Going Rouge

Amazing how popular Palin's book is, Rogue has been at the top of amazon's best seller list for weeks, and it's not even out yet. This other book, meh, sounds like it was written by a bunch of sexist sour pusses. I won't be purchasing either honestly.

I have no interest in either, either. I'd be interested in the demographic of purchasers, however.

Honestly, Sarah Palin lowers national politics to the level of a reality show: "Who Wants To Be Vice President?" Another person, a lot like Paris Hilton, who is famous simply because she's a celebrity.

People can make fun of her all they want, but I feel at this point she has a very good chance of being the Repblican Presidential nominee in 2012. She is not my teabagging cup of tea, but I think there is a lot more to come from this lady...Romney, Huckabee and Polenti--watch out!

Are you not believing she has any chance in 2012?..or are you not believing that I believe that she has a chance?

Both, Alpha crab, both.

I concur - which is why these authors put together the "rouge" - they didn't want her to get a free chance to rewrite history.

Palin isn't speaking out about how her interviews were edited and blaming things on McCain's handlers because she truly has zero interest in a run in 2012. Most politicians claim disinterest until they have the money and stats on their side.

Peggy Noonan said it best the day after she gave her speach at the Rep. convention.

"They got to KILL her and they got to KILL her quick"

The only way that will happen is a result of a complete civil war in the party. AND....result in the ole saying......4 more years, 4 more years....for those nasty ole' Dems

And the local Liberals continue their unabated, unsubstantiated knocking of the former Governor of Alaska. You know, the one who left the largest state in the union with a budget surplus. If only the federal government could do the same.

That surplus had little to do with her and much to do with oil and a good economy. She quit before we could see if she could still govern when money wasn't pouring in.

Also worth noting that everyone who lives in Alaska for a year gets over a thousand dollars a year from oil dividends. Native alaskans can earn tens of thousands a year from funds and also get free health care. A large amount also pays for scholarships and charities.

That provides a social safety net that eliminates many of the problems other governors (or presidents) have to deal with.

I do think Palin was initially an effective governor of Alaska (a very unique place), but once she got a taste of power and national celebrity things went downhill fast.................not helped by national media attention revealing some of her less than stellar staff and budget decisions.

She does not have the basic knowledge, critical thinking, or people skills necessary to be President.

The latest polls say something like 26-28% of the American public thinks Sarah Palin is qualified to be president. Hucakbee and Romney are polling in the high 40s on the question; Hillary Clinton gets respect from 67% of people polled in that regard.

Given a choice between right wing whackloon populists, I'm in the group that would vastly prefer Huckabee. I disagree on about 90% of his policy positions, but he's got an interest in actually working hard at the job and trying to do the right thing for all his constituents.

She did a lot of good for the state of Alaska. She quit. What more could they ask for?

yes, she did leave. you want leaders who know when to leave.

I'd rather have leaders who have the grit and drive to stay and fix the problem - rather than running at the first sign of adversity.

It's not just the locals, it's the enitre democrat party. They are rabid!

?I love meat," she writes. "I eat pork chops, thick bacon burgers, and the seared fatty edges of a medium-well-done steak. But I especially love moose and caribou. I always remind people from outside our state that there's plenty of room for all Alaska's animals -- right next to the mashed potatoes.?

Classic quote. I might actually pick a copy up.

Got that right!

and the state erupted in applause

From the six or so people I know who live in that state now, none were sorry to see her go, and she left a bundle of problems, but as you said, or someone said, she left a surplus which was actually from the oil people and is left each year, Of course the last NATIONAL surplus left in the US was by a democrat, Bill Clinton! And who squandered it? A republican over the course of a few months as he gutted our economy or allowed that to happen, watched NY attacked while he crabbed about too much work in Crawfordsville, then attacked a sovergeign nation the wrong one I believe) and left us in economic ruins as he did that other country in complete chaos and ruin. Rabid? Damn right! And sick of the whining, fawning "good ole boy" party of negativism, corruption, greed, rascism, demagogery, sexist hypocrits that Dirksen, Romney's dad, and Lincoln would find repulsive. Yeah, run Palin or Huckster or whomever.....cowtow to the ultra conservative wingnut end of the party, the fake ultra religious, the talking heads and watch us slide backwards into the stone age. Just my humble opinion, of course.

I think you just described everyone in Washington. You might want to open your eyes a little wider than just the republican party. This Republican v. Democrat crap is getting freakin' annoying.

Not all are so easily impressed.

I think she is in the process of becoming the head of The American Conservative Party--I don't think she will be a Republican for too much longer. Still, I imagine Bill Buckley is rolling over in his grave.
