CNN: Sarah Palin has a new 30-second ad out. Wait, WHAT?!

[Bicoastal]

But it's true.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/11/24/pro-palin-ads-thank-you-ads-hit-the-airwaves

The Our Country Deserves Better PAC has begun running spots in Alaska — two 60-second ads, and two 30-second versions — that pay tribute to Palin, with plans to expand the ad buy to the rest of the country sometime this week.

"Governor Palin inspired millions of Americans by fighting for common sense conservative principles in a positive and uplifting manner," chief strategist Sal Russo said in a statement. "I worked with President Ronald Reagan since his first days in the California Governor’s Office, and I can tell you that I see so many similarities between President Reagan and Governor Palin."

The PAC — which sponsored the "Stop Obama Now" bus tour during the campaign season — said it plans to spend at least $50,000 airing the ads in Alaska. It has not yet released details of the ad buy on national broadcast and cable networks.

1. I think the ad is more "for" her than "by" her.

I dont think this is something she's responsible for.

But yeah, it's superlame.

[Bicoastal]

6. Yeah, but don't even pretend she had nothing to do with it...

...she's amassing power through propaganda.

[NJmaverick]

2. Stupidity and phony charm only works on willing victims

that is what the right wingers fail to realize.

[TrogL]

3. For The Love of God Why?

What does this even accomplish??

[enki23]

7. there's a republican faction that wants to keep her viable for a future run at the presidency

they want to rehabilitate her image by loudly and continuously pretending there is no need to rehabilitate her image.

[TrogL]

10. You're making my head hurt

It's still aching from the turkey killing video. How are they explaining that one away? Or the "Africa is a country" bit? Or half-a-dozen other Palanisms?

[LSparkle]

4. Some moran was on MSNBC this morning touting these "ads" ...

He said that there's "so much negativity" about Palin on the
'net (specifically citing DU, along with Kos and HuffPo) that
he just HAD to form a PAC to combat it ...

:violentretching:

[ObamaKerryDem]

21. I saw that this morning..

The asshat went on to whine that Obama had "bought the presidency", that he was a "terrorist sympathizer", you know, the usual Freeper bit. :eyes: Though it did make me laugh that he specifically cited this site and that he had obviously lurked on here. Bet we ruined his day. :evilgrin:

[eshfemme]

25. What's funny is that he probably drove more traffic to DU with his whining on the TV about us

and thus being completely counterproductive to what he's trying to do.

:evilgrin:

[high density]

5. oh goodie, the talking heads have something to talk about now

They can now play this ad endlessly instead of trying to speculate about Obama's cabinet choices.

[BOSSHOG]

8. palin is showing early stages of dementia??

Favorable comparison to reagan? I guess that means something to trash who don't give a fuck about our country. Ya know those with values.

9. Here's the other thread on this topic............

about the "moran" on MSNBC... he's got to be a freeptard.

11. You Betcha

This only reminds people why we didn't vote for her. These nut jobs can't seem to realize that only the base of the republican party will by the cramp. The rest of us will change the channel.

[LynnTheDem]

12. "common sense conservative principles" ...double-dog dare em to NAME ONE.

:rofl:

[northernsoul]

13. Great, let 'em waste their money!

In the meantime, we'll be actually doing something constructive for our country.

[anonymous171]

14. She will either be 2012 Giuliani or the GOP's Hillary

That is to say, she will either flame out spectacularly in Iowa and keep losing relevance until she finally withdraws. Or she continues campaigning even though she has no chance of winning. Either way we win! :)

[Max_powers94]

17. Shhhh don't say GOP's Hillary...DU will tar and feather you.

they did it to me

[ericgtr]

15. Think someone should tell the kill happy bitch that people don't like the idea of hunting Moose?

That she so proudly boasts about on a regular basis?

[Viking12]

16. Question: "Similarities between Reagan and Palin? Answer: What is Dementia?

[ecstatic]

18. Reagan had dementia; Palin is just plain stupid! nt

[Thrill]

19. Those people are obsessed. With a bad economy they are throwing money away with

an idiotic ad like this

[galaxy21]

20. Is the the earliest start for a presidential campaign ever?

[awoke_in_2003]

23. Yes, but not by much...

Andrew Jackson won the popular vote and had the most electoral votes, but not the majority needed. The top three candidates were taken, and the House would decide the winner. In what became known as a "Corrupt Bargain", Henry Clay gave the presidency to John Quincy Adams, becoming the Sec of State (use to mean heir apparent to presidency) in return. Jackson started campaigning immediately after, so that would have been in the January following election.

22. Norah O'Donnell this morning got a rise out of some guy who was

involved in those ads. Still smiling, he started calling opponents racist and more. Norah said, "You're really serving it up hot this Thanksgiving".

[Arkana]

24. Dear Sarah,

The election is over.

You lost.

Hate,
The Lower 48 States

[Kajsa]

26. Say WHAT?

" fighting for common sense conservative principles in a positive and uplifting manner,"

What was he watching?

Certainly not the incite to riot rallies I saw.

This is BS.

[WinkyDink]

27. Let's ask her HER plan for the economy.
