Politico: Grassroots Republicans Like Palin
Politico takes the time to report on the obvious: the grassroots likes Palin:
As part of an effort to gauge Palin’s popularity with the rank and file beyond the Beltway, where the GOP establishment is lukewarm toward the charismatic former governor, POLITICO surveyed nearly 50 prominent Republican Party officials and politicians, representing every region of the country and ranging from statewide-elected officeholders to state legislators to state and county party chairs.
Outside the Beltway, you say? I didn't know you Beltway types were allowed to leave. Is this going to be a Gorillas in the Mist kind of thing?
Another Palm Beach County Republican, state committeeman Pete Feaman, argued that Palin has been misunderstood and that, at least among Republican voters, her support is durable.
“Republicans love Sarah Palin whether she’s a presidential candidate, a governor or an ordinary citizen,” he said. “It’s interesting that inside-the-Beltway people have no clue how much she is really loved.”

I just emailed the article link to 750 I have on an email list - including every Republican official in Washington State
I can't believe some of those doubting Republican chair people. I mean, didn't Obama not finish his Senate term in order to run for president?
Was watching fox all morning with not one peep about Sarah's book. Just clicked over to msnbc and voila, nora odonnel and jim v. from politico discussing the book.
They don't think Sarah is running in 2012. Shhhhhhhh.
Great job Mel.
Gorillas In the Mist. Gotta love it. ;)
Mel - I was waiting on trhis post. What gets me is getting the Grass Roots is what wins elections. This is where Reagan was in the late 70s. Her lack of tie with the establishment is why her book is titled what it is. It is why McCains staff struggled with her. She is so anti-establishment and doesn't fit their neat little cupcake. The more thoughtful speeches like the one in Hong Kong and the further from the resignation she gets the better. As for as Romney and crew, look if Sarah runs she will have to debate them. If she holds her own and/or wins the debate the question will then come around to "wait a minute" he is no better on the issues than her. If she wins the debate it is lights out. The others will be writing their concession speeches for Super Tuesday.
[.]
"Her recent resignation was perplexing. It’s raised doubts about her viability as a potential presidential candidate. Still, she remains extremely popular with the GOP grass roots, and most Republican Party leaders would jump at the chance to have her headline one of their events."
[.]
"Some refused to talk about her at all. Others, mostly her critics, would do so only off the record. But taken as a whole, the body of interviews revealed that despite Palin’s high negative ratings in recent national polls, Republicans at the grass-roots level and their leaders still hold a very favorable impression of the former Alaska governor."
[.]
The very same "Republican Party leaders" (paragraph 1) who would 'jump at the chance to have her headline one of their events' refuse to talk about her or deny her.
headline? Does that mean she would upstage the candidate?
Thank you, Captain Obvious Politico!
Has anybody studied elections? Grassroots wins elections. It hurts me to say this but that is how Obama got in. The establishment was for Clinton. Grassroots make the phone calls, Grassroots knocks on doors, Grassroots drags 5 of their friends to the polls, grassroots multiplies.
LOL @ Mel's "gorillas in the mist"
the BELTway has a direct link to FOLLYwood as exhibited by that PUNK maher (also on the politico site) with his illiterate "death panels don't exist so lets kill sarah" comment! LEno should have kicked him off the set at that moment!
maher has always been a raging misogynist I'm just not sure why the looney left puts up with him
btw who is on troll scrub duty?
slacker (hehe)
Politico Poll
I just observe that the poll totally excluded Texas.
How can any national Republican poll be even near credible if it excludes Texas?
It can't
On top of that.
Didn't Obama quit during his first term as a U.S. Senator to run for POTUS?
So it seems to me that that is the simple response to anyone who calls Gov Palin a quitter.
The good thing about Sarah having a strong Grassroots Conservative support is 41 % of the US is Conservative. OK let us do a little math here. There are about 215 million Americans voting age. 41% of that # is roughly 88 million. Obama rallied the Grassroots Liberals last time and got 70 million votes. Only 20 % of Americans are Liberal. Obama is bleeding moderates daily. If he leaves his base his Grassroots will dry up so he has to stay liberal.
Now some will say yes there are more conservatives but it is about electoral college. Once again rally the Grassroot Conservatives and if you look at the #s all States are Conservative now with only DC being Liberal.
Add to that, Sarah's book and her Hong Kong speech showing the real Libertarian coming out in her (which is what about 70% of Americans are) and if she plays her cards right, Obama could make Jimmy Carter v Reagan look like a 15 round down to the wire election. The only tough sale will be the MSM fits in the 20 % liberal world. Sarah using Facebook and new technology to by-pass these bufoons is brilliant.
PEC
you are right! For years many many libs trashed Hillary for her moderate stance.
I think I got caught up in it for a spell when I was cheering for Gen. Clark to re-enter the race. sigh. When she out performed ALL of her opponents in EVERY debate it was clear who had the "smarts" for the job. Still MOST of the LIBS are like one dimensional one trick ponies that ONLY care about their ONE issue! Too many missing brain cells from all the years of abuse (or something)
lol
Palin is everything Obama pretends to be, Hank.
Transparent, reform minded, historic.
If you can't see that, you're just not paying attention.
Obama won the grassroots, no doubt. But he's not a reformer. He pretends to be one. He is a liar. His ties to Wall Street, particularly Goldman Sachs run deep. He is the earmark king, the Chicago pol, the lobbyist lover, the ACORN crown prince.
You think Sarah supporters are uneducated, but you're roundly mistaken. We are educated. We're just not OVER educated like the eggheads who created the financial crisis.
It truly takes a Harvard degree to f*** up this country.
Hank - You are absolutely right! Obama is a winner! You shouldn't waste your precious time on a Palin site when you could be giving thanks for Obama and learning some of the new worship songs in his honor.
This Palin stuff is a distraction from what's important. Obama would want you to spend your time praising him, praying to him, and giving thanks that he is here to save the world.
When will these guys get it through their heads that Sarah Palin is our candidate and not Romney?
you mean regular people like Sarah ? Who would have thought . . .
--------------------------------
just noticed C4P has a link for Sarah Bobblehead (right side).
I have my bobblehead at work tucked in a corner. But when someone comes to my office, I mean cube, when I turn around to speak with them, there she is, gracing my field of vision . . . :-)
- and my unsuspecting guest has no idea why my countenance just brightened significantly !
Oh man, you guys are on fire today!
ladydawnelle, Recovering Democrat, lonestar,
I am loving your comments! LOL!
Tangled Thorns,
Unfortunately, they probably won't get it until sometime during Spring 2012 when Mittens gives his concession speech.
Mel,

