palin and the presidency.say it isn;t so,that there are enough people in the republican party that would even consider nominating this half term,half wit from alaska.this woman has truly brought political discourse to a new nadir and has shown an unparalleled lack of knowledge about u.s. history and the constitution.
it would seem that a better place for her would be comedy central or perhaps in a remake of i love lucy.

It doesn't matter what liberals think or the liberal press, for that matter.
Obama has all but insured that the Republicans will win the next election and will add the Senate to their sphere of power, as well. What the liberal pundits say about Sarah Palin no longer matters either. The electorate will not be dictated to by left wing propaganda anymore.

There seems to be a lot of confusion as to why Palin resigned as Gov. of AK. After the 2008 election, Palin had to swat one frivolous lawsuit after another away. She was looking bankruptcy in the eyes due to the enormous legal feels that were being imposed on her while being hamstrung from doing her job of effectively governing Alaska. Why is this so hard to understand?

You wrote: "HOWARD DEAN thinks she can beat our greatest multi-racial president, EVER!!"
Pull your head out of your butt and take a breath of fresh air once in awhile-you're killing off all of your brain cells. Obama Is THE WORST President this nation has EVER had and he will be a one term President. Not because "this country is full of stupid idiots" as Bill Maher says-but because he is little more than a spin-meister liar and a failure as an executive and the country is watching. I predict Mitt Romney will beat him by 7 points.

Nice diatribe without any evidence. If you care to be informed watch "Palin Undefeated" when it comes out. I bet you get all of your information from MMFA and the Daily Kos. Why don't you read "Going Rogue" or "The Persecution of Sarah Palin: How the Elite Media Tried to Bring Down a Rising Star."
Your assertions more aptly fit Obama. What is his plan to save medicare? Everything he has done on the economy has failed miserably, but rather than admit failure and change course, he insists on doubling and tripling down. Talk about no learning curve.

1) She quit the Governorship to ride her popularity wave and make big bucks before her 15 minutes of fame were up and most Americans know it.
2) If elected, she will move to the middle to get re-elected since her conservatism is mostly a facade to garner popularity and the GOP echelon knows it.
3) She mostly only appeals to far-right ultra conservatives.
4) She is a money grubber and will say or do almost anything for cash. Her fan base doesnt seem to recall that she only proclaimed herself a Tea Party spokesperson very late in the game long after the Tea Party gained popularity.
5) She doesn't think too well on her feet and will fail in the debates.

WISH YOU PALIN-HATERS AND OBAMANITES WOUKD GET LITERATE. DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK. STOP LISTENING TO ANYONE ON TV. PALIN IS VERY ACCOMPLISHED FROM HUMBLE ROOTS. OBAMA IS FROM A MYSTERIOUS PAST AND IS A SOCIAL ELITE. WHICH ONE DO YOU THINK WILL THROW YOU UNDER THE BUS FIRST?

Palin is one of the most ill-prepared politicians this country has ever seen, and that's saying something. She doesn't think the rules apply to her, which appeals to some of her fan base, but some of those rules include ethics and common sense. Currently she has been very clear is not running a campaign but she is also quite clear that she is using campaign funds to not run. If they can investigate and prosecute other politicians for misuse of funds, why aren't they checking this blatant action? She seems to think she and only she knows what's good and right, only she knows what to do (but she has yet to come up with a specific plan or policy for anything) she makes up words and American history and both she and her loyal fans jump at the chance to justify this by comparing her to literary classics and by altering Wikipedia to reflect what she said. She takes NO responsibility, has NO regard for anyone's hard work, thinks commitment is an undesirable trait, and has yet to show she has any kind of intellectual curiosity, even when it comes to her understanding of government and the constitution itself.
The press needs to get a grip and stop promoting her as valuable or worthy. Try and fail? This woman won't try specifically because she won't fail. She has no learning curve and no desire to acquire one. She wants it all and she wants it now - she doesn't want to have to earn it or work for it. She thinks she deserves it because she exists. She epitomizes everything that is wrong with America today.
