Nicolle Wallace on when she realized, that Sarah Palin realized, that she was over her head during the 2008 campaign.

Here are some quotes courtesy of TPM:  

"There was a moment shortly after I met her where I realized that she realized that she was in over her head," Wallace said. "Just watching her sort of shrink under the enormity and the scrutiny and the hot bright light of our national political process." 

"We should be happy when anyone wants to go into politics," the former GOP strategist continued. "We are really hard on our politicians and we should be happy when people want to jump in and do that." 

Williams asked whether Palin was a "crier." 

"No, I've seen George Bush more, cry more often than I've ever seen - no, no, she wasn't a crier," Wallace said. 

Williams then delved into Wallace's strained relationship with Palin. 

“I think she was really disappointed with the way she was being handled by the entire staff and I think I was a fair scapegoat,” Wallace said. “I was one of a very small circle of people helping her. And the decisions in hindsight weren’t good ones for her. I mean she didn’t look good. So it was fair to be mad at a staff person, that’s your job." 

"But there's nothing you can do as a staffer when you sort of lose the confidence of the principal and that's what happened through the course of the Couric interviews," Wallace continued.

That quote about not crying totally matches up with what I have been told about Palin.

Her go to emotion is anger, not sadness.

And Wallace is very magnanimous to suggest that it was fair for Palin to scapegoat her for Palin's own failings. That is another go to tactic of Palin's, to blame other people for her inadequacies.

I think this might be an opportunity to revisit exactly WHY Palin was so devastated by the loss in 2008.

I have heard from a number of people that she literally did not believe for a minute that she and John McCain were not going to emerge victorious. Therefore everything that was happening in Alaska, and the questions about Trig's parentage, and any scandals that might attach themselves to her or her family were going to be wiped away by the shear excitement resulting from the election of the first woman to the vice presidency.

One my new sources told me that Sarah "Does not think ahead. She simply does things and expects the details to work themselves out."

So with that in mind perhaps it is understandable WHY Palin was so upset that she was not being treated with great respect, and instead was being forced to answer the kinds of questions that as Governor she had always delegated to her subordinates to answer, and then being ridiculed for her ignorance.

Make no mistake, coming back to Alaska was a sign of failure. And she simply could not stand failing so publicly.

That is why scenes like the ones portrayed in Game Change happened. And why her appearance and mental health have continued to decline in the years since.

Essentially this brawl in Anchorage is just one more example of the public getting an up close and personal look at her failure. This time as a parent.

No wonder they are trying to hard so spin this in such a way as to make them appear to be the innocent victims.

      $carah and Taaahd ruled the roost in Alaska, through various scams and intimidating others. Big fish in small bowl (population wise) Here in the lower US, things are different, millions of people all seeing how dumb she truly is. The PayMe's could not use their mafia tactics down here. McCain is as stupid as they are, thinking he could scam us all into accepting this "less than" candidate for the VP spot. Wallace should be ashamed, since she WAS part of the scam. They put this country at risk of having a mental midget into power. Seeing how the W presidency worked out, they were willing to screw this country over AGAIN. True republican tactics, power at any cost. I have ZERO respect for Wallace, or the other flunkies who tried to polish the turd that is $carah PayMe. McCain never was presidential material, he is not much smarter than $carah.

    In 2008, I followed Nate Silver who kept predicting an Obama victory. And Obama did not squeak by with a narrow win, he won big. It was ignorance on the part of the McCain campaign not to look at all of the polls. They knew that they couldn't win in Michigan, so they pulled their money and people out Michigan in order to concentrate on a state that they could win. How did Sarah fail to see any of the warning signs, read any of the polls, or even think critically? Sarah disagreed with McCain, begging to go back to Michigan because she knew people there. It was lost.

    I think that it was Joe McGinniss who said in an interview that Sarah thought that she was picked by God and that God directed her life. That kind of thinking blinds her to reality. Yes, it is good to think positive, but Sarah does not deal with reality. I think that there must be a few times when reality does overwhelm her, times that they described in "Game Change" when Palin simply shut down. Her SPC is sinking. The Establishment Republicans rejected her in 2012 when they did not invite her to the convention. Her PAC just got ripped as one of the 9 worst PAC's. God has a way of dealing with people who abuse His name.

    I think Nicolle's comment about being too hard on our politicians is totally incorrect. If we were hard on our politicians, we would not have some of the total losers on board: Gohmert, Bachman, Walker, etc. That said, it really is the uneducated voters who are responsible for these choices - or maybe the voting machines, the backdoor fixes, etc. We are not hard enough on the people who want to "represent" us - many just want the title and the money and the retirement bonuses forever!

