A little more than one-third of Republicans say they would vote "enthusiastically" for either Mitt Romney or Rick Santorum if either candidate were to win their party's nomination for president. Slightly fewer say they would vote enthusiastically for Newt Gingrich. This level of enthusiasm is similar to Republicans' feelings about voting for Romney in early 2008, but lower than the enthusiasm level for that year's eventual GOP nominee, John McCain.
Did you get that, the enthusiasm level for Romney is actually twelve points lower than it was for John McCain at this time.
Do we remember what the McCain campaign decided they needed for a "game changer" in order to bring back the GOP base?

| Palin speaks on March 18, at the Food City pre-race ceremonies. |
Romney would NEVER voluntarily put Palin on the ticket after the shit she's pulled. But then who else?
Rick Santorum? Not likely as his numbers are even lower than Romeny's
Then who could possibly bring Romney that much needed Evangelical support?
Michele Bachmann? Nah, she's as stupid as Palin.
Rick Perry? Same problem. (Though he DOES have bigger breasts!)
My feeling is that he needs an Evangelical woman. And it would certainly not hurt that she was also a governor.
But don't worry, despite my good friend Geoffrey Dunn's recognition of Palin's ultimate, and ultimately doomed, end game there is NO WAY the establishment GOP will let her anywhere near the 2012 ticket.
Though to be honest they may not really want Romney anywhere near the ticket either.
Sucks to be them!

DeleteSarah is in campaign mode though. NASCAR appearances to rile up "her base;" speaking at a very conservative Christian women's group; throwing down red meat for all the mouth breathers on FOX. You betcha she's running.
ReplyDeleteWhat will it take to stop her? Even when she doesn't get her wish to be drafted at a stalled convention, she'll ride the victim train for a few more years to keep her PAC and her dreams alive. She's the Freddy Kruger of the GOP.
Sarah Palin, "the Freddy Kruger of the GOP."
Deleteding, ding, ding - we have a winner - good one, Crystal Sage!
Nah. Freddy was at least somewhat charming. She's more like Michael Myers -- too bad she can't keep her ignorant mouth shut the way he did.
DeleteIf Romney is looking for an evangelical woman, I'd suggest Bob McDonnell.
ReplyDeleteOkay, just to be totally, completely superficial:
ReplyDeletea grey suit jacket and dirty, messy hair do not shout "Presidential" to the rest of the world.
a grey suit jacket and dirty, messy hair do not should "NASCAR" to me, either.
her appearance is an insult to those who invited her. Has she never heard of a comb, or colors that complement her coloring, or that fit? Or that look clean?
There's no way on earth that she'll be on a Republican ticket, or in any position of power or influence. She's too toxic. And she's the antithesis of Romney, who, whatever his faults, values family, education, self-control. He's got both a J.D. and an MBA from Harvard. I'll bet all of his sons went to college and are gainfully employed. He can speak French!
He would recoil if he had to spend more than ten minutes with the Wasilla hillbilly and her clan. He doesn't suffer fools gladly.

Hell probably have to pick Santorum because he is going to need those delegates. I know that there is talk that he and Ron Paul have some deal but Paul doesn't have many delegates and the only thing Romney can promise him is a primetime speaking engagement at the convention and.. Uh.. Good lock not turning off independent voters with that!
ReplyDeleteWasn't there some sort of agreement between Sarah and the RNC for paying off her legal fees that she would work fundraisers for the party. I don't think she did one, just ones that paid her direct. They should bring this up and embarrass her in public. Not one fundraiser for the party or any speeches on Down Syndrome. What a way to go, Sarah prefers to speak at racetracks.....
ReplyDeleteIf Sarah is waiting for 2016, more crap will come out. Todd affairs will be proven, more babies for her girls, and people coming forward to tell truth on Sarah's secrets. The best is yet to come...
ReplyDeleteMarco Rubio will be the VP choice.
ReplyDeleteHe already said he isn't interested.
DeleteTwo things with Rubio that will haunt him:
DeleteHis false story/lies as to when his parents and the reason of immigrating.
The Blunt-Rubio Bill that just went down in defeat but Rubio is part of it.
Credit card abuse as well, he had a party credit card and used it freely for personal and family purchases, big $$$$$. It was covered up as much as possible and he essentially got a pass.
DeleteRubio will NOT pull in any Hispanics votes, who are not already conservative Repubs. Liberal and moderate Hispanic know he is not one of them. They are not foolish enough to vote for Rubio the Repub.

