From The Note:
As speculation swirls over whether former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will enter the race for the 2012 presidential campaign, former 2008 Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain (AZ) said this morning that he thinks Palin can win in a race against President Obama in 2012.
“Of course, she can,” Senator John McCain made said on “Fox News Sunday” this morning. “She can. Now, whether she will or not, whether she'll even run or not, I don't know.”
....
“She [Palin] also inspires great passion, particularly among Republican faithful.” McCain said.
Sarah inspires my passion to hope that she will run and win the Republican nomination.
I'm puzzled that Sarah's not in the driver's seat in the picture. She doesn't function at all well in second place. Still, from the rear seat of a motorcycle, I suppose she hasn't much choice but to follow the leader.

As a motorcycle mama myself, you may be surprised how much you can do from the back seat of a bike --one steers a bike by leaning and shifting weight --and that can happen from the front or back...
ReplyDeleteSo, I'd put my money on it that the woman who is in charge of the throttle is going exactly where she is being leaned on to go!

I better not say a word about cows... and lipstick, or anything!
Oh margaret, I did not know that. Thanks for bringing me up to speed. :-)
ReplyDeleteSay nothing about cows or lipstick!
That her gf in the driver's seat, perhaps?
ReplyDeleteAlas, Sarah does not confide in me, so I can't say.
ReplyDeleteShe might get the nomination, only because no one else would survive the primary and caucus process dominated by the hard-core right.
ReplyDeleteHer big drawback is that she appeals only to angry frightened white people. She alienates everyone else, which suits her supporters fine because they believe that they are the only people who matter anyway. However, angry frightened white people may have Fox News and most of the corporate money, but they really don't have the votes. Most of the people in this country aren't angry frightened white people (probably by about 65 to 75%). They know this, and that's why there are all these voting laws going through state houses to prevent anyone who isn't them from voting.
Sarah can win the White House only if the Voting Rights Act was somehow effectively repealed.
Counterlight, should we root for her to be the nominee, or should we worry that she just might get elected?
ReplyDeleteI would rather consider Sally Ride rather than Sarah Run.

Good one, Fred.
ReplyDeleteI said, "Hello, MadPriest."
Of course, we foreigners often don't see US politics as Americans do, but the general view from north of the border, even among conservatives, would I think see her as a very strange candidate indeed. But then again, as you say, perhaps Democrats should be praying for her to win the nomination...
ReplyDeleteAren't the e-mails she sent when Governor about to be made public. A rich seam of ridicule, no doubt!

ReplyDeleteTim, you foreigners have that right.

"Sir", no doubt. The media like Sarah because she makes their work easy.
