Would a President Palin Quit Halfway Through Term?

Reader Comments

The phrase "former half-term governor" is factual.

How is it that facts like that make people hate Palin.

happymullah of TX is mistaken - people don't hate Palin, people love the flaky reality tv celebrity, but almost no one thinks she's a good at governing or almost no one is willing to take the chance of putting her in any higher office than she currently holds. Apparently Palin doesn't like the hard work of governing either since she quit halfway through her first term as governor of state with such tiny population, a socialist state that hands out oil kickbacks to state residents. happymullah of TX, get a sense of humor, palin is comic relief in tough times. Palin couldn't beat Obama in her home state of Alaska.

Across the board Americans don't think Palin is competent or committed to public service enough to hold any public office again. Everyone thinks its great that she will continue her gig on fox comedy news because she is hilarious. She is such a ridiculous farce we can't stop laughing at her. Apparently we're laughing with her as she gets the last laugh all the way to her bank.

There are lots of people who want to see her run but it's mostly people who want to see more comedy on cable tv. Count me in on that.

Brandt, you make my point.

The first woman to represent her party in a presidential election will make more in a year that Palin has in her life, even if she loses.

You're clearly seeking to console yourself by throwing out two ideas that have been run into the ground like road kill: Palin would quit and she's all about the money.

I'd bet my lungs that if you ran for dogcatcher and held the post for a year you would do handstands to get speaking engagements for $500 from PETA, a $5,000 book deal from the ACLU, and probably PAY to be a guest on Bill Maher's show.

In short you're a hypocrite and a myopic one at that.

The moment I read your first sentence saying "former half-term governor" I stopped reading the rest of your blog because you have revealed yourself as a Palin hater. Why would I want to read more of your stupid liberal garbage that has become a grating litany of lies and slander on this decent woman whose only "sin" is that she's a conservative woman with a wonderful family life and who has lived a life of faith? Is this so intolerable for you liberal haters to accept that this person should be living in the same country as you do?

You need to stop for a moment and meditate on your obsessive hatred and perhaps find peace within yourself, a peace that's solely lacking in the liberal ethos.

VIVA SARAH!

Are you suggesting that only men who were "biologically" fathers can be called "Founding Fathers"? James Madison was only 25 in 1776 and only had one step-son, so?

...attracted to the most moronic nonsense:

"Oprah had Tiny Tim's Love Child", "Tom Cruise Really 101 Years Old".

Sooner or later someone woulkd have had to ask the dumbest Palin question, which I suppose are asked by quite a few people at three in the morning after watching "Saved by the Bell" re-reruns. It's not that the question is so assanine--which it is--it's bringing up Nixon's name who resigned because he was about to be impeached for high crimes in office.

I'm certainly not a big fan of Barack Obama as a president or politician but the guy really has been screwed by the same people who put him in office. The class of 2012 can certainly be mentioned alongside the most emotionally hijacked collection of feckless Americans that ever went into a voting booth.

I'd bet just about every one of them were descendents of people who made mad dashes for their car to get out of New York and New Jersey when Orson Welles had them believing tentacled aliens were vaporizing American tanks.

The real question that many of us want to know is "How do you getpaidto write such nonsense?"

We may, as a country be on the slide and the economy has taken a major hit but it's

still a place where a bad idea and 10 minutes is worth something.

Palin doesn’t need to be president. The salary isn’t enough for her and she’d just abandon the post like she did in Alaska. What Sarah is after is fame and fortune and everything that goes. See how she sells herself at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/06/ecstasy-of-sarah-palin_15.html

Brad Bannon is the President of Bannon Communications Research, which is a polling and consulting firm that helps Democratic candidates, labor unions and progressive issue groups win political and public affairs campaigns. Brad also guest hosts Leslie Marshall's nationally syndicated radio talk show and has his own show on 1510 AM, Boston's progressive talker.

A gracious analogy would be: Holder of the 3rd House Cup of Buffalo Saliva of Las Cruses, NM, or Vice President of Succotash Hamlet, South Carolina (Haw haw haw!) Then, it states he is a host for Leslie Marshall's nationally sydicated radio talk show. I haven't heard of this talk show, but if it presents anything like Leslie Marshall's appearances on Fox News, it's definitely a losing proposition, big time!

Somehow, I'm pretty sure these two have no idea of karma as hey continue to spread their vicious propaganda similar to that of "Tokyo Rose" of WW II. Nonetheless, I'm certainly glad I don't know these fools on a personal level. What an ugly joke they are!

Is punch drunk from Democrat Kool-aid. Obama performance as president can only be rivaled by Jimminey Carter. Obama, at his current rate, may yet surpass Jimminey as the worst president in American History.

As for Bannon . . . His entire article is drivle. She at least accomplished more in her tenure as Governor than Barack Obama did as a quitting Senator. What did he do as senator beside vote present and attach his name to a bill to re-name a post office in some cowtown in backwater USA?

was 9 years old in 1776, not old enough to be a father in most of the United States
