    How about that Sarah Palin?
    Hello:

    Love her or hate her, she's a force to be reckoned with. Did you buy her book?

    I think she could be president in 2012. Palin/Cheney. What a ticket? (Which Cheney do you think I'm talking about?)

    I don't want her book, really, no interest to me, but I will say one thing for the woman, she has a lot of moxy and therefore interesting to a degree because you don't know what she will say or do next.

    I intend to buy her book . And I watch in amusement as the lapdog media do their best to try to discredit her.
    They are playing their role well.
    As they try to diminish Palin they accomplish exactly the opposite. Their ploy is self defeating. She gets stronger with every gratuitous attack.

    yes, even McCain and the people who worked on the Republican campaign are descrediting her - it's a bi-partisan effort! :D

    Mark my words, she will do more damage to the conservatives than, well, actually I can't think of anything to compare her to.

    Palin almost pulled McCain over the finish line. McCain's handlers are acting like the losers they are. They don't want to hear the truth about their marshmallow effort.

    Hello again, NK:

    Minor correction. She'll do more damage to the Republican party than she will to conservatives.. The tea baggers love her.

    Tick ;and President ObaMao thought there were 57 States in the US .

    I believe Excon was being quite serious. I hope people do misunderestimate her. And I hope the deranged attack on her by the lame stream media continues . She draws strength from that.

    Already ;before the book was officially released ,it was the highest selling non-fiction book of the year. A secnd printing is already underway.

    Back to Excon's comments. There are a lot of Republican congressional and state candidates that are going to owe big IOUs to her after the 2010 election. She may or may not be a candidate for the Presidency in 2012 .But if not she will have tremendous influence on who will be candidate ,and what platform the national ticket adopts. Excon knows it . The liberal bloggers like Huffpo and the Kossaks know it . The pundits on liberal cable shows know it ,the dinosaur media elites know it . AND most important ;the Rockefeller RINO wing of the Republican party knows it... and it scares the hell out of them.

    Hi, tom, well she certainly made a splash, I will say that. She knows where to place her feet and the thing is, she is stronger now knowing who her detractors are. I know, you know more about this then I do, it s okay. I just find the whole thing amusing and am following the show and how it plays out in the media,

    Did you see the tabloid like cover picture Newsweek used in their attack expose issue of her ? She is dressed in joggers gym shorts .They lifted it off a sport runners magazine Runner's World evidently without permission. It was completely appropriate for the magazine that she posed for. But ,it was low class journalism for a supposedly serious News Magazine to use it without her permission ;and something they would never dare to do to any other public servant .It was a cheap trick . The kind of cheap tricks she has been exposed to since she became a national figure.

    And why is her book being bought?

    She is pretty (her most hugest asset), has good body language and facial expressions, engages with her interviewer, and appears to care deeply about her children. Now, if only she would count to five before answering a question and think before she speaks, if she'd study up on world history and civics, she could be "the one" in 2012.

    Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

    -Napoleon Bonaparte

    If you guys on the left want to think of Palin as an airhead, while at the same time bowing at the alter of Nancy Pelosi, go ahead. Knock yourselves out.

    If you think that most Americans are going to follow you along that path, feel free to lead the way.

    Excon's right: love her or hate her, she's a force to be reckoned with. Dismiss her as a "lightweight" at your own peril.

    Do I think she's ready for the Presidency? No, I don't. But I think she'd be perfect for the Veep spot.

    If he doesn't like then don't buy the magazine. But don't come here trying to tell them not to do what he does.

    It's almost as if he wants censorship to protect his side only. Can't the people decide what's appropriate or not? I'll leave you back to your love of tom. :)

    I don't want any censorship . But I'm pretty sure that they violated the contract agreement between the photographer (or whoever gave them the photo) and the magazine.

    As usual you are inflating a minor point to deflect and in the process bringing little substance to the discussion .

    What did I say to make you think that? She is a very pretty woman, her biggest asset -- easy on the eyes with an engaging, honest smile. Nothing wrong with that. It's what's under her hair inside her head that concerns me. Heck, I'd vote for her for president if she had her political act together.

    No you wouldn't. But the majority of the voters obviously felt otherwise. You'll just have to keep posting your bitter threads for the next four years :)

    No, I won't be reading her book. If the Republican party wants to regain credibility, they won't give her the nomination. My dream ticket would be Ron Paul for president and Mitt Romney for vice president. I know Ron Paul is too far outside of the mainstream to get the nomination so I think the best realistic ticket would be Mitt Romney for president and Rudy Giuliani for vice president.

    His term has three years; the evaluation of his performance begins in a scant two; I can hardly wait.
