62. Benson:

“She’s accomplished and is as accomplished as any candidate who ever ran for President.”

That may be the single dumbest statement I have ever read on PJM. And that is saying something.

Decorated Navy Pilot
Yale graduate
Ambassador to the UN
Chairman of the Republican National Committee
Chief Liaison to China
Director of the CIA
8 years as Vice President Ronald Reagan

What am I saying, you’re right, Bensonmum, that can’t hold a candle to the Runner up for Miss Fishbone who quit her governorship halfway through because she loved her state so much.

I’m sick to death of people saying “She needs to study hard, blah, blah, blah,”. These people still watch the main stream media, wouldn’t know the truth if it bit them in the a$$ and probably voted for Obama. When McCain picked Palin as his Running mate I did my homework. I didn’t read the lefty blogs or pay any attention to the biased interviews. I found a factual biography about Palin and read it. What she’s done politically and personally is truly an American story about an intelligent, thoughtful woman. I watched her in a debate while running for governor. I watched her TV interviews on Alaska television as governor. I watched her acceptance speech after being elected.
She’s accomplished and is as accomplished as any candidate who ever ran for President. When I hear people say she’s not ready to run for President I know right away they still believe the lies of the left and main stream media and are to lazy to find out the truth. I would never support her in any way as a candidate if I didn’t feel she was not only ready but exactly what this country needs.

The fact that she stepped down was honorable. Her family and herself were getting more flack from the drive by media than any politician in recent memory and it was affecting her governing of Alaska and she stepped aside. She’s will to step away from power just as much as she’s willing to throw a political punch.

No, she resigned because the cost of the abuse of the ethics reform process to her, and her state, was too much. She probably would have held out if
she could have covered her expenses with the legal
defense fund, but a leaked opinion, stigmatizing
that use, made that impossible.

58. Mike Stergios:
“Most of the perception about her “unpreparedness” comes from TWO heavily-edited MSM interviews and a SNL parody.”

Did you see her “I quit” speech? It was the craziest, most disjointed and self-serving goulash of victimhood and rationalizing ever served up to the American public. I look forward to seconds.

A lot of conservatives still seem to be suffering from Media Stockholm Syndrom concerning the Sarahcuda. Most of the perception about her “unpreparedness” comes from TWO heavily-edited MSM interviews and a SNL parody.
The intensity of the venom directed at Sarah Palin should clue in thoughtful conservatives that she represents something which deeply terrifies the Left. She represents better than any public figure out there the falsity of the Progressive pose as champion of women, the little guy, and the non-elites.
She may sound like Frances McDormand’s small-town sheriff from FARGO–not a bad image to evoke BTW–but she has the genius of putting pressing current issues like health care and energy policy and the environment in terms which resonate with most people outside the beltway.
I wouldn’t worry too much about her walking into Oprah’s lair. Oprah, for all her PC posturing and ties to Obama, is a very shrewd businesswoman. Booking Sarah helps her ratings. Sarah is equally shrewd, and recognizes that this is an optimal opportunity to talk over the MSM template.

“21: JR Dogman:…Recall Evan Thomas’s pronouncement in 2004: the MSM coverage of Kerry/Edwards was worth around 15 points in the general election. When other libs went nuts over what he’d said, Thomas reduced it to 5 points. But we know 15 was (and is) right — if anything it might be a conservative estimate.”

Exactly. Which is why reducing the power of the MSM to sway well-meaning Americans is critical to victory in 2010 and 2012.

This is Information Age warfare. The tactical assets vital to this sort of combat are the information-processing and information-distributing systems, yours and your enemy’s. Protect yours; target his. Delegitmize the Obamunist “brain trust.” Choke the MSM by reporting on its relentless lies, distortions, misrepresentations and omissions. We’ve made a good start. Press on!

Exactly. Which should demonstrate irrefutably why weakening the power of the MSM should be near the top of the conservative agenda for the next three years. They’re guaranteed to try all their tricks again, whether the GOP candidate is Sarah Heath Palin or anyone else.

We’re engaged in Information Age warfare here, friends. Our primary aim must be weakening or destroying the information-processing-and-distribution nodes in the enemy camp. In politics, that means its brain trust and the network that disseminates data and orders on its behalf. Press the MSM against the wall and choke it on its bias, its lies, its misrepresentations and censorship-by-omission. Degrade its power to sway the minds of well-meaning Americans. That’s the tactical key to victory in 2010 and 2012. Isn’t that what the Left has been trying to do to Fox News and conservative talk radio?

Draw the moral!

Huckabee = Lawrence Welk

Baal – Glad you liked the speech. Frank Luntz, the pollster, rated it as one of the greatest speeches. His focus group’s numbers were off the charts.

As far as Oprah, not to worry. Oprah does not dare do a Gibson on Sarah. Too many of her audience just love Sarah. She dare not piss them off. She’ll lose too large a portion of her audience. She learned a bit from last year. She still pals around with Obama, but she dares not mess with Sarah, at least not until an election year. It’d be just foolish.
