    Anyone who reads her comments as backing Beck for her running mate has serious reading comprehension problems.

    She didn't deny it. What's she hiding? Hey were just asking questions here.

    Why should she deny it when she said she was no where's near making a decision on running herself ? I linked to the Newsmax blurb and that offers no additional insight . So all that is here is incomplete half sentences pieced together, without proper context, to concoct a fill in article .

    It's opinion tom. Just like Hotair or Michelle Malkin.

    But she did say:
    Quote:

    "I can envision a couple of different combinations, if ever I were to be in a position to really even seriously consider running for anything in the future, and I'm not there yet," Palin tells Newsmax. "But Glenn Beck I have great respect for. He's a hoot. He gets his message across in such a clever way. And he's so bold — I have to respect that. He calls it like he sees it, and he's very, very, very effective."

    I didn't quite get how she "floated the idea." Seems folks are reading things into it that aren't there. But what is this Palin obsession of yours?

    You seem to be obsessed with democrats, no?

    Anyway she's a clown that makes us laugh.

    I'm obsessed with football. Democrats just happen to be in power, setting policy, affecting my present and future and apparently still running against Sarah Palin.

    Funny, when Bush was in power you still posted your threads about democrats. What, you think we're stupid? :)

    Anyway a Palin/Beck ticket would be great woudn't it? A couple of straight shooters!

    Today it's more about the power they're attempting to wield over our lives, back then it was about what a$$es they were being.

    Not going to happen. What bothers the left about both of them is the successes they've had, hence the need to destroy them.

    Thanks Speech. Keep drinking the kool-aid.

    BTW what are Palin's successes again? And Beck's for that matter.

    So let me get this straight...

    Palin gets asked a joking question in an interview, answers it with another joke and a compliment for Beck, and you and that blog you cited take that to mean that she wants him as a running mate.

    Am I interpreting your post correctly?

    Is there a reason that anyone should take anything you post about Palin seriously anymore?

    What Kool-aid? I'm not calling for Palin to run for president and I just told ex yesterday I've never watched Glenn Beck. Try to pay attention.

    Tom covered Palin sufficiently in the other thread, but I'll add this from her Grand Rapids book signing:

    Quote:

    Wednesday's predawn darkness: | It was 4:55 when the first cheer went up.

    “Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!”

    And that’s 4:55 this morning, when the thermometer had dipped into the 30s. But the 500 or so people in line didn’t mind the sleepless night or the cold.

    “What she represents is what we’re standing in line for,” said Robin Case, 44, of Traverse City, who set up a chair and sleeping bag at 9 p.m. Tuesday to make sure she got the chance to meet Palin, former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate. “She’s real, and she’s standing up for what we believe in.”

    Palin was scheduled to begin her “Going Rogue” book tour at the Barnes & Noble Booksellers in suburban Grand Rapids.

    By 7 a.m., the line had swelled to more than 1,500 people as Barnes & Noble employees wrapped orange wristbands around Palin fans' wrists.
    She's pulling in bigger crowds than Obama.

    As for Beck, here's a sample, Glenn Beck Gets First Scalp: Van Jones Resigns. Oh, and I'm sure Olby is envious of Beck's ratings.

    Next?

    You mean aside from cutting government spending to balance the Alaska state budget? How about setting up one of the smoothest energy deals in history to make the people of her state wealthier? How about her time as the Chairwoman of the Alaska Oil & Gas Conservation Commission? How about killing the bridge to nowhere? Any one of these would be considered a major accomplishment in the career of any other politician, much less ALL of them.

    But not Palin, right? She's a dumb bimbo, right?

    Well there you go, that's why she should run for you guys in 2012. I would back that.

    Well go ahead, misunderestimate her. It would be far better to have a president that has actually accomplished something in office for her constituents and uses terms like "bass-ackwards" and "a hoot" than an amateur that can talk an eloquent but empty game.

    Before Glenn Beck can run for anything he needs to come out and deny he allegedly killed a girl in AZ in the 90's. Why won't he? What does he have to hide? I'm just asking questions!

    Maybe because it's a hoax.

    By the way, here's something I bet you guys didn't know about Beck.

    To find right PR guru, Beck looked to his left
