A few conservative writers have mildly condemned her but she really needs to be told she is just plain stupid. Thankfully her approval ratings are sliding. I just hope she doesn't get the Rep nomination in 2012 or the Republican party is finished. I think she makes Dan Quayle sound like Einstein. I support Ron Paul - Mitt Romney for president in 2012.
    I agree. I am beyond tiered of Sarah Palin ramming her mouth every second. I prefer well-educated and intelligent women in power to speak, and she is definitely not in that category. I just hope people really do not support her if she does decide to run for president in the future... bad choice

    Don't worry about her she will soon be on the scrap heap of history along with all those who tried and failed, they don't often get a second chance

    Ramming her mouth every second? Do you somehow have her confused with the Bloviator-in-chief?

    Hello again,

    I repeat. If the Dems don't get the public option in health care, Sarah Palin will WIN the presidency in 2012.

    Then we'll really be able to keep our eyes on Russia.

    I really don't think that Obamacare is going to be the deciding factor on Palin. There's a whole lot of other stuff that affects Palin's presidential ambissions.

    I know that Palin is unpopular and that you would like to link her unpopularity with Obamacare in order to boost Obamacare's popularity. But frankly, that tactic isn't working for the DNC, and I don't think it's going to work for you either.

    This attack on Palin is pure Alinskyesque . They have successfully used that ploy with the compliant press to demean Conservative for at least the last 30 years. Reagan , Quayle ,President Bush and now Palin have all been smeared with the too stupid label .

    Tom,
    I have revised my view - Sarah Palin represents the best that the Republicans have to offer. Go Sarah!

    Yeah, I know it's Beaker. But NK hates it when I call it the Swedish Chef.

    And obviously, Obama is the best the Democrats have to offer.

    GO SARAH!

    Nah, call it what you like. I know you like baiting people into anger. Life's too short plus I got happy kids to deal with. :)

    Meep-meep!

    That is true. Personally, I think the best way to help clear the air is to avoid the media at any cost until the media pretty much forgets about you and targets someone else. That's what I would have done any way..

    I don't think it's going to be any time soon, she's reportedly already received over 1070 invitations. The first one she has accepted is in Hong Kong to address the CLSA Investors Forum.

    Quote:
    "Our keynote speakers are notable luminaries who often address topics that go beyond traditional finance such as geopolitics," company spokeswoman Simone Wheeler said in a statement.

    "We just felt it would be a fabulous opportunity for CLSA clients to hear from Mrs. Palin," Wheeler said, adding that CLSA approached Palin with the offer.
    How many of you expected that?