Let's not let what these people "SAY" get in the way of Truth and Facts.
Months ago, Chris Christy said that he "wasn't interested in running for presidnet but if ask, would seriously consider a spot as vp". Just this past week, Christy made a campaign appearance for Romney. IMO, Christy will be on Romney's short list.
DeleteOh, I don't know, maybe he'll "go rogue" choose Calista! That would be a game changer!
DeleteI am just waiting for the Democrats to come out. They have said nothing about Sarah. I bet they have the proof on a ton of stuff on her and are just waiting for the right time. The GOP probably has the same proof, but too embarrassed to bring it forward.
ReplyDeleteShe's not running so why would Dems waste time and more important, give her the attention she's craving for. Won't happen.
DeleteB/c they need her to sit down and shut the fuck up that's why.
DeleteMakin' noises about a brokered convention, Flappin' her big fuckin' mouth. Deliver the coup de gras to make her STFU 4Ever!

They won't even report on the Toad's pimping!
This brokered convention is nothing but crap talk. Mitt Romney could very well gain all the count he needs...even though the media is playing games with everything.
DeleteWatch the media - they are playing it every step of the way. Thank God, they are not following idiot Palin like they use to! She no longer has any relevance to the upcoming elections.
They have said nothing about Sarah. 12:18 PM
DeleteWhy would they? She is a Repub problem. She is an enormous HELP to Dems. They couldn't ask for a better situation. Palin shows what all Repubs are. Except the few that tell the truth, of course. THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN SARAH PALIN BEING THE WHOLE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Not literally, but symbolic woman that is the Repub PARTY. If she gets close to being a threat to a contender or that brokered deal she'll be taken out in a NY nano-second.
She is just making money and building up her empire on fraud. Repubs should be ashamed for that alone, they are self destructing. Most are cowards. A few good ones left and they are weak now.
I believe Geoffrey is spitting in Sarah´s eye when he raises the subject of her running. The topic of her throwing her hat in the ring came across as a self-serving prick tease. Sarah had painted herself in a corner and ended up blaming the Good Lord, our Heavenly Father, for not running. In her mind, Sarah had successfully ended all discussion of her candidacy. Unfortunately for her, people know Sarah can´t resist the urge to tease. They dangle the artificial lure in her face, bobbing it up and down, jerking it to and fro, making her swallow it. It is a reflex response buried deep in her reptilian brain. Sarah cannot help making a fool out of herself.
ReplyDeleteShe is looking dirty again, does that woman EVER wash her hair?
ReplyDeleteAre you serious? Wash her hair? Do you know how much work is involved? Sarah would risk washing away her makeup baselayer if she washed her hair. You, obviously, are clueless to how much time and effort and energy go into applying Sarah´s baselayer. Sarah´s skin has the same texture and support as a male scrotum. Sarah knowing how to hide her complexion is admirable. Don´t even think about fucking laughing.
DeleteBack off the dirty hair.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww she is so nasty filthy! Her hair looks like she slicked it with grease. She must stink to high heaven. It just give me the heebie geebies to even think about getting near her. Dirty, nasty, gross, clueless, skanky...all words that come to mind when I see her looking like she is in public. Can you IMAGINE how horrific she is when she is in private and 'lets herself go'????
DeleteI have to go take a shower now to wash off the stench that is Sarah. <>
If you look at those scraggly bangs from just the right angle they look like fingers or a gardening cultivator coming down to rip her face off.