      I think it's horrifying that Wallace couldn't bring herself to vote because she was so horrified at the thought of Palin as VP, yet she waited until after the election to tell people what a train wreck Palin is.

      She did say, IIRC, that the campaign was working out some kind of contingency plan to ease Sarah out of the VP spot if they won. Sarah wouldn't have gone quietly, but maybe they had enough dirt to strong-arm her. Her followers probably would have taken up arms against McCain, though!

    Gryphen, at some point we would all, I suspect, be interested in your thoughts on what provides her 'teflon'. Living through her occupation of a cultural and political niche is just so nauseating; as it was living though Reagan and GWB. Does it go back to Andrew Breitbart and his exhortation that culture is upstream from politics? that she is an undeniable shrewd political animal (honey badger don't care...) and is following the scent as far as it will take her? (...sorry for the mixed metaphors, she gets me so riled!)

    I think the comment 'She simply does things and expects the details to work themselves out.' is very apt. She is ultimately a nihilist...it can all come crashing down and she will be following The North Star to her destiny. I just wish her destiny did not include our political system!

Totally prescient and on point to what we see today!: "Even as Sarah Palin’s public voice grows louder, she has become increasingly secretive, walling herself off from old friends and associates, and attempting to enforce silence from those around her. Following the former Alaska governor’s road show, the author delves into the surreal new world Palin now inhabits—a place of fear, anger, and illusion, which has swallowed up the engaging, small-town hockey mom and her family—and the sadness she has left in her wake.

Her shrinking nutcase base will grasp at any bendy straw they are offered, and maybe the GOP mainstream realizes a bit of damage control is in order, but if you look in the dictionary under laughingstock, you will find a picture of the Palins. Look at how the media spun Bristol's own story of being called ugly names: not that she was attacked, but that she was "slut-shamed." Kinda says the shoe fits, doesn't it? The Republican powers-that-be must be more aware than ever of what an albatross the woman is around the neck of the party, and doesn't that just break your heart.

    From the day she was sworn in as Wasilla Mayor, Sarah Palin, was in well over her head. She relied on the buddy system of enriching her friends and attacking those who spoke out against her. When she couldn't run little Wasilla, a city manager was hired which left Palin as a figurehead and mayor in title only. As Alaska's Governor, she again favored friends for jobs when they were not qualified and surrounded herself with Yes Maam flunkies who held her secrets for a paycheck instead of speaking out about her incompetence.

    But the thing I took away from this interview was the idea that Palin DID recognize she was WAY out of her depth. Which would totally humanize her and make me feel some sympathy except for the fact that instead of being humbled and rising up to become a better person because of it, she simply tripled down on being a venom spitting shrew. It became a super villain origin story.

    So I actually like her LESS as a result of hearing about this moment of painful self realization because it underscores what a truly reprehensible person she has become.

      Palin must have realized this when she was the governor. She couldn't do the work. The professionals who worked in Juneau did the hard work that made Sarah look good. They had worked for other governors and said that most people grow into the job. Sarah was dumb when she took the job and she never bother to learn a thing after she was sworn in. She let other people do the work and she took the credit. She moved from Juneau because so many people were on to her. For her to think that she could be a vice president when she could barely handle being the governor of Alaska is a joke.

She'll say 'just enough' about how stupid and incompetent Palin was, but not enough to make the Repubs look bad, only enough to belittle Palin (although not too much since it will then make McCain>Repubs looks bad.) And it will make HER seem gracious and 'magnamanious' as she delicately suggests what an idiot Sarah Palin was...she is dangerous because she will actually help brand the Repubs in a better light--in contrast to the crazies like Palin, Cruz, etc. out there She is the moderate AND MODERN Repub that the big money in the party know they have to appeal to in order to come back to the center

      Previous VPOTUS have had this to say about the office, so disregardign the possibility of her becoming POTUS (shudder) it may have been a good fit for her: Many Vice Presidents have lamented the lack of meaningful work in their role, from the very first Vice President, John Adams, who said "My country has in its wisdom contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived."[18] John Nance Garner, who served as Vice President from 1933 to 1941 under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, claimed that the Vice Presidency "isn't worth a pitcher of warm piss."[19] Harry Truman, who also served as Vice President under Roosevelt, said that the office was as "useful as a cow's fifth teat."[20]

(Didn't Sarah ever tell her kids that when the police question them, it's not a good idea to be stinking drunk and swear so much?) I'll be happy to laugh at Sarah, instead.

