    HAHAHAHAHAHA!! An ethically-challenged half-governor who failed as a mayor before that, doesn’t know her history (or lies — take your pick), has been an Alaskan Secessionist, puts her family ON DISPLAY all the time, gets a fat contract and a studio built at her home by Fox, but is too thin-skinned to take criticism when she RUNS FOR OFFICE? Did you compare her to Hillary, perhaps, who survived and coolly fought off VASTLY worse attacks by the media and to some extent by both parties?I refer you to President Harry S Truman, and get out of the kitchen, baby.

    “…stalkers moving next door to her…” You mean a journalist who was writing a book about her? Do ALL authors appear as stalkers to you? Cuz, you know; they’re positively OBSESSED with studying the subject of their book. And, you know, actually knowing something about which they’re talking is a good thing. Also—this (even Alaska) is still America, in which the landlord can still rent to whomever they choose. How close is too close—the same block? The same town? The same state? And Alaska’s the biggest one! So, cry me some crocodile tears for the Palins for having an “undesirable” move in next door.

    Some conservatives actually admire Palin, so it’s not wonder they’re blinkered as to facts.

    Hey TigBot 2012 was just repeating what he had heard from his old buddy, Brain Williams.

    I’ve corrected this before, but I believe you’re thinking of 2004. 2008 was a slam dunk for the Democrats, McCain was a sacrificial lamb. But in 2008 you had an incumbent popular with the right and hated by the left (I remember plenty of “Anybody But Bush” stickers around) and the Democrats could not put forward a viable candidate. Just recast Romney as Kerry, Santorum as Dean, Paul as Kucinich, Gingrich as Sharpton, and Rick Perry as The Beaver and you have 2004 all over again. It also looks like the results may turn out the same for the challengers, as Bain Capital will probably be used as Romney’s swiftboat issue by the Democrats.

    There was some talk coming out of CPAC of a brokered convention for the Repubs. Jeb Bush and Sarah Palin were supposed to be the top contenders in that scenario

    In a cage match between you and Palin, I will put my money on Palin. She would tear you to shreds.

    Considering the right wing, religious lunacy she wouldn´t be worse than the rest – more likely better for being a woman now.

    I’d heard she was on tour doing mud moose wrestling. It was in Field and Scream Magazine.

    I’m waiting for the current “republicans” to find a candidate from the primates.

    “She rode the election out to the end. "

    Yeah, that was like a whole three months, wasn’t it? Of course, after they plucked her off the ice floe for a photo op with McCain at the Convention, they kept her under wraps for another couple of weeks so they could teach her ‘bout foreigners and history and how a bill becomes a law and all that other “gotcha” stuff that a Vice President doesn’t really NEED to know (but gives a bad appeareance if s/he doesn’t).

    That’s a great platform slogan? Hopelessness and same-ol, same-ol? Great. Just what the Mortician ordered!

    Tell that to Jack, Martin, and Bobby.

    At least Sarah Palin has a life…though the bed she has made for herself is very convoluted.