DeleteCrystal Sage is right - Sarah is in campaign mode. She's going to jump in to the fray. Don't know when or how, but she's going to go for it. She is fucking crazy and thinks she can pull it off - it's actually the perfect time to try with the disenchantment of the base. The minute it is clear that none of the current wanna-bes won't have the delegates, Sarah is going to find a way to be the savior who bucks the establishment and denies them the opportunity to "shove Mitt down our throats" - I can hear her now. Fun, fun, fun. Go fer it Sarah.
ReplyDeleteProbably why she was in Vegas last week cozying up to Adelson. He looks like a 'dirty old man' so she hiked the skirt up, put on her 'Belmonts' and went to work!!!
DeleteI forget what you guys call her 'red shoes' as I'm sure she had them with her too!!
ROFL!!!
She is campaigning. I have a friend that is in the Rolling Stones, he also passes for normal and alright a lot of the time. He sings in a band, he knows it is the Stones and everyone else is crazy, kind of like Sarah campaigns. He, too, has friends that go along with it all, they sing at local music fests. He is a War Vetern and they are all on some form of psych meds. He has a better sense of style and a much better voice. Let her campaign and believe what she wants. Her days as a fraud will come to an end.
DeleteWell - there's Nicky Haley, or Jan Brewer,
ReplyDeleteThere's Jodi Rell (but probably too moderate) or Jane Swift (but she's not been governor for a while).
or maybe Mary Falin, Susana Martinez, although I've never heard of these guys. Just know them as Republican governors from conservative states.
Not a lot of pickings. Rubio sounds like a good tactical choice.
Has SP thought about hte scrutiny and vetting she might get if she prevailed at a brokered convention. I think SP is sort of in the Scarlett O'Hara MOD - "I'll think about that tomorrow"
Do you actually foolishly think Rubio is the great brown hope to pull in the Hispanic vote? Think again. Hispanic voters know he is NOT one of them.

DeleteSarah doesn't have a shot in hell for 2012. Sarah will never draw the crowds she did in 2008 because she was 'new' then, people were curious, she's not new anymore. She has a track record in the lower 48.
ReplyDeleteShe's been elevated to a national level and even though it's not the MSM that's doing it, information is slowly leaking out about her and her past and she can't stop it. Shailey's book is a good example.
She is old news with really only a few articles covering her, if you check into Google News, it's no where close to where it was. The international media barely mentions her, her facebook ghostwritten rants are mostly ignored, her tweets as well. There was a time when her tweets and FB posts made front page news. Not any more.
She is a has been in pretty much every circle of power except her rabid followers and a few pundits that publicly defend her if it suits their agenda, but privately they just laugh at her.
She no longer commands big bucks with her screeches, she is the one that mostly interjects herself in the news, with invites diminishing every day. She looks for events that she can show up at to take advantage of the crowds already there...like her latest NASCAR photo op. The crowds were already there, she just sauntered in to bask in the glory.
She's seen on Fox and that is mostly what she can attribute to ANY sort of continued presence in people's minds and she mostly reinforces all the things that have been said about her in truth telling Palin books like Dunne and McGinniss, etc, and in Game Change.
And of course by the diligent, precise, dogged work for the bloggers like Gryphen, we are eternally thankful for without it, so much of the Palin mystique, the BIG MYTH would continue to be perpetuated by the MSM and Palin and no one would know the REAL truth of things.
Great comment. The applause Sarah hears today is the after glow from 2008. People are trying to be polite. Under the surface, however, is total disdain. Conservatives dislike her more than Democrats.
Delete¨The people who know her best like her least.¨

