Sarah Palin, a breath of fresh air. You gotta love her.

The hell w/POTUS, I want her to be my Queen!

‘preciate ya, ‘Cuda!

I. LOVE. SARAH.

Well don’t slow down as you cross the border, ’cause me and my entire family will run right over you!

Sarah Palin is awesome. And as I’ve said before, if there were any justice in this world, she’d already be the subject of a Lifetime made-for-TV movie detailing all her awesomeness. If she were a politician on the other side of the aisle, you know it would have been done already.

1)the conservatives (base)must rally around Sarah very early in the process (even before the primary season) showing Sarah’s opponents it would be futile to try to compete against her; this would allow Sarah to organize her ground forces, enhance her fundraising capabilities and unite the party under one banner

2)by downplaying her social conservative credentials and playing up her libertarian/fiscal conservative credentials

3)if the economy continues to be in the tank in 4 years

4)if the Obama administration appears to be really incompetent or unmistakably corrupt

5)Obama does not run again

6)Reagan Democrats, suburban moms and Roman Catholics including Hispanics must support Sarah’s message in greater numbers than they supported McCain’s message

7)Sarah must win more conservative voters than McCain won (20% of conservatives voted for Obama in 2008)

8)the GOP must find a way to successfully counter or repulse the daily 24/7 propaganda of the MSM, including late-night comedians, to discredit and dismiss Sarah

9)Sarah’s VP must complement her in philosophy, conviction, and competence

10)Sarah must take the fight to Obama with relentless vigor, stating clearly her unabashed belief in the traditions of America, her commitment to a strong national defense and her blueprint for creating more prosperity for Americans by allowing the free enterprise system to flourish.

Even if these 10 things could be achieved Sarah would still a clear underdog; I am under no illusion. For those Republican supporters who say I’m not ready to think about 2012 yet, I have this to say to you: “Yesterday was not soon enough to launch the 2012 GOP campaign,”

1) Obama’s re-election campaign has already started; he is not going to let any grass grow under his feet; thus he will have an advantage on any stnadard-bearer the GOP puts forward; Obama will simply be better organized than his opponent

2)since 1900 8 OF 12 presidents running for re-election have won a 2nd term; the odds are in Obama’s favor

3)the MSM will be in Obama’s corner for the next 4 years providing him unqualified support and actively promoting his re-election

4)at the same time the MSM will be in 2-3 years actively seeking with their massive resources to drive a deep or permanent wedge between the moderates and conservatives in the GOP in a divide and conquer strategy paving the way for an Obama walkover; there is no way a divided Republican Party can beat Obama win

5)Obama’s charisma, the stature of the incumbent and an aura of invincibility will bolster his position and gravitas

6)the trend of more and more Hispanics voting Democratic

7)single females in huge numbers will continue to vote for Obama because of the abortion issue

8)the vast majority of the political pundit class and elites will be in Obama’s corner: they bring a lot of money, clout, and credibility with them

9)Obama again will have a huge money advantage over the GOP presidential candidate allowing him to saturate the airwaves again in the battleground states

10)the 12m or so illegal adult immigrants that Obama will make citizens will in turn favor Obama with their vote

Under these circumstances Obama cannot lose. The GOP in 2012 will be no match for the Messiah, under this scenario.

By the way I wholeheartedly support Sarah Palin but I also am a realist and know what Sarah will be up against in 2012 if she decides to run.

Really hope she changes her mind.

the irony of it is look at what she just did with the pipeline, how many americans know about that. More know that Obama wants to change lightbulbs and put hospital records online, and energy efficient schools….”#%#”%¤ turd. Now which one you think will have more of an impact :-)

Dunno, but I’m going up in June to do some volunteer work on a church and then take a couple of weeks to travel. You guys want me to say hi for you? Bring you back something? Maybe some moose hot dogs?

LOL! Bring back some Alaska Amber and moose burgers! And tell Sarah we think she’s swell.

I wonder how many people are visiting or moving to Alaska just because of Sarah Palin?

LOL! Queen of the Last Frontier indeed.

Denise Spencer flew north from Yorktown, Va., for the open house and the chance to meet Palin.

“I said, ‘OK, this is what I want for Christmas,’” she said. She’s also considering moving here.

Palin, she said, inspired her to become involved with politics again and she volunteered for the McCain-Palin ticket.

“She’s straightforward – what you see is what you get,” Spencer said.

I adore Dennis Miller.

I’m not down with the ‘Cuda’s dress

Ah, apparently it’s a kuspuk, which is a traditional Yupik garment (the First Dude is party Yupik I believe). Just satisfying my own curiosity there.

As far as the tabloid ‘Todd is mad that Sarah’s hot’ story: they look pretty happy in the pictures from today. And they are both ridiculously good looking. They made some beautiful kids too.

Dennis Miller happens to think that they have a great relationship and that’s what makes left-wing women hate her!

Love Dennis Miller…was flipping through cable channels the other night and ran across Bordello of Blood. Dennis Miller killing vampires was priceless when you’re used to him in pundit mode. :)

Well, yeah, she’s like a wrecking ball poised to smash through all the precious orthodoxies they’ve been formulating and shoving down our throats for the better part of 50 years or so. She’s a threat.

PALIN 2012

I know you people aren’t big on fancy book learnin’ and such, but since this is a blog aren’t you embarrassed to admit you can’t use “the Google”?

Palin talks about driving to Juneau via Canada. Be sure to read the comments – they’re a hoot!

Benny,

Give us a list of your favorite 10 books and why you like them. Maybe then we can get ‘enlightened’ like you. Then I’ll send a list of ten for you to be ‘enlightened’.

Now, get some more ice on that left elbow and get back to the basement before your female night elf gets killed in Pvs.P while you are d**king around on HA.

Move maggot.

There is a story out there now that Todd Palin is jealous of the attention his wife is getting from being so attractive on the campaign trail.

technopeasant on December 9, 2008 at 11:40 PM

It’s really sad that tabloids are now making up nonsense like this stupid story. How absurd.

In her speech at the RGA last month, Palin had this to say about her husband:

Along the trail, it was my husband, Todd, who was my right hand. And among his many willing — winning qualities is the gift that he has of optimism and just thankfulness in all situations that he finds.

And going forward, I’m going to count on those qualities a little more, even. Because of course there was a disappointment after a loss in a national election like that. You run to win. You run the race to win.

It’s kind of relying on Todd with that optimism and the thankfulness in all situations, that I’m certainly going to be there with him along those lines.

It was clear when she said those words in her speech that she was speaking off the script and from her heart. Look at the syntax. It wasn’t scripted. It was impromptu, and you could how genuine it was.

I remember a brief clip in Matt Lauer’s interview with the Palins(at 1:25 into the video) that caught my attention and said so much visually. It was Palin, obviously just home from work, holding her baby with her husband standing next to her, and both of them were just beaming at that little baby boy as if he was the best thing in the world. The love there between all three was so obvious it took your breathe away. You can’t fake stuff like that.

And besides all of that, the sex appeal goes both ways in that marriage. They are obviously “evenly yoked” in that regard. Woman are as enamored of Todd Palin as men are of Sarah Palin. Greta Van Susteren was such a flirt with him (in an innocent way). Take a look at this video of Greta riding on the snowmachine with Todd for example and note the smile that Sarah gives at about 3:20 into the clip.