yep I do believe the fire in the puma belly is not about to die any time soon and I pray (personally) that Sarah keeps it lit cuz I'd LOVE to vote for her AGAIN!!! W00T!
Hank - Obama's poll #s look just like another Dems 8 months into their office. Jimmy Carter. Realizing this same poll had Obama over 65% just 5 months ago, I will let you do the math is where that is heading. At Obama's rate of decline Boehner can give him a run for his money in 2012.
ladydawnelle,
Yes, that line was hilarious, from Recovering Democrat!

All you can counter facts with is wild speculation. Well, if that's all you got through it at the wall and see if it sticks.
Most don't get what connects people with Palin. They don't understand it, and most likely never will. That's good. The more confusion they have, the better. Going Rogue, will be a #1 best seller for quite some time, and will probably be followed by a more policy and philosphical book, which will also be #1.
This is a column by a Vanity Fair hack, who doesn't get it either. I do give him credit for his last line: Sarah Palin is just getting started.
http://www.newser.com/off-the-grid/post/286/sarah-palin-is-winning.html
but mr hankie you are the REAL poo
recoveringdem - That was great. We have had 20+ years of these Ivy Leaguers f&*king things up in this country. Maybe we need some common sense. My little South Carolina degree can tell you more jobs in the US will be created by drilling for oil here, less dependence on foreign oil etc. but what does the great Ivy Leaguer do? Give Brazil money to do what he will not allow to be done in the US.
Maybe Ivy Leagues need a class called Common Sense 101 before any student can graduate. And no this is not a disrespect to any Ivy Leaguers here, just they need to do better at turning out National leaders. They are batting .000 for the last 20 years.
You can now pre-order Going Rogue at Barnes and Nobel or Amazon. BN is offering it a bit cheaper. I just ordered my copy, and will order more before Christmas.

