

5. After what has transpired on the VP Campaign Trail, Palin has some 'splaining to do' back home in AK

I think there are enough Alaskans looking into her nefarious dealings in Alaska that the worst has not yet been made public.

And as a bonus.... some of Palin's fellow Repubs are busy burying her political future.

[peace frog]

43. And her incoherent , indecipherable speech

makes even George W. Bush sound rational and reasonable. No small feat, that.

[denem]

2. No, I see her as The Future of The Republican Party

whether or not she is their quintessential standard bearer, or not.

[tigereye]

3. she's an embarrassment - why do the Reps allow her to talk anywhere?

she basically destroyed any chance McCain had to win. (well other than possibly his age and desire to be in Iraq for 100 years...)



My buddy who's a Reaganite said that she couldn't even stand to watch her.

And she still thinks people might want to vote for her! :rofl:

[merh]

4. Her conference was so short and filled with "we" because

her advance team (the PR group she employs) found out that the other republicans in attendance at the conference, you know those other politicians with egos and ideas, didn't like it that she was making it about her, that the press was focused on her.

How I love it, she offends the powerful that she will need if she wants to be asked to be a "leader" and on a national stage.

Bull in a china shop comes to mind with Sista Sarah. :)

[saltpoint]

6. She's an idiot. She's out of her league.

Way out of her league.

I am not seeing Huckabee and Romney et al stepping aside in a genteel pivot to permit a dessert cart like Sarah Palin to ascend to the Republican nomination.

[tigereye]

13. dessert cart - that's hilarious!

:rofl:

hi OC!

[saltpoint]

15. Hey there, you! Good morning.

We won!

I'm in deep shock. But it's a GOOD shock!


:hi:

[tigereye]

19. it's so cool! It's the new paradigm!

:bounce: :bounce: My son was stunned at how excited we were, why we were crying, the whole 9 yards!




Did you see the New Yorker cover from last week?

[saltpoint]

20. The long huge red tunnel leading to the small blue escape door? Yes!

That was a keeper.

Thank you for giving your son such a wonderful milestone memory. When he is 60 and 70 and 80 he will recall what it meant for his parents to have lived in this democracy. What a splendid present you gave to him!

[tigereye]

24. he helped me hang Obama door cards the day before the election

he was off school that day - so he helped too!



I really think folks under 30 or 40, don't know what the fuss is all about - and that's a good thing. To them this doesn't seem to be a milestone at all - simply that the new President looks like the rest of America. And that's pretty cool, too!


:hi:

[saltpoint]

26. Great. (More good parenting, actually) But tell him

thanks for all of us who voted for Obama from our deep bones.

Hard work ahead, but we've picked the right guy to lead.

[MJkcj]

7. I bet those other republican govenors want her to disappear

when she talks about how the republican party would benefit rom a woman on the ticket in 2012 i am sure they ae all thrilled to hear that. bet they cant stand her either. hahaha

[saltpoint]

10. I get the same sense. I picture them whispering to each other

about Crazy-Gluing her hotel room shut.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

11. I heard last night on MSNBC that the other Governors who have their own ambition

are going to shut any talk about 2012 at the meeting. That they already have 2010 on the agenda.'

These other Governors are going to chew her up and spit her out.

[Honeycombe8]

40. Too late! She talked about 2012 in her speech address to the group! No surprise there.nt

[Blackhatjack]

8. Shuster on MSNBC just said ... 'a very, very, very short news conf...she didn't answer any of them'

Just wonderful.

Every time Palin speaks you see two things on display ... unbridled ambition and unfathomable ignorance.

The GOP Top Dogs must be hung up on just how they are going to end this.

[cyberswede]

9. I'm tellin' ya - she is the Kato Kaelin of '08

:)

(shamelss plug to my thread on this)

[Blackhatjack]

12. I Still Say She Is The Best Thing To Happen To Democrats In A Long Time,..

People vote for candidates based on ideological reasons most of the time.

