Not a fan: Krauthammer calls Palin ‘rather weak’ and gives her ‘no chance of winning’ in 2012

Quote
Is the idea that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin could be America’s next president laughable? Not only to many on the left, but also to conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer.

On Friday’s broadcast of “Inside Washington,” Krauthammer offered several reasons why Palin shouldn’t be considered the presumptive Republican nominee for the 2012 presidential election.

“What do you mean if not Sarah Palin in 2012?” Krauthammer said. “Who’s saying she’s going to be the presidential candidate? I don’t even hear her saying it. Her chances of being are smaller than half a dozen other people. If you talk to Republicans, I don’t think there are what, more than one in three who would tell you she has a chance of winning the presidency or even the nomination.”

Because of that, he said, she wasn’t the favorite.

So What does he think of Sarah's position on the issues? Or is that irrelevant? This coming from the guy who went on the O'Reilly show to tell the world how 'smart' the New 'Comeback Kid' is. Its always a great laugh to watch the moonbat-commie-left beat their collective breast, slobber uncontrollably, rend their clothes, and bite themselves on the neck at the mere mention of her name.This is the same crowd that said precisely the same thing about Reagan - not smart enough, just an actor, extremist ... etc. Most of us are not old enough to remember how mocked he was before he even ran. No one. No one gave him even a slight chance of winning. (He ran 3X btw) The RINOs and Leftists are not afraid that Sarah Palin cannot win the election, they are afraid that she will.

Heres an idea Dr K. How about this time we use CLOSED primaries rather than letting republicrats like you and democrats cross over to nominate some worthless old RINO that none of the rest of us are interested in just because "it's his turn"? Hmm??

I don't think so either, but if she does, she has my vote. Unfortunately the primaries are pretty much decided by the time Illinois votes.

He's right. She's a joke. She's a brainless bimbo who should stick to what she knows best: "reality TV". Krauthammer and Gingrich could run circles around her.

Brainless bimbo? She has a degree. Do you? No, she shouldn't run. She has no chance, but not because she isn't qualified or doesn't have the ability to be an executive, she has no chance due to partisan politics and societal implications. Republicans can't run an unknown for President and win. Only Democrats can do that, hence the last election.

"I'm" voting for Herman Cain, should he run, because I'm SICK of Damn politicians. I want someone who knows what the **** an economy is and someone who knows what a budget is.

To call Palin a brainless bimbo only shows you to be an idiot. She's local folk, not a polished politician. That should be something that's coveted, not ostracized.

Please tell me you were being sarcastic.

Now do I think she should run?  No, but not for the reasons you outlined.  In reality, there are others just as conservative as her without being nearly as polarizing.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government.

That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I caught a repeat of Hannity's interview with her and I was impressed with how she spoke. However, over the course of the hour her voice did start to get irritating.  Not as bad as listening to Obama or even listening to President Bush.

Hi,

While I love Sarah Palin, I do not want her to run because she is such a polarizing figure. 

Suggest you read her book and read the last part written by one of the citizens of Alaska.  Judge her on what she accomplished and she was by far the most qualified of all the candidates in the last presidential election.

She took on the Republican establishment and got rid of a lot of the pork, then cut the Alaska budget down to where it should be.  She opened up reasonable drilling in the north slope and all Alaskans get royalty checks.  She cleaned house and did a damn good job of it.  That, by the way, has been her history along the way.  Politicians on both side of the aisle are terrified of her because she will actually use some common sense and it will rock their boat.  Why do you think the left, with cooperation of the media, is trying to demonize her so much, they are terrified of her.

Regards,
5412

I'd actually prefer Palin as head of the RNC, I think she and we would be better off reforming the Republican Party from within.

I would not mind that. She won against the establishment wing of the party in Alaska. She could clean house nationally too.

Still, Palin/Bachmann 2012 would be great.

If Palin chooses to stay in politics, this is where she belongs. Sadly, She is too polarizing to win outright, but she has the ability to raise massive amounts of cash and play kingmaker.

I don't care who or what runs as a the republican candidate, I'm voting for them.