Hank - Uh. Obama is dropping or not going up every poll from his first. Not a great trajectory and Polls are all showing he is holding his base but the loss is in Conservatives and Moderates. The liberals like his caving in to Iran as Iran fires missiles under Obama's nose that range 80+ US bases and Israel. They like Obama siding with Chavez in Honduras though Honduras followed their Constitution in impeaching a Socialist friend of Obama. They like Qadaffi calling Obama his Son as the left likes thugs like Qadaffi. They like 800+ Billion dollars earned by hard working Americans and their children to be flushed down the toilets as unemployment goes up..up..up.... And the youth vote that went with hopey, hopey, changy, changy how is that 18% (1930s Depression era) unemployment change doing for them?
Hey Beltway!...whatever....

How do you become... a Republican Prominent Official?...

Mia,
Hey, we missed you yesterday!:) So glad you are back! Woo-hoo, Mia!
Rush is going all out for Sarah again! He said he hopes she sells 5 million copies of her book and that the most infuriating part of the last election was no one in the party standing up for her and all the abuse she had to take.
Book synopsis from Barnes and Noble:
Sarah Palin burst onto the political scene at the height of the 2008 presidential campaign and overnight became a national sensation. Adored by the right, bitterly reviled by the left, she is the most polarizing figure to emerge in American politics in decades. Yet for all the dirt digging and gossip that has surrounded her, very little is actually known about who she is, what she believes, and above all, about her plans for the future. In her new book, Sarah Palin tells the story of her Alaskan upbringing, her marriage and family life, her political career, her religious beliefs, and her meteoric rise to national prominence. With her customary blunt common sense, she sets the record straight about the many myths and lies that have been spun around her and lays out her vision for an America that is strong, independent, and free.

"customary blunt common sense"--love it!
"lays out her vision for an America that is strong, independent and free"-Yes!
WAY TA GO RUSH!!!
He just fricken endorsed her! Get the audio!! (uh...please of course).
Barnes and Noble has th book. Check out the site. It has the cover picture.
It's a new one. She looks good.

Never being a fan before, I think I may be warming to him.
Hey Nancy...Busy time of the year...for me!
Just kept laughing at last night's book titles. Barbarian Babes have sharp claws! Lots of sophomoric troll droppings.
Had to laugh at "little" Hanky Panky with his unreachable SUMMER OF '42 fantasies--his infantile obsessions are so transparent. Boasted of his college degree and then mentions a history prof "...through Christians to the lions" and this morning "...through it at the wall." I thought you had to pass remedial English before you could get a degree.

there are more I'm sure but I've not talked to them lately - cousins everywhere!

LOL Ooo "SNAP"
I'm sure that Troll is through with you! ;-)
I sometimes get lazy and just go THRU the motions but NEVER would throw stones lest they came my way first!

Sorry to here about your condition.