    Did you know that in addition to Track's broken ribs, there were black eyes, bruises on arms and legs. messed up knees and elbows. It's a wonder that the limo didn't head directly to the hospital, especially for those broken ribs. By the way, if you listen to the police recording of a drunken Track misspelling his last name (Palimo) he sounds too drunk to feel any broken ribs.

      The police screwed up big time. They needed to stick with business and get people ID and photos. The chaos the police created serves those with most money and power.

      Police need to be about protect and serve. Keep good records and get names and photos.

      @7:21 You don't like the photos and the because they are accurate recordings of what the Palins looked like and sounded like. The Palins were drunk. They were not hurt. Bristol refused medical attention.

      Cop: Bristol, do you need medics?
      Willow: No, she's mentally hurt. She's not physically, she's mentally...

      However, you like that word "manipulation" too much, so that kind of reveals who you are. I am surprised that you could read the captcha symbols.

      Actually, the police did the Palins a big favor by not pressing charges against anyone. It was a drunk fight and everyone had some degree of responsibility in it. If someone gets so drunk that they don't know what they are doing, they are partly to blame. Add all of that swearing, and we get a pretty accurate picture of of just how trashy the Palins sound. The chaos on the recordings is because the Palins are all screaming at once. Other people do not sound that hysterical.

      Sarah wrote on her facebook that there were broken ribs, bruises on arms, legs and Bristol's face. But Bristol would not let the police record the "bruises" on her face. None of the Palins went to the ER for emergency treatment of any wounds. Track's four broken ribs must have hurt.

    If KK and Connor Cleary don't defend themselves publicly about what happened, if other party goers who witnessed the fights -- who started the fights, etc. -- don't speak up against the Palin spin, then it's over. Sarah wins again.

    I understand the fear that Alaskans live with from the Palin Mafia, I get that. If I had the chance I'd ask the people who are afraid of speaking up, what's next? Where do you draw the line on what you will take from the Palin family? How about the man/men whose wives were being openly insulted by Track and his friend asking the women to go into the yard and "bend over"? We've been told that at least one of the husbands punched Track out for Track's insults to the man's wife. So what's that guy going to do next time? Will he just hand over his wife? What will the next Korey Klingenmeyer do, just stand in his own yard and let some drunken slut punch him repeatedly? Or if he defends himself at all by deflecting the blows, will he accept being called a sex offender? How about Track and Connor Cleary getting in a fight, Connor's dad stepped in to stop it (as any decent father would do), then the dad gets choked by Todd Palin. What's the next father going to do, just let Track and Todd get away with something like that and not fight back?

    The Palin family are bullies. They've made and maintain their reputations by intimidation and lies. At some point, the victims of that sort of thing have to draw a line and say "enough, no more". Or if not, then hand over your wives, daughters, sons and reputations and let the Palins spin the story to their own satisfaction. Just as they're doing this time.

    But that's exactly what Bristol did. She claims that she was thrown on the ground, held on the ground, assaulted and more. On the police tape where we hear Bristol crying hysterically and using plenty of four letter words, over and over. It's an example of what her behavior was at the party.
    The police said that she was quite intoxicated. Bristol was drunk at the party, too. Bristol also let us know that she went into the party looking for a fight, with the woman who pushed Willow. The host of the party stopped Bristol, a drunken hysterical swearing Bristol. Poor Bristol. Yes, Bristol is playing the victim card. She was drunk and swearing but she offered no apology for her bad behavior. She spoke to the police in that same drunken, crying voice, swearing with every other word. There is no defense for bad behavior. We all heard it.

      Violence against men isn't okay either. Just because a 23 year old woman decides that the host of a party at his house isn't the place for the the 23 yo and her 20 yo sister to "kick a bitch's ass", the 23 yo doesn't have the right to pepper him with punches -- whether thrown by her right hand or her left hand. Violence against a man in that case is not okay, in fact it is assault.

      Something else, Bristol, just because you say you are a conservative, most conservative women -- especially those claiming to be religious -- don't wear see-through "thong" or sarong dresses with their thong showing, nor do they get sloppy drunk and they don't shout "fucking this or fucking that...slut ... c**t..." repeatedly and they don't take their five year old child to an adult party and keep the child out until after midnight. YOU, Bristol, are not an example of a conservative woman.

    Vickie Jones Mrs Sarah Palin believes in God, shows her love for him, lives a wholesome life, her and her husband have raised their children to have morals and have respect, that is why people don't like them. i am greatful for a family like the Palins, thank you for standing up for what is right, thank you for being a great family, and most of all for believing and loving God, God bless you and all your generations family and friends.

    Walter Juraniec I'm not reading or watching any of this. It is NONE of my business.

