Magox Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 See above. I added what I think about Romney. He's lacking in charisma and political savvyness to be able to take it all the way. Actually, to tell you the truth, it would be tougher for him IMO to make as the GOP candidate than if he was chosen to be and become president. He just doesn't appeal to the core conservatives, specially the southern hicks, they see him as one of "them", but if he was chosen as the GOP candidate, he'd most likely be more appealing to the moderates and independents, which probably would give him at least a shot at becoming president. But like I said, I don't see him becoming the GOP's man. Oh God, did you see his speech at the Republican Convention? He showed about as much emotion as a 10 year prostitute giving a blowjob.

Passepartout Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 If she was being investigated by the feds, it would be all over the news now wouldn't it?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 If she was being investigated by the feds, it would be all over the news now wouldn't it?! It has been. The FBI has publicly stated they are not investigating her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 A page from Sarah Palin's secret diary has been discovered. No one understands me. It’s like I’m speaking some Eskimo dialect or something. Andrea Mitchell follows me all the way to Kanakanak Beach and I get a French manicure and set up this huge photo op for her, even though she spooked the salmon. Todd and me are in our cool fishing bibs. Piper’s helping out on the boat. It’s an amazing day that shows how our Creator favored my beloved Alaska, gatekeeper of the continent, and makes a great shot for all the network reporters up here to milk. This progresses me away from my image as some kind of flaky “rogue diva” and back to my image as a tough huntin’ and fishin’ gal. http://www.slate.com/id/2218602/ Well at least that bitter plagiarizing left wing kook is only pretending to lift sh_t this time. Sorry, but that catty piece screams Dowd's obvious insecurity with regards to Palin..."She's even prettier than me even in an f'ing fishing bib!!!!"

John Adams Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Oh God, did you see his speech at the Republican Convention? He showed about as much emotion as a 10 year prostitute giving a blowjob. It's a curious thing. He campaigned with more charisma than he gave that night. Romney was doing what McCain did when Bush was being nominated in 2000--showing he could be a good boy to the Republicans who he'll need in 2012...but he wasn't going to give it his all. Romney would be a more palatable choice than the folksier (but scarier) Palin and Huckabee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 This, I agree with. I just don't want it to be her. She's a scary kook who I wouldn't trust with the keys to the country. But, strategically she could still be very important to GOP over the next 3 years. Like it or not, she has a legion of fans and plays right into the right's concern that mainstream media & news are in the Dem tank. So, they'll gladly use her as a suicide bomber to rile up the masses, which should make it easier for the real GOP candidate to appear more centrist. I doubt that she recognizes that this is her true value to the party, and the danger to GOP of course is if she really takes it seriously and decides to run as an independent when someone tells her the real purpose. I still find it hilarious that despite the constant pining for a true homespun outsider candidate to come in and reform Washington, when you actually get one - Perot, Palin - you quickly recognize why it's better for the feel-good stories to stay in Hollywood scripts than in reality.

Maybe if it was a non-kook. I totally agree that Palin has value to the party if used well. That could happen. And it may pave the way for somewhat like her who isn't stupid. If Sarah Palin wasn't stupid and lazy, she could be a real force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't pine away for homespun. I pine away for a smart outsider. I could live with Ron Paul despite some of his idiosyncracies. I could live with Steve Forbes. Bloomberg. And others.

Adam Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 How can it be good if an elected officials resigns- Especially when they were put in office by actual public mandate. I don't think she will be running for President in 2012 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Thats a new one even for you. Do you drink water constantly,froth at the mouth,and try to bite your tail? Well, you see, Jim, if you weren't "intellectually lazy" like Sarah Palin you would have read the entire thread and have already known that when I typed "lazy" it wasn't the common meaning for the term. I believe she works hard and isn't a lazy person at all, she is "intellectually lazy" for not spending a lot of time trying to educate herself on the issues, and Chef and others wished to distinguish between common ignorance and not bothering to read when made her ignorant on issues.

Man you've got disclaimers for everthing. "There are several kinds of discrimination and that's not the one I meant. Oh also there are different types of lazy and that's not the one I was talking about. And by the way there are a multitude of ways a person could be lazy and I was referring to that one not this one. And we've got common ingnorance and some other ignorance, I'm not sure what they call that one but it's the one I'm talking about."

Alaska Darin Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I actually get what Pete's talking about. The apparent lack of preparation on Governor Palin's part for the campaign's most important moments was measurable. As I said earlier, the woman who has been running around the since her addition to the Republican Presidential ticket is not the same savvy person who was elected to lead the state of Alaska. Doesn't come anywhere close, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