Re: Your link to Sarah's book at B&N
I saw that page an hour or so ago and her book was ranked 668 on the bestseller list.
Now it's 29.
Look out Dan Brown...LOL.
Rush Limbaugh, just said on his radio show that he hopes Sarah,s book "Going Rogue" sells 5.000.000 copies, or more. Rush's still standing large for Sarah.
sarah rocks 2012
Hank: Gee it grieves me to respond to this troll. But, I know you are too young to remember REAGAN who won by a landslide. All the terrible things you are saying (as well as many of the Republican Establishment) were said about Reagan. It is the fly over part of the country, the blue collar people, the non-establishment that elect our presidents when they come out to vote.
If the conservatives had come out to vote for McCain, even with OBAMA'S black vote McCain would have won. And, I wouldn't count on the hispanic voting for OBAMA again. OBAMA got only a few points more of the Hispanic vote then Bush did. Most of them are pro-life and conservative by nature with the right candidate.
PLEASE, IF YOU ARE GOING TO SHOW US POLLS...SHOW US THE RELATION OF HOW MANY LIBS, THEY POLLED VERSUS CONSERVATIVES. These polls mean little to us because they are always heavily weighed liberal and are not usually voters...not even registered voters...just people that rarely vote.
You really need attention don't you??? Kinda sad a person has to play in a sand pile where they are not liked are wanted just to get attention. Grow Up... Get a Life.
aww PEC thank you that is beyond kind
I am lucky to have a relatively small but GREAT family who help. I'm a VET (not of any war thankfully) so I'm not too proud to take disability. I won't apply for food stamps again though. I'm not that bad off. I feel sorry for those that have no support.
I apparently am too proud (according to my MOM) to apply for a disability tag for my car but I can't help it. It makes me feel creepy when I can still walk (it's my heart) so I won't do it. Not yet.
Regarding Rush, I have to add, his wish for Palins book sales was in response to a razzing he got asking how he would feel if her book ended up outselling his. He came right out and said he hoped he book would outsell his.
For those who prefer Amazon, here's the link for the pre-order:

I think the Barnes and Noble link has a better price.

The Ivys got us into Viet Nam too: Kennedy, McNamara, etc. The Brain Trust which is a laugh because all those dummy peasants in North Vietnam and the Viet Cong won the war proving how out-of-touch American leadership has been since the end of WW2.
Those in the federal government, the media, academia our completely out-of-touch with the rest of America.
Hank must get a flat rate per post from Axelrod. But he's wasting everybody's time, including his own, since he sure isn't convincing anyone here. The machine might want to re-consider the value of their investment in Hank.
And Hank, good buddy, if Palin is the non-entity and non-threat you claim, why not go after someone whom you think is a REAL threat to your man Barry?
What does sale rank 29 mean?

It sounds like I better pre-order my book if I want one of the 1.5 million first cut.
That is one long troll dropping!

Nancy - I just choked on my coffee laughing at that one. Can't RAM get a better crew of trolls? She needs to tell Axelrod to pay more than minimum wage if he wants quality results.
Going Rogue was #688 at BN when I ordered about an hour ago, and it is now up to #29. That's quite a sharp rise in the ranks in just an hour. Kennedy's book is #9, but it's been out for a few weeks already.

A note about prices -- Amazon has a low price guarantee, so if their list price goes down at any time before the book is released, you'll automatically get the cheaper price.
COOL!
Just bought 10 copies. One for me and 9 for X-mas gifts.
I finished my X-mas shopping WAY WAY early.
Yee-haw!

Article in the WSJ by John Fund re: Sarah's book. Here's an interesting snippet:
Ms. Vincent didn't reveal any details about the book, but did acknowledge it will describe Ms. Palin's frustration over her treatment by the staffers she inherited from the McCain campaign after her surprise pick as the GOP vice presidential nominee last year. Ms. Palin was booked on grueling interviews with hostile reporters while talk-show hosts such as Glenn Beck couldn't even get through to her aides. Mr. Beck tells me he was stunned when he picked up the phone one day just before the election to discover Sarah Palin was on the other end of the line. "She explained that she had been blocked from reaching her audience, so she was now 'going rogue' and booking her own interviews," Mr. Beck told me. "I was thrilled she had burst out of the cage they'd built for her and we were finally talking."
That incident was the only time Ms. Palin declared her independence from her keepers, and it's fitting that the title of her upcoming book will be "Going Rogue: An American Life."
At that Barnes and Noble link, her sales rank just climbed up to NUMBER 6!
Mia,
Irritated bowel troll.

By the way on the front of the Barnes and Noble site, it has the top 10 sellers of the day. She is at #6 just passed Beck who was at #7.