    Richard W. Melby Is the DA going after these cowards? What kind of man attacks a young woman? He's famous alright, the most famous coward in the news!

    Clyde Ronnie Bragg Only the ignorant believe what the news media say. Except Fox News.

    Here's another angle to this story that gets me. According to Bristol, Korey Klingemeyer knocked her down and held her down until some white knights got him off of her. Did the police not think to ask who they were so they could be questioned? I guess if Bristol says it's so, that's good enough. Just another piece of the BS detective work performed by the APD if you ask me.

    I'm also extremely irritated by the way SP can be heard in the background referring to the police officers as "cops" as if they garner absolutely no respect from miss high-and-mighty. Gaaagh! This "chick" makes my blood boil!

    To run on the national stage, you have to deal with the national press corps and all those pesky questions. A Presidential campaign is a job interview and the press corps acts as the interviewers. If you cannot handle their questions, then you have no place on the national stage. Katie Couric asked Sarah a very softball question when she asked Sarah what she read. Sarah could not answer because she knew People magazine would not be a good answer. But the press corps did their job and we all found out how little Sarah knew.

    Sarah could not tell Charlie Gibson what the Bush Doctrine was. Sarah could not name McCain's own policy ideas. Sarah did not know the reasons for WWI, WWII and she was surprised there were two Korea's. She thought Africa was a country and not a continent. She did not know what the Federal Reserve was (in the middle of the financial meltdown, I think that might be important). She did not know that England had a Prime Minister and the Queen;s position is largely ceremonial.

    She did not know her history, she did not know anything about how our economy works (or doesn't), she didn't know anything about our political system as she thought the VP ran the Senate. And the woman could not even put together a proper sentence on her own.

    What she is very good at is spewing hate and venom. And that is not what we need in this country. I doubt she knew much about her supposed hero Ronald Reagan, but if she did, she would know that Reagan would be a RINO in her world. He actually raised taxes a number of times and worked with Democrats, specifically Speaker Tip O'Neil on a daily basis.

    If a candidate cannot answer the questions of the press on the fly, they have no business running for national office. A Presidential campaign is not for wimps who cannot even answer the most basic of questions.

    And speaking of wimping out, Joni Ernst has cancelled her scheduled interviews with the editorial boards of Iowa's largest newspapers. She will not answer their questions. When she did that just yesterday, I said to myself, that will cost her the election. And in two weeks time, we shall see who goes to Washington as Iowa's newest Senator.

    Re the brawl--I have seen little written anywhere about the drunk sounding Palin saying stupid things throughout the police interviews of others. Any why didn't the police interview her?

    "But there's nothing you can do as a staffer when you sort of lose the confidence of the principal and that's what happened through the course of the Couric interviews," Wallace continued.


    Really Nicole? Really?? FUCK YOU. In my line of work, "simply" acute care nursing, if one of our little proteges sucks and is in way over her head and "nursing is not for you"..we DO something. If they are found dangerousl or incompetent, or mentally ill or impaired on a substance or a lack of food..we DO SOMETHING. We do A LOT actually. Remediation, extended orientation or FIRED FIRED FIRED.
    But she was just a VP candidate. I can sooooo see the difference.

    Does Nicolle Wallace really think that simply by "handling" Sarah Palin differently all that was wrong with her being the candidate for the office of the vice president would have magically gone away? Doesn't she realize that Sarah Palin was totally and completely inadequate as a candidate for such a high office? Does she really think that Sarah Palin should not have been scrutinized as she appeared on the national scene for the first time? Does she really think that the media was too hard on Sarah Palin while most of us think that she was treated with the proverbial kid gloves? When will the GOP, and John McCain in particular, face up to the fact that a pathetic, inadequate candidate was chosen to run with him and admit to the American people that they did a great disservice to the nation by nominating her?

      I think she what she means by handling her differently is that she wouldn't have let her do any interviews, period. She wouldn't have let her out there for people to see how dumb she is. Yes, I believe she would have participated in an even bigger cover up than she did.

    And she will throw her kids in the spotlight to deflect the criticism of her own failings as a parent. She did this when she threw Bristol under the bus during the campaign. Hid behind her DS baby when she was criticized, blamed others, always blamed others. The emails about a wedding for Bristol illustrate how she uses her kids to craft an image for herself and then to try and profit from it personally. It's disgusting. There is no doubt that she made Bristol go out there and take a bullet for Mama with this latest blog entry about her "assault" and it reeks of desperation. But it doesn't pass the smell test. No Bristol honey. You got drunk and violent. The tapes, the police reports and witness statements don't back your claims. AND, you didn't press charges against your "assailant"…

  47. Go back and find some footage of her on election night '08. There is one bit that shows her smiling but clearly shocked. With the adoring crowds and media hype, she never thought she would lose.

