Those who buy into the conventional “wisdom” about the Cuda must be getting all of their info distilled through the lens of the MSM. I’d invite all who fall into this category to go read Conservatives4Palin, or Team Sarah, or Sarah’s Full Court Press, or some of the other blogs out there dedicated to disseminating ACCURATE information about the governor and her record. I think you will find the picture you have of her is quite distorted.

Palin 2012

My biggest concern is that the press has Dan Quayled her. Dan Quayle wasn’t stupid at all, in fact he was much better than Bush 1, but the press was ruthless to him (his Murphy Brown dispute didn’t help, right though it was). They painted her as a dumb hick who follows a weird religion, can she overcome that? By 2012, will it matter?

*SIGH*
It’s really hard to separate a beast from its food.
Especially if it is a BIG beast.

So just bcs you can get something for free doesn’t mean you should.

The liberals you identified, are just used to feeding at the trough of life…

also think that Mirkowsky claiming that she’d fight is kind of like my dog growling when a bigger dog is coming up to her. She’s hoping that she can scare Cuda off before it comes down to it, but if it came down to it Mirkowsky would roll over in a second. There’s no question who would win there, the only poll that didn’t show Palin dominating was the pure garbage one from the unabashed pro-Mirkowsky anti-Palin radio guy. I don’t think Mirkowsky sees any merit in getting her ass handed to her, taking away any opportunity she might have to pursue office ever again. I’d bet she’s drop out of the race and live to fight another day, especially considering that the senate seat would probably open up again in a few years when Palin ran for President.

Beg to disagree here. I don’t think it would be a good idea for Sarah Palin to challenge Lisa Murkowski for the Senate. After Palin’s moment in the national spotlight as VP nominee, and the formation of the Sarah PAC, most Alaskans probably know that Palin might run for President in 2012, and if they vote Palin over Murkowski, they might only get a two-year Senator, whereas Lisa Murkowski will already have 8 years in the Senate by 2010, and would serve a full term if re-elected, with more seniority on Senate committees than Palin would have.

Sarah Palin won the governorship over FRANK Murkowski based on her opposition to corrupt practices in the oil and gas industry, which is a major issue in Alaska. Lisa Murkowski managed to fend off charges of nepotism after her appointment by her father, and won re-election in her own right in 2004. If Sarah Palin wants to seek the Presidency, she will have to define herself on national ISSUES, not as a vendetta against the Murkowski family. She should run for re-election as Governor in 2010, let Lisa Murkowski run for re-election to the Senate, and try to educate herself on national issues betweem now and 2012.

As for Gov. Jindal refusing the Federal funding, bravo! He will definitely need to explain this well, both to the people of Louisiana and to the nation in his rebuttal to Obama’s speech, but the man is BRILLIANT, and this could be his chance to gain stature with the American people.

As for a Jindal/Palin battle for the GOP nomination in 2012, it’s probably better for them to cooperate and possibly campaign as a team, and let the voters decide between them. Gov. Palin sent Alaska National Guard troops and equipment to Louisiana (with Jindal’s approval) just prior to Hurricane Gustav to help with rescue efforts, BEFORE she was nominated for VP. Jindal and Palin probably like each other politically and see more interest in working together than competing with each other.

Clyburn and all Democrats have Black People enslaved to the government — Republicans want to free them from slavery ONCE AGAIN!

I don’t see the GOP wanting to cleanse itself of some of the evildoers in business.

Interesting that you should say that, why don’t you look at the political affiliations of the major names in the biggest scandals. What was the party affiliation of Madoff? Or the guy who ran Fannie May? Or Countrywide? Or Goldman Sachs? Marion Sandler? The list goes on and on and on.

Maybe your side should cleanse their evildoers, not appoint them to cabinet posts like Gorelick, former vice chairman of fanny mae 97-03 earning $26m in six years. During that time FM suffered a $10B accounting scandal and falsified transactions to help FM his earning targets which insured Gorelick and others got their bonuses. Then there’s Franklin Raines, a huge contributer and adviser to Obama, he was the former Chairman and CEO of FM (Gorelick’s boss) he oversaw the acceleration of the subprime mortgage lending by both Fannie and Freddie. He pulled in a $90m bonus from mostly bogus earnings based on cooked books. And the list goes on..

A good chuckle here and there, but nothing overly “offensive”.

Any link available yet with Jindal on MTP?

Well, it’s not much worse than a very left-leaning version of HA with respect to the article.

I think she’s [Sarah Palin] the most viable female candidate for President out there

Sarah Palin will not win more than 100 electoral votes, if she gets the nomination.