We gotta force them to print another 1.5 million before it's even released!
Did anybody check out this article by John Fund, http://is.gd/3MUka where Palin will discuss having to book her own interview with Glenn Beck because the McCain staffers prevented her from going on talk radio.
Beck was quoted in this article saying how shocked he was when he picked up the phone and Palin was on the other line, because she sneaked in a phone call with him.
And how the campaign basically caged her.
I imagine she also had to book her own interview with Levin, Hugh Hewitt, and Rush.
Nat Hound - My sentiments exactly. I think the other crew that is a little worried right now are the Good Ole Boy Republicans in Alaska.
Guesses? How long until she outsells President Obama?
How many jobs will the demand for her create (book binding manufacturers, paper mills etc)?

I think the same thing happen with BOR. She told him she wanted to go on his show.
That is one of her rogue moments so they claimed.
I wonder if more leaks are going to start to hit the news about the McCain campaign and Sarah in the coming weeks.
Anonymous sources of course
We can bet for sure there won't be any anonymous sources in Sarah's book.
We'll see how long this lasts. The trolls can never stay away. They're flip-floppers, just like the object of their obsession.
But, I'll hope for the change!
Dream troll: One that doesn't come here.
A very, very small part of me feels bad for the McCain people. They almost certainly did not know what they had in Governor Palin. An inkling, perhaps, but not the full picture. Certainly not enough to invest their full faith in her abilities.
Bottom line: John McCain ran an incredibly passive campaign and on some level, the incredibly active Sarah Palin was a terrible fit for him. Team McCain basically had to put her under house arrest to keep her at the "correct" level of passivity. Katie Couric was but a warning shot to keep her in her place...
Thanks for posting this article. '
I have just ordered my copy of the book. But, I'll get another one at a midnight release party. I'm just going to go ahead and plan on their being one to attend :)

I emailed FOX & Friends earlier today about the book and later on the book news started scrolling across the TV screen along with other news.
Don't know if it was already part of the scroll or if it was added.
It also mention that people are wonder if this is a lead up to running in 2012. Not the exact words.
But it mention the book being done early and moving up the release date and then the run for 2012.

Already pre ordered the book from barnes and noble. Did you all see the sales ranking, it went from 668 this morning to now #6. They are gonna have to print more copies. I havent seen the book on amazon.com, I typed in the name and nothing came up. I presume its the same price there, 17.99 for a 432 page book is a GREAT deal. This book is gonna ROCK
John Fund has a few more tid bits about the book...

@Whitney The Pipsqueak
Hank is a 15 year old kid. You can tell by the way he types and the crap that comes out of his mouth. No way does an adult talk like that. His spelling boo boos prove this kid has to go back to school and get himself an education. Whatever school he goes to isn't doing a good job. Probably some liberal hell hole that prays to their dear leader everyday. No wonder he is so messed up in the head