    She had a concession speech, which I read somewhere was fairly innocuous, but if she had read it, I'm sure she would have somehow turned it into a bizarre anything but conceding speech and very likely any number of insulting remarks aimed at the president-elect and the voters.

    I doubt very much that she just wanted to praise McCain. I think in her itty-bitty brain, it stood for some sort of getting the last word in.

      The first few sentences of her concession speech were in praise of McCain, and the rest were about her. She wanted one last hit of the public attention she is so addicted to. It makes me smile to remember how the campaign managers directed the microphones and lights be cut after McCain's speech was over. By that time, they KNEW she was capable and willing to hi-jack that occasion if she could.

      Remember the night before the election when she said she "had faith God would choose the right leader for this country"?

      But when it turned out not to be HER, she immediately launched into a non-stop effort to undermine and destroy the one who did get chosen. Gotta love her "faith in the Lord's plan"...

      Not that it matters to Sarah, but the losing VEEP candidate never gives a concession speech, I will never forget the look on her face when the lights went out and everyone got swept off the stage. She was genuinely shocked to the point of tears.

      I don't agree. Todd has ways and he could force a marriage when he wants.

      Check out Track's so-called wedding. It looked like a marriage but was it? Track was advertised as a patriot that wanted to serve in the military and he was better than McCain or Biden's sons who were in the military at the same time. Was any of that true?

      The way the Palins do business it seems when they want they can create a marriage for Bristol. I think in the right situation someone would marry Bristol.

      Palin tradition is to get knocked up first.

      Marriage isn't for everyone. Let's face it, she flies off the handle and finds herself in the strangest places at the wrong time. BUT she always conducts herself real lady like and polite.

  49. Wallace decided to sugarcoat the entire interview because after all, she is a wingnut and wants to keep working...Sarah Palin wants power, position, and all the money that goes with it..I don't believe for a minute that she is god fearing, I believe every single thing she does is all about how much Sarah can grift, swindle, and rake in. She is a liar and a con-artist, nothing more, nothing at all..remember, getting elected to federal office is like winning the lottery, I worked in politics for many years, through many issues and candidates..any business, profession, or position that requires you to beg for money 99% of the time, instead of representing the voters, is, well, the kind of profession that is perfect for this Caribou Phony and her rag tag litter of tweaker tots

    I'm repeating what Bristol Palin said because we need the public to help identify this pervert, this I'm repeating what Bristol Palin said because we need the public to help identify this pervert, this bully, so he won't do this to any more of our Alaskan women and children.

    But then again if Bristol falsely accused this honest honorable man then Bristol should be brought up on charges for filing a false police and the man described on the police report and on Bristol's blog should sue Bristol Palin for defamation of character.


    Bristol:
    He was towering over me – probably at 6 foot something and over 200 pounds. He puffed his chest out and started yelling. 

    “You c-nt!” he looked right in my eyes and said. “Get the f-ck out of here, you slut!” 

    I was alarmed that things had gotten so bad so fast. But it got even worse when this guy started pushing me. He had his hands on me, pushing me down. That’s when I swung and hit his face. 

    Some would say I should’ve never retaliated in defense against him, but certainly he should never have pushed a girl. It didn’t phase him. He pushed me down to the ground and kept me there. 

    It was scary and awful. He held me down until someone got me out of the situation.

    I don't blame Nicholle one bit for being "magnanimous" to "Sarah" (The image created by the stage crew and make up people, the MILF with the cleavage and high heels image sells extremely well, but with nothing to support it, it falls flat on it's face). I saw this bimbo in person at the Irish Pub in Philly, and they were cutting the mics from all the folks booing and giving her the bronx cheer, and this was pretty early on in her downward spiral.
    Nicholle had to work with what she was given, that's her JOB, and it's not her fault Sarah couldn't take the pressure of the campaign, let alone the office she was pre ordained by God and her prayer warriors to ascend to. To put it bluntly, she's no Geraldine Ferraro.
    The blame falls squarely on John McCain's lap. I'm in my fifties and NEVER saw a candidate being tutored with index cards by the boss's babbling brook in Arizona. They hid her for weeks, then show her studying her butt off, only to get asked what she reads and get smeared by Canadian Disc Jockeys who accentuated the bimbo's ability to bounce back. I was ashamed FOR her but not for what she went through. She should have simply said, "No Thanks" when asked, but her ego and her illness wouldn't allow it.