DeleteI predicted as Romney-Santorum slate a long time ago and it looks like it may happen. I'm old enough to remember how Kennedy held his nose and offered the vice-presidential slot to LBJ. It was the only way he could have won the election. Kennedy's Catholicism was a big drawback in the South. LBJ carried the South for Kennedy. Romney has no chance of pulling in the far right and the South. Santorum can. Politics do make strange bedfellows. All this posturing is covering up deep negotiations going on behind the scenes between Romney's people and Santorum's people.
ReplyDeleteI don't see it - a Mormon and a Catholic that is on the extreme right? Doesn't make one bit of sense to me.
DeleteSantorum is too, too devisive - very much like Palin.
Kris has left a new comment on the post "Bristol Palin has a blog? WTF?":
ReplyDeleteSounds like Gryphen's jealous that Bristol's got a blog. Haha By the way, Anonymous seems to be a very popular name on here. Kinda like Muhammad in the Middle East. Seems like there are a lot of cowards on here. Otherwise, you'd use your real names. I'm Kristy Patullo. Proud Palin supporter. I like to slum on Gryphen's blog now and again to study the PDS sufferer. This is a person who believes that Sarah Palin did not birth her own baby. That Bristol Palin has been pregnant for 3 years, and has multiple babies. That posing in Playgirl and Playboy is a brilliant career move. But only if you are a Palin hater. (see Levi Johnston, Mercede Johnston and Meghan McCain) And that the First Dude of Alaska is really a pimp in disguise. These people don't have any proof of any of this, but they believe it, anyway. Because if they didn't, what would make their life worth living? Certainly not having to watch the Palin's become more and more popular. And more and more successful. This thought eats at them every day. They accuse Bristol of being a coward, because she doesn't want to talk to that cow, Meghan McCain. But they totally dismiss the fact that she took on an effing lunatic in a gay bar. And won. So, yes, these people are quite delusional. And most of them need a ghostwriter, themselves, because they can't seem to string a sentence together. Their spelling is atrocious. And they are overall lame in their commentary. Now, I know Gryphen will post this, because you all believe in free speech, right? I mean, you do when it comes to the Palin's. So I look forward to seeing my comment posted very soon. : )
When you're discussing the Palin family, please write "Palins," not "Palin's" with an apostrophe, which indicates a single Palin is in possession of something or other.
DeleteThanks for slumming, but why not go back to sane sites such as "IamAndrewBreitbart."

Wow. Bristol's got a blog as do thousands and thousands of other people.
DeleteWhy would this make Gryphen jealous?
"Anonymous" is as common as "Sarah" in the midwest. Your attempt at a racial slam is a failure.
To "birth" a baby is not standard English. One gives birth to a baby -- transitive verb.
There is primary-source proof that Todd Palin is a pimp and a bully. Nice try.
My life is very worth living, which is why I want the low-life, know-nothing Palins and their robotic followers to keep their hands off our country.
Boy, you certainly sound like a real sweetheart and to be somewhat delusional about the Palin clan! Sounds like you need to do some vetting on the subject!
DeleteThis little rant reminds me of a little gang of kids that dares one of them to do something outrageous...'no YOU do, no YOU do it, I dare ya, I double dog dare ya' and the imbecile with the lowest self esteem steps up thinking that it will make them appear tough.
DeleteSo this little twat steps up and says 'I'll do it' and trots on over the Gryphen's blog and 'tells him a thing or two', smugly reporting back to her cohorts how she 'told him good' and everyone read her post because she can count on it being posted since Gryphen believes in 'free speech'.
Then they all titter and giggle about how they 'got him good', when in fact all they did was reveal how ignorant and small minded they were, how racist and bullying they were, how much of a poor excuse of a human being they are.
Yep, that junior high mentality is so easy to spot. What is terribly sad is that this poor little girl thinks that she is WINNING in life with this petty kind of behavior, when, in fact, she is sliding into the abyss of ignorance.
She gets all puffed up for a minute or two, and then she right goes back to knowing that she's really a big piece of shit and no one really much wants her around, as she gets more and more desperate to be noticed and therefore resorts to increasingly stupid ass actions and statements.
She's learned well from her toxic mentor, Sarah Palin.
Nice to meet you, Kristy. Of course, Gryph would post your comment. He posts the comments of people a great deal more agitated than you.
DeleteIt must be irritating to live in a state whose governor supports the POTUS. Cheer up and find a new challenge. May I suggest learning the ins and outs of paragraphs.

Their coach over looked their phsically abusing other boys in the locker room. Jeremy Morlock's sister was Bristol's best friend. Sarah Palin was the mother for the hockey team (whatever that means.) Todd Palin dated Jeremy's mother before he moved to Wasilla. It was the Morlock's vacant house Willow trashed causing $20K or $30K in damages. I would like to know if Track Palin seved in the same 5th Stryker Brigade. Further, Sarah Palin judges people by their associations, Is she and hers to be judged by these associations?" bt