("Yale suchiatta" - right Mia?)
Sapwolf - man, I was even playing matchmaker for you and defendAmerica. (I hope you finally saw that Sun. night or yesterday.)
(Mock indignation.)
from my posting on the open thread:
10 insidious reasons for or objectives of the Politico article "GOP base still wild about Palin":
1)To deem Sarah as UNELECTABLE by implying she has no appeal outside the GOP base and to re-emphasize her supposedly high unfavorables; one GOP big shot calls her "damaged goods". In addition to elevate Romney and Huckabee.
2)To legitimize the misguided idea that most of the "criticism" of Sarah Palin is warranted
3)To highlight the "quitter" meme and to use it against her to diminish her influence by claiming the majority of the GOP was against her resigning
4)To imply that Sarah is like a travelling 3 ring circus or sideshow (the Jennifer Aniston of the party with her main appeal being fundraising) with plenty of frivolous sizzle but no meaty steak and that "serious" people will not consider Sarah for higher office
5)To divide the GOP by throwing the cat among the pigeons among the conservatives and the RINO's or the West against the East or the urban vs rural or secular vs evangelical
6)To imply Sarah is crazy or erratic-Politico calls it "a worrisome pattern of uneven behavior".
7)To play up the "inexperience" card which will remain a constant for Palin's GOP opponents and the Democrats to use against Palin
8)To diminish or marginalize her influence in the 2010 midterms ("I don't see Sarah Palin as the leader of the Republican Party going forward")with the party and voters; a corollary is to depress sales of her book
9)That Palin is not qualified to be POTUS in 2012 because she does not know enough (is an unsophisticated idiot) or does not have a clear agenda of what she believes or wants to accomplish (Palin should hit the books-the Katie Couric issues-exhibits muddled thinking on the issues, does not possess the political skills)
10)To depress and divide anti-Obama support so it does not coalesce behind Sarah (the nightmare scenario for Obama)
#5 on Barnes and Noble now.
Sorry Charter,
But 'Harvard is NOT the solution.'
I did note my assignment to the barbarian babe defendAmerica.
Thanks. I feel like I really belong now.
First thing we will work on is a new name for her:
"Sapwolf's Babe"
If she treats me good, I'll get her a Sarah book signed by the future POTUS.
As for Mel's post - very revealing, but not surprising.
Some of those state and local GOP leaders reconfirm why I think the party is just a short distance this side of clueless.
But credit where credit is due:
The westerners get it, particularly in NV; Arapahoe Cty, CO; (what's up with Montana?)
Floridians on both coasts get it.
Wake Cty, NC was a bit slow to figure out the meaning of Sarah's passing the ball to Sean Parnell; but they're now up to speed.
Here in the Northeast, they totally get it in ME and NH.
The quote from the anonymous NH state senator was my favorite:
“If she showed up tomorrow in New Hampshire, they’d be lined up across the state.”
(C.O. would probably be there with them.)
techno - Agree. That is why moving up this book deal, giving her an opportunity if it presents itself to write a more vision/issue book before 2011 (when campaigning starts) is good.
The one thing Sarah may have going for her that has been little used if ever used before is Social Networking with Facebook and Tweeter. Her supporters will be able to get her message unfiltered by the MSM and blast it on their facebooks, twitters and word of mouth. By time MSM can send it through the Liberal filter people can already reach a conclusion.
Nat Hound,
I think they realized what they had in Sarah but they just didn't know how to handle what was happening. It was all new.
I mean Gov. Palin turned into a superstar over night. Ten thousands or more at every stop. They were constantly upgrading locations and the news was all Palin. I don't think they had enough staff and were not prepared for the type of hate that was coming from the fringe media. After all Gov. Palin was a woman and the McCain campaign didn't expect the MSM to go to places it went.
Plus they didn't have the money or the time needed for a superstar. Every state and every city wanted Gov. Palin.
When was the last time the republicans had a superstar?
I watched a lot of the campaign stops for Gov. Palin and the people went crazy for her. They all wanted to touch her and be near her.
I had never seen anything like that in my life time for a politican.
Obama has his supporters but they were dead beats or fake.
Sapwolf,
For the record, I never suggested that Harvard WAS the solution.
But happy to hear that you learned about defendAmerica.
We expect a report if you two have that date!
$17.99 ????
- Sarah influenced that, she's not in it for the bucks per se.
wonder how much similar books go for ? (assuming ANYTHING is even CLOSELY SIMILAR TO THIS BLOCKBUSTER)
Charter...I got in trouble with...(I think it was...alwaysfiredup?) ummmm...She graduated from Yale...
alwaysfiredup...Got in my face!
Mia... I kid you NOT...
