If Sarah Palin Gets in the Race, She Will be the Candidate to Beat

Quote
RUSH: I wanted to develop something a little further today that I didn't have time to get into in great detail yesterday, and it's about Palin. As you know I have no brief for Palin, I've not chosen anybody, I've not anointed anybody, I've not endorsed anybody, and I'm not prepared to today; that's not the point of this. But I can't let this go by, all of these things that are happening, this continued effort to literally destroy her. I mean I understand the Democrats wanting to do it, but there are people on our side engaging in this. That's unseemly.

Now, for all of the stated Republican opposition to Sarah Palin, if she gets in the race, and you heard it here first, and don't doubt me, she is going to end up being the one to beat. Now, I'm not gonna mention any names here because it's not the point, but I have spoken to a number of people in the Republican presidential field. >>>

I make it a point to bring up Palin because I want to see how they react >>> I've not talked to all of them (the Republican Presidential candidates), of course, but I've not heard one of them just lambaste her like you see other Republicans doing. If she does decide to get in the race, and I have no idea about that, she will be the one to beat.

Now, there's a reason McCain picked her. He picked her ostensibly against the wishes of the party at large. He picked her because he needed somebody fresh and energetic to restart his floundering campaign, and it worked. And anybody who's willing to be honest will tell you that the crowds that were drawn during the McCain campaign stops were due to Sarah Palin. And the energy that she brought to that campaign was unmistakable, and the attachment that Republican voters had to her was also unmistakable. Now, we've gone through all the reasons Republicans don't want her in the race, the insiders versus the outsiders, the Beltway elites and all that, the consultants, GOP operatives. They don't want her in the race not because they fear she will lose. >>> No.  They don't want her in the race not because they fear that she can't beat Obama. They don't want her in the race because they are afraid she can beat others in the Republican field for the nomination, leaving them on the outside looking in.  

Look at it this way. With as much piling on of Sarah Palin as there has been on our side, if she gets in and if she wins, look at all of the people on our side who are by virtue of the way they've treated her up 'til now out of it. They will have no role.

But I do know she's not stupid, and I do know that she is highly competitive, and I do know that she's willing to go to the throat, and I do know that she keeps score. Because everybody in politics does. And she's certainly in politics. So all of this, "Rush, you can't win, I mean 41% of Republican voters..." I have never in my life put it to you this way. I have never in my life seen the Democrat Party and its media operatives spend so much time destroying somebody who didn't have a prayer anyway.  This woman is so stupid, she's got the entire press corps chasing her bus all up and down the East Coast >>>

NPR: Palin Gets Her Revolutionary History Right - Robert Allison

================================

Washington insiders have botched up the fed govt and the US economy. It will take a firm leader to bring us back from the brink. I wouldn't be surprised if whatever she does, it was the first time it's done that way. Don't expect her to jump through all the hoops that republicans have been reflexively jumping through for the old media. She will do what she does when she wants to, where she wants to and how she wants to. Because she won't fit the template, the competition and the media won't know how to play her. If she runs and wins, it will be indicative that God's grace still rests with America. If Obama wins, we had all better have our lives in order with the Lord because all hell is gonna break loose in this country.

I will. They wont shut up about her because shes a sideshow. The difference between a sideshow and a threat is the difference between a roman candle and a firearm.

A roman candle could do some damage, sure. But thats not what its for, and thats not why people buy them. They buy them because they make pretty sparks and are fun to look at.
Id take a .44 over a roman candle any day.

Palin says silly thigns at times and gets media attention. So does Charlie Sheen.

Im sorry, thats simply not true. This isnt a matter of defending that asshole its a matter of reality. Obama is still a political powerhouse even after his failure of a term. And unless the Republicans pull their heads out of their asses and soon hes probably going to win again unfortunatly.

Palin simply isnt popular. She has a very die hard fanbase but outside of that base she really alienates people, especially moderates(which are key in the election). I think Ronald Reagen Jr. put it best:

Quote
"Sarah Palin is a soap opera, basically," Ron Reagan Jr. told The Associated Press on Friday. "She's doing mostly what she does to make money and keep her name in the news."

"She is not a serious candidate for president and never has been," Reagan added.

Once again, such a concise and well worded argument. You totally adressed every point I made in this thread and havent just brushed me off with one image. Totally.

If you plan on posting then please try and contribute SOMETHING to the discussion.

I am trying to understand why a self-described RINO would excerpt ANYTHING from that POS Ron Reagan Jr.    Baffling actually.

I don't think the far left is praying for Sarah to run.   Her base presently is far more committed to her than Obama's entire base (look no further than the constant whining he isn't progressive enough from lunatic sites such as Daily Kos, Huffington, DU and the like).

Obama has some problems.  I certainly wouldn't consider him  a powerhouse presently.   

I think this is anyone's race right now.   I am not even close to deciding who will get my vote in the primaries.   I honestly don't see Palin running, but if she does she will play to win.   Only a damn fool would count her out in an Obama v. Palin ticket.

Barry's power lies in the Office of the Presidency and in the black community. He himself holds very little sway anymore, particularly in the minds of those who are dealing with the aftereffects of his policies -- economic and otherwise.

I've always liked Palin, but I think the conservative elite class will continue to downplay her ability to communicate with the people and the libs, of course, will continue to find every opportunity to bash her.

For this election, I believe her calling is to be the undeclared candidate as long as possible. That'll keep 'em guessing and keep the pressure and presence on her, particularly for the inevitable badmouthing.

Ronnie is a far-left lunatic.   So agreeing with a lunatic helps you how exactly?   Is she turns off moderates then you surely could have found a moderate to quote easily I would imagine.   

She isn't running for president.  I think she is far more effective doing what she is doing now -- raising money and supporting candidates.