However, when an obviously unprepared candidate seeks to hold office only one heartbeat away from the Presidency, you can bet that on the mind of many Repubs who pulled the lever for Obama.

And yes there were plenty of Repubs who voted for Obama/Biden to avoid the Palin disaster....

[uponit7771]

23. +1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ecstatic]

14. How tone deaf does one have to be to bring up Joe the Plumber?!

Do they not get that Joe the Plumber = epic fail?

[nc4bo]

16. All about her and her campaign. JTP, Trig in the WH - omg.

Not ever voting "present" - she's back to stump speech.

[Blackhatjack]

17. She is the Absolute Queen of the 'Run-On Sentence'... n/t

[opihimoimoi]

18. You guys don't unnerstan, they are so hard uo for Heroes....they want her, need her, worship her

They don care if she fucks up her speeches, hell they do it too.

They don mind if she noes shit about things...they don noe shit too...

She is what dey lookin fer...let them be....

Aloha....Opi

[This One]

21. The other governors must think she's an idiot

[uponit7771]

22. NEVER!! That's why it's Palin Power 2012!!!!

[tom_paine]

25. NO NO NO! Repubics are NEVER wrong about ANYTHING! PALIN / GINGRICH 2012

It's the ONLY choice for True Conservatives!

[Blackhatjack]

29. That Pic of Palin is a KEEPER ! LOL

She might have a future in doing unintentional comedy routines.

Gingrich's time has come and gone... he wouldn't share the microphone or stage with her anyway.

[trusty elf]

38. I thought so too.

She really looks unhinged.

[LiberalFighter]

27. Presidential material for Valley Girls!!

[Javaman]

28. she's a narcissistic sociopathic loon.

she just can't get over the fact that she lost. now she's on a bit of a walter mitty type of jag. it will end soon and it won't be pretty.

[Drunken Irishman]

30. She'd be eaten alive in the GOP Primary.

[saltpoint]

36. Agree. I think her likely opponents in the GOP primary will have

Caribou Barbie in the crosshairs.

[Mike Daniels]

41. If the rumours are true that it was Romney's crew dissing the dirt on Palin....

You know that Romney is already further digging into every corner of her background. I just don't see Romney laying down for the "savior" of the Republican party, much less one who's a total idiot.

[saltpoint]

42. Yes. Willard's ego is at least as over-sized as Palin's.

I heard the same rumors on Air America, I think on Tom Hartmann's program.

[No Elephants]

31. Palin is like Bush in many ways. According to the October Rolling Stone article, so is McCain, but

in other ways. Together, they were all the bad qualities of Bush, plus each of them contributed his or her own unique bad qualities. I am glad that, this time, the country turned away from the frat boy/prom queen and to the adults. I would like to think America has learned its lesson, but I think it's only temporary. It will again one day choose the one it would prefer to have a beer--and burp--with over the smartest people in the room. But, thank God, not this time.

[Liberal_in_LA]

32. Nope.

[mollymongold]

34. I want her to run and get crushed in a electoral landslide so conservatives can finally see

that their ideas are not what America wants, since now theyre blaming McCain's loss on him being too moderate...

[AgadorSparticus]

35. I'm a little cynical, but after shrub, I am convinced they can put ANYONE up there in the oval offic

...office. She's no smarter than shrub. She just didn't have the protection from the media that shrub had. Hence, the faux pas. The powers that be have all the pieces in place to do whatever the hell they want. If they want Palin in 2012, then I guarantee you that the media will be in overdrive convincing everyone what a brilliant politician she is...and next thing you know polls are going to come out and say it is a VERY close race, etc. and then they will do their black box magic. Presto! President Palin.

But do I think that will happen? No. They are leaving the country in such a fractured state that it will take atleast 2 or 3 terms to get this country off the economic ventilator. I think my president will have job security for hte next 8 yrs. I'm not in the least bit worried.

[lamp_shade]

37. No. She's toast. n/t

[Honeycombe8]

39. As KO says, she is a SHE-BUSH. And she is. She is Bush in a dress.

"Devil in a Blue Dress"?