Always said she would enter late and as a third party candidate.
ReplyDeleteShe has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
She will bolster her credentials for Fox. She will get lots of donations. She may even convince Gingrich to have her as his VP candidate.
She is all about sarah and feels the party, no, the world owes HER!!! She knows why they lost the last time and she is damn well going to change that!
If she sits it out, she can always milk it and say, If I had run.... But this way if she enters late, she can be right up there for 2016.
Let the vetting begin!!! Of sarah palin of course.
If Palin ran, she wouldn't be on FOX any longer and I truly doubt they'd support her - from all I've read, too many there don't like her at all!
DeleteAnd, Gingrich would NEVER run in second position to her! Oh my God! But, it might be fun watching them together for as long as it would last. They'd kill each other - two, huge, huge egos! They'd both end up QUITTING!
She may fantasize about a third-party bid, but surely that would be the cue for Peerublican powers-that-be to take her down, once and for all.
DeleteIf Romney wins the nomination, why should he pander to the Evangelicals? Who else are they going to vote for? They're Anyone But Obama first and foremost.
ReplyDeleteHe'd score points with Independents by picking a qualified moderate, not a fire-breathing right-winger.
The mainstream GOP isn't going to put money into a rabid back-to-to-the-19th c. vice presidential candidate.
He could save the Republican Party from itself if he had the courage to do it.
If Santorum wins GOP, Bachmann is the VP nom. She's a cash cow, and she's really not much nuttier than him. Sadly, they will be a formidable team -- they can bank money from the fringe and be telegenic enough to run a serious campaign to recapture the middle class.
ReplyDeleteIf Romney wins GOP, I think it would take Jeb Bush to give him a real game change. Otherwise, if he goes for an establishment VP, he'll be seen as boring. If he goes for a Palin type, he'll be seen both as lacking conviction and following a losing playbook.
I think Sarah, Todd, and especially the AIP really want her in the White House, but I’ve read Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, and I judge it to be mostly true.
ReplyDeleteIf she were to win such a position, I’m pretty sure the “jackals” would be sent after her. It’s no joke. I don’t like her, but I wouldn’t wish that on her.

but remember people really do not vote for the VP.
ALL THE NONSENSE ABOUT PALIN ETC HELPING THE TICKET IS PURE bs.
those people are ALL repigs anyways and would never vote for a dem let alone a black dem.
people vote according to how things are going in their own lives because very FEW have a clue about issues.
so Obamas going to need a decent economy to win.
any attack against Iran for ex. loses him the election for certain.
remember..their are only a few states that are really in play to win the presidency.
fl. pa. ohio etc, the usual suspects.
states like the cult of utah would elect hitler if he was on the republican ticket.
so yes its still all about the economy.
It'll be Mitch Daniels
ReplyDeleteNope, don't think so - he's got too much baggage attached to him now too. The Republicans are a sorry, sorry lot!
DeleteAnd....... Do you see what has happened to Nascar since they gave Sarah a format, they are in the tank! look at the empty seats at each race,
ReplyDeleteI used to think it was going to be our illustrious Gov McUltrasound from here in VA, but now I'm convinced with will either be Rand Paul (tea party fundie southerner) or possibly Pawlenty, since he exited the race so early. I figured TPaw, who doesn't have a job, made a deal with Romney.
ReplyDeleteIt won't be Rubio, he's got a lot of sketchy baggage.
There is NO WAY IN HELL that Bachmann will be put back in the mix. She pulled in GUTTER results and where she may be 'photogenic' she has too big of an ego to play well. She stirs up controversy and says stupid shit all the time. But Santorum isn't gonna win...won't happen. Mitt will be the candidate and Obama will SLAUGHTER him electorially and for the popular vote. Sarah Palin is a non issue.
ReplyDeleteMitt will go to the Right, he's too stupid not to. And Mitt won't choose a woman. He just won't. If he did, it would most likely be Nikki Haley, but his indoctrination in Mormonism doesn't cater at all to female political power.
If Rubio were up for it, that would be a smart political choice, but Rubio isn't for obvious reasons. First and foremost he isn't interested.
Jeb Bush isn't interested either, but I don't count him as a smart choice, it's just too soon to put a Bush name back in the national conversation. If you notice, NO ONE is singing HIS praises during this campaign, they're all harkoning back to Reagan. No one ever mention GHW Bush either. Curious.
Romney will have to come up with a 'Game Change' of his own, and Gingrich, Santorum, Paul are not it. Neither are the other heavyweights that have bowed out of the presidential campaign, Christy, Pawlenty, Daniels, that Mississippi blowhard, none of them would take second billing when they had their eyes on the prize of the presidency, so they're waiting it out until 2016.
Romney's choices for VP are as barren as his chances of beating Barack Obama. He's fucked.

Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women – she loves to browse.
Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Target:
Dear Mrs. Harris,
Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behaviour and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Harris, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras:
1. June 15: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people’s carts when they weren’t looking.
2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women’s restroom.
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, ‘Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away’. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money.
5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway
6. August 14: Moved a ‘CAUTION – WET FLOOR’ sign to a carpeted area.
7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he’d invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged.
8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, ‘Why can’t you people just leave me alone?’ EMTs were called.
9.. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.
10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.
11. October 3: Darted around the Store suspiciously while loudly humming the ‘ Mission Impossible’ theme.
12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his ‘Madonna look’ by using different sizes of funnels on his chest.
13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, he yelled ‘PICK ME! PICK ME!’
14. October 22: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a
fetal position and screamed ‘OHNO! IT’S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!’
15. Took a box of condoms to the check out clerk and asked where the fitting room was?
And last, but not least:
16. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, and then yelled very loudly, ‘Hey! There’s no toilet paper in here.’
One of the clerks passed out.
That last one had me spitting out my drink while howling til tear ran...but maybe that's just me.
God, that was good!!
DeleteLove it! I will share with my husband, and no I am not a shopper.
DeleteFunny! Thanks for sharing!
DeleteWell, sure, but who hasn't done that?
DeleteIt's Sunday...

The growth of that little one is stunning!
You people are nuts. Worrying about who the Repubs will run. If you are a Dem, why do you care?
ReplyDeleteAre you new to American politics? Go read about how elections work. Start with Wikipedia: American Electoral Process.
DeleteI am so glad that #TheRoadWeTraveled came out…It’s getting great reviews and turning Republicans to vote for PBO, amazing how Media failed the public.. many people had no ides of all his accomplishments until this movie.
ReplyDeleteHere are some samples of what people are posting:
Thank-you. That is all I have to say. He has showed us the true meaning of pulling together. He put politics aside for one cause, The United States of America. I am a die hard Republican but I love the U.S.A. He has given hope to the “vanishing” middle class of pursuing the American dream. It proves just what our founding father Washington said in his Farewell Address, stay away from political parties. Obama Biden 2012
Dear Mr. President, To my shame and regret I was raised a Republican and was fed many lies to which this moment I believed… Your the embodiment of what this country needs in a President. You sir have demolished every false impression, opinion, and utter lies I believed till now. No longer will I waste my time arguing amongst fellow Americans on who needs to be in office when the man for the job is already there. You have earned my vote in November! Obama 2012
You watch this, and you think about all Obama has done, then you hear the Republicans call him an evil, socialist, anti-American Muslim traitor and you just think... what world are these people living in that they can actually call this man the worst President in modern history?