I am NOT a reader...Hate it..
As GOD is my witness.. I HATE IT!
I read articles and such..Especially Fishing Articles..
My Favorite Magazine is "Boundary Waters Journal"..
but as far as picking up a book..
Ugh...Just Yank Out my Teeth! It would be less painful!
My theory on Books...If it takes 500 pages to get your story across...You have too much time on your hands!
I am thinking I may be A.D.D....LMAO!
CruelaDav,
get your engines started re: reading a book by reading "Sarah" by (Lynn ?) Johnston.
It's a quick read and one of the reasons I fell in love with Sarah (I raised two Sarahs and the story just resonated with me like so many others)
Bill - OK, a HUMMER it shall be.
That makes two.
Lipstick can take her pick.
(I came turret gunner on one of those HUMMERS.)
CruelaDev,
Buy the audio book and listen to it if you don't like to read.
By the way, in the meantime, I would suggest reading Same Kind of Different as Me. It is a book that Lynn Vincent also worked as a collaborator on. It is a great read about the unlikely crossing of paths between a wealthy Texas couple and a former sharecropper, Louisianan homeless man. It was a wonderful and touching book. It actually made me cry, which is incredibly hard to do!
Cruela...I give up reading for Lent...Believe me... that is a sacrifice for me!!!!...
I'm an avid reader....I Love It!!!!
Woohoo! I preordered me book today from Barnes and Noble and when I did, it was ranked #29. I just looked again, and it is now ranked #5. You go! Sarah.
Let's make this lady some money!
CharterO--You made my day! I was hoping that 50 cals would be mounted on top as standard equipment. Every 5th round a tracer so you can walk your bursts into target at night. It smells like victory! LOL!
arghh. I *claim* turret gunner!
COL OldDude, MAJ Bill - convoy indeed!
All the way to the inauguration ball!
(if Sarah so chooses).
----------------
Beehive, Nat Hound,
Thanks, and agreed! Those backstabbers angling for jobs with Mittens deserve whatever is coming to them.
They and McCain had plenty of time and opportunity to come clean.
Payback is indeed a bitch (or witch, if you prefer).
-----------
Mia - thanks for that. I didn't see that about alwaysfiredup.
Still, it's time for Yale to take some of the brunt.
OK, OK...Princeton then!
Nat Hound, Techno ... Great insights.
And there is a subtle thread that ran through both your posts:
THE KATIE COURIC CONUNDRUM
Here are my thoughts on this:
1. I hope Sarah's book goes into detail about that "ill-fated" interview that every Sarah hater clings to as proof positive of Sarah's disqualification for higher office.
2. Has anyone here on C4P considered an extensive expose of that "damning" interview? There are so many angles to explore:
- the rumor that Katie conferred with Sam Nunn, a former Senator and Obama advisor, for advice not only on what foreign policy questions to ask but INTERVIEWING tips on how to expose Sarah.
- The McCain camp's role in setting up a supposedly six-hour interview with a known liberal TV personality, knowing that the interview would be edited severely to confirm a political agenda unfavorable to Sarah.
- Comparison of the edited vs. unedited transcripts. I know in one part of the unedited transcript Sarah talked about separation of powers that the executive branch doesn't have the ability to "override" the judiciary on its decisions. That was conveniently chopped off when Katie continued to push Sarah for Supreme Court decisions with which she disagreed. The separation of powers argument made Sarah sound too bright, I suppose. Katie just wanted to show that Sarah couldn't name decisions she disagreed with. She didn't want Sarah to put it in the context of the Constitutional authority.
Oh, and CharterOkie ... I only find fault with liberal Harvard grads. If you're a TRUE conservative Ivy Leaguer, you're tops in my book! Ha!
COL OldDude,
I'm sure I can handle that .50 cal.
There are a few folks who wouldn't want to wander into my sights...just in case my finger tensed up.

RD,
You were nominated and confirmed on one of the threads below.
(Glad you pointed out that you had a *husband*. That made it one of the easier calls recently.)
I never quite understood the logic of that, what did insight did Nunn really have into Sarah, he may have come from a small town, but he was a longtime Washington insider. Richard Haas, whose busy now repudiating Afghanistan as a war of necessity, would have even
less perspective.
Well you all need to understand my job...I do so much Research...then have to submit all that research into short concise and to the point statements.
So after all these years...I have developed the "Describe an entire house in 10 words or less"..theory!
Sam Nunn could have given questions that nobody could answer. Why did Katie get 6 hours? Sounds like a dope deal between Nicole Wallace and her friend Katie.
Ugh.. Huge Earthquake just hit America Somoa..Tsunami Warning..
7.9
This is bad because of the depth of the quake...20 miles below the surface is not a good thing.
Have friends from there..and there families still live on the island.
PrayerS!
CruelaDev,

CruelaDev,
