She may not think she's done, some of her supporters may not think she's done, but the Republican party is driving a stake through the undead corpse of Sarah Palin's political career. She may go back to Alaska and may even get support for another term as governor, but as far as national politics goes . . . done.

PLFXpert 0 #52 November 6, 2008 QuoteIn terms of leadership charisma . . . Very true. If it weren't for my strong disagreement with some of his proposed plans, I'd have loved to have voted for him. Regardless, I'm excited we've reached a point in our history that a black man can be elected president, and I hope he serves us well.Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

AWL71 0 #54 November 6, 2008 Quote Quote http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Politics/story?id=6196407&page=1 Another interesting article. Quote "I wish I could have told you back at the time, but all of it was put off the record until after the election" What kind of a fucking reporter is this? A crappy one? Wow, dont you get it? Do you think the McCain staff are going to blame themselves for the shit job they did?Also, they have to destroy Palin (if they can). She is a threat in 2012. A big one.......... I hope Palin does not come back. If the GOP can't do better than that for a presidential candidate then we conservatives are in trouble. McCain made a mistake picking her and he ran a horrible campaigh to boot. He should have chosen Romney.The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I jsut posted the poll done world wide that shows your hated by the world postion to be bullshit. Sorry if the facts are in your way. I think Bush screwed many things up. Mostly in communication. Some do not agree with some of what he did.

In fairness to BOTH sides of the argument about GW Bush's presidency, shouldn't we wait for it to be over for a few years in order to get some perspective on it? Remember the time of Reagan's Presidency?.. Where he'd been accused of being a Simpleton throughout his presidency?.. Now it's generally accepted that he was "Capable of seeing past the complexities to the underlying simplicities." (John Lewis Gaddis c.2002). Mike.

grimmie 186 #66 November 6, 2008 $20 we never hear about Palin on a national political level again.

gjhdiver 0 #68 November 6, 2008 Quote His "failure" is yet to be judged. And not by you or me. that is for sure. It was judged on Tuesday. His performance over the last eight years is perhaps the most major factor in the overwhelming support a black liberal junior senator got to become president. If W's administration hadn't been so utterly, relentlessly, mind-bogglingly incompetent, Obama would never had stood a chance. That millions of new voters became engaged in ways never before seen, just to drive a stake through the heart of the Republican party speaks to his massive failure on every level. Obama carried states that Bush won, and had never voted for a Democrat in decades. There's your judgment of W right there. You can spin it all you want, but the votes are in. As for Palin. I really do hope they wheel her out in 2010 or 2012. It will only prove that the GOP haven't learned a fucking thing from Tuesday's massacre. Her folksy, superstitious bullshit will probably guarantee added congressional seats for Democrats. McCain's ticket started sinking once she opened her yap and people realised that she was an uneducated hick. Do you really think that the people who were put off the GOP ticket by her will suddenly love her in two or four years ? Bring her on is all I say. I could do with a laugh. By the way, there's only going to be two books in the George W Bush presidential library, and he's already colored one of them in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmytavino 16 #69 November 6, 2008 she is the proverbial 'big fish in a small pond' i e Alaska believe it or not,,,, while Alaska is HUGE in geographic land area, on the statistical front.. the number of voters,,,,, is staggeringly small... I just checked some of the totals, and Rhode Island had 438,526 votes cast for President while Alaska had 221,838..... less than half... It's not a surprise that McCain/Palin got 136,300 and Obama Biden got 80,300...in HER state. they DO love her there...and so be it... But she was like a "salmon out of water" once put into the glare of the national spotlight... More votes total were cast for Pres/VP in the district of colombia ( wash DC), than alll of alaska DC cast 225,224 votes total.... 210,403 for Obama and 14,821, ONLY ,,, for McCain... Hmmmm. Must be all the G O P big shots went to their home states to vote,, or else went turncoat on their own candidates... it seems that in the real scheme of things,, Alaska was 'penny ante'... NO disparagement meant to those citizens who live there..... it appears that They can have her back,, to complete her term as Gov... jt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