Snowe, Collis and Merkowskie are failrly moderated REpublicans, and they all have at least average intelligence, when they are allowed to speak for themselves.
ReplyDeleteWhat would Sarah do if Lisa were picked for the VP slot?
And can I have a front row seat on the isle.
Maybe we should start a false front site to promote Lisa.
Wasn't there a big campaign to teach folks to spell Murkowski?
DeleteNext thing you know, she'll be the guest announcer for bingo games at local veteran's halls.
ReplyDeleteSomewhat OT - but certainly related to spreading the truth about who the Palins really are to head her off at the Pass, if she is indeed thinking about trying to run for ANY political office - even "Fence Sitter"! Here's a link to report sex trafficking ala Todd Palin = from Nicholas Kristof's article/s on sex trafficking girls at the NYT -
ReplyDeletehttp://www.polarisproject.org/index.php
the trafficking hotline run by Polaris Project: 1-888-3737-888
I haven't yet visited to see what it entails to make a report, but that's what my next step is! I also was able to get a comment through moderation at the NYT and able to leave a link re: "Boys Will Be Boys". Don't know how long it'll remain, but hopefully it helps to chip away at the unvetted Palin Charlatans! I hope others who support outing the true Palin "Christian Family Values" as well as lifting the Media blackout of Shailey's story will also comment at NYT advocating that. Ironic that Kristof was one of the politicos on that AK cruise who met and promoted Palin to the GOP - but, hey - if they are allowing such commenting through - take advantage of it!
@Marleycat, Nick Kristof is quite different than Bill Kristol.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was just informed of that at Shailey's blog - I have no idea how I got the two names mixed up - thank you and my apologies to everyone, especially Mr. Kristof. I have occasional mishaps with MS Brain Fog - and the wrong name or word gets
ReplyDeleteswitched inadvertently/unknowingly even when I know the right name/word. However - very good articles by Kristof AND the rest of my comment is all factual as to the links! And, for the most part 99% of my comments don't contain these "mental typos", thank goodness! Still, time to lay low until this particular brain fog passes or I'll be unaware of when I post personally identifying contact information by mistake! Thanks so much for the correction!
So, how is Milquetoast Mitt, who cannot excite even 50% of the most devoted people in the GOP, going to spread Mitt fever across the nation in a way that will bind Dems, independents, and GOP voters alike in support of Señor Flácido?
ReplyDeleteI just don't see it happening.
Shit, Milquetoast Mitt makes BOB DOLE seem like more of a stud - E.D. and all - than Romney.
A couple of women recently swooned at Obama events. The only people tipping over at Romney events are those that succumb to boredom.
Jan Brewer?
ReplyDeleteRomeny's going to have quite a slog, if he's below McCain at this point, and his quirky non ability to connect with people, bad singing, and bragging about his 1 percent buddies, the only chance for him to win is finding a conservative woman other than palin. So basically, he's screwed his foot to the floor and can only run circles while President Obama gains momentum.
ReplyDeleteSucks to be a Republican.
Mitt isn't dumb enough to run with either Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann. It's also likely that he realizes that two pasty faced old white guys standing together on stage isn't going to cut it either. He needs a woman or a minority or both for a running mate. With all the woman bashing that's been going on a woman has become almost mandatory so they can deny that the GOP is at war with women. New Mexico's first term Governor, Susana Martinez is an interesting possibility. She's obviously smarter that Bachmann and Palin combined. Someone with a thicker resume would be even better. Running with another woman whose primary qualification is her plumbing would be political suicide.
ReplyDeleteElder Romney can not and will not pick a woman as his running mate.
ReplyDeleteA couple of decades ago, when the VP basically went to funerals and chatted up the leadership of other countries, it may have been possible. However, VPs now have some real authority, based upon their portfolios, and often negotiate fairly sensitive issues. Mormons don't treat women as equals in business, and certainly wouldn't want them in government, giving orders to their staff.
Piyush Jindal may be a consideration: he isn't black nor hispanic, he is from The South, and he would bring energy and color to a really boring and self-contained candidate. He was born Hindu and switched to Catholicism, yet "[i]n 2007, Jindal ran for governor again and won. The victory was largely attributed to old-fashioned politicking, which included Jindal "giving testimony" in Pentecostal and Baptist churches in rural and remote sections of Louisiana."
http://www.usnews.com/news/campaign-2008/articles/2008/05/22/10-things-you-didnt-know-about-bobby-jindal
Since he is a Rhodes Scholar, Jindal probably could hold his own if asked about what newspapers he reads. ;^)
Romney could also look for an Asian leader in government or in business. Economic warfare is as devastating as blowing things up, and harder to recover from in the long term. The entire Pacific region is "delicate" and choosing someone who understands the issues from both sides would be a decent idea. It would also be unexpected enough to get wake up the press.
Romney is at the same position in that poll as he was 4 years ago... despite spending multiple millions in saturation advertising. Even if he chooses an interesting and colorful sidekick, I just don't see him taking the Oath of Office next January. But, he'll have to try something.
Unfortunately for him Jindal is too ethnic for the GOP and too conservative for Romney. All that birther nonsense is based on a feeling that Obama represents a foreign influence. Jindal runs smack dab into the middle of those emotional responses. Regardless of his running mate's skin color the ticket will have to exude traditional white middle class values out of every pore.
DeleteAnd imagine what they would look like on stage. That ticket would shout desperation.
