Locked,

Once again you fail at basic reading comprehension;

How does me saying;

Quote:
As the economy get's worse so will his support as will Palins support increase.


in any way imply that she's not popular?


Are we talking relative degrees? I would argue "popular" with a demographic would be having more than 50% of said demographic liking the person. Palin is NOT popular with moderate woman. You could argue that 20% of moderate women liking her would be popular. Sure, it's more than 0, but it's a pointless comparison. Without a majority (or nearly one), popularity is pretty worthless.

Quote:
There's a poll out there now by either gallup or rasmussen, I don't remember which, that says only 20% of the population identify themselves as liberas, 40% as moderate/independent, and another 40% as conservative/gop.


I'm going to say right now you have your facts wrong, if for no other reason that you have GOP mixed in with conservative, but no option for Democrat.

Quote:
In the same poll most of those who identified themselves as moderates have said they will not vote Democrat next year.
Cool. Find the poll, please.

Quote:
If what you're saying about Palin is true those numbers wouldn't be what they are.


No. Now you're making stuff up. Heck, Neil Patrick Harris is popular, but that popularity has nothing to do with which party people will vote for. Palin has made enemies among the Republican Party; even if she does gain popularity (which, note, she is losing it, not gaining it), that does NOT mean the party gains votes.

Quote:
Nevermind the fact that thousands upon thousands of people are attending her book signings.

Amazing. Thousands upon thousands went to her rallies as well.

Quote:
The results are in Palin is popular among moderates which is why liberal organizations like the ap and basic media outlets feel they have to tear her down.


The results, as said, are that she's too conservative to appeal to most moderates, and too divisive to get anywhere among the Republican party.

Quote:
Like the liberals on this site they are scared sh*tless of her and they should be. An attractive, well spoken conservative is a threat to the Dems hold on the female vote.


I'm scared of Palin precisely because she is NOT well-spoken, and (although not mentioned by you) lacks the experience, education, or connections to run anything outside of the governorship of Alaska... which she gave up due to pressure.

Ugly,

Couldn't be any worse than watching Obama act like a retarded step-child while unemployment increases and afghanistan gets worse.

I don't think she'd help unemployment, but she would solve Afghan, by turning it into glass. Pretty sure that'd just create more terrorists in other countries though, so not sure it really solves much either.

You'd probably see a Crusade begin though.

Palin's been in the news a lot, but I've noticed the liberal pundits seem to be spending as much time focusing on her as the conservative ones. Then I realize that it's all part of a master plan to get her nominated by the GOP in 2012 and ensure Obama's reelection.

Palin/Joe the Plumber 2012!

I'm not to worried about Palin becoming president. Even if she does, she'll quit halfway through her first turn.

No, I'm way more concerned about whoever her veep will be, since they'll be the Prez that has to clean up the royal mess she made.

Edit: I had a revelation. Palin loves to run for stuff. She loves to prove that she's popular enough to WIN. She thrives on the attention she gets, and feeds on the adoration of the crowd and being the center of attention. However, after she's won the title, she doesn't want to do the actual work it entails. It's boring. It's not glamorous. She's no longer the center of attention, she's just an important - but small - cog in machinery that is larger than herself.

It's a very immature attitude to take, and one I myself had maybe ten years ago before I grew the **** up.

You're confused. Democrats have the highest levels of partisan party identification and Republicans are at an all time low. However, conservatives have the highest polling ideology whereas liberal ranks at the bottom.

Without making half-assed guesses for the reason, people like calling themselves conservative but don't like identifying with the GOP. People dislike calling themselves liberal but like identifying with the Democrats.

And Obama is? Everytime Obama's teleprompter fails the entire Democrat party holds their breath in fear.


That said I think we all know Palin won't be the GOP nominee. She may be get the vp nod.


Bush's teleprompter didn't even need to fail, he had a natural talent for dumbassery.

At least she isn't making fun of retards, like Obama, when the teleprompters not around.
"As for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell you, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?"

I could pretend to be outraged by a Special Olympics gaffe, but I don't really care.

You realize this doesn't make any sense right? I mean: people joke about "beating you like a step-child" because of the notion that parents don't love a step-child as much as a biological one. The retardation level of a child has nothing do with whether his parents divorced and remarried. Can you explain to me exactly how a "retarded step-child" acts with distinction to a regular retarded child?

When I was a kid, there was a girl down the street who was adopted. When she'd have birthday parties and stuff, her parents would call out to use kids, "Ok, now first only children who were adopted come up to get ice cream! Everyone else has to wait a minute..."

There was a bit of overcompensating going on there.

Aren't conservatives the ones ******** that he hasn't held a press conference in the last three months?

Kind of at odds with an attention *****.

Edit: Retracted, unable to find citation.

See, it's not so hard.

Er? Where did you hear this mangled factoid? The complaint is that he's spending too much time on public appearances and not enough on actually doing his job. Which is in perfect alignment with being an attention *****.

Not sure how that gets transformed into "he's just not doing enough news conferences!".

Honestly, why do you defend this woman? She may be "one of your own," but she's an embarrassment. There are certainly smarter women in the GOP.

I am unable to find a citation upon a cursory search and so retract the snark.

(However, I'm pretty sure I read it someplace in the last week. omg obama can give a press conference in japan but not the us? what is he hiding???!!??!)
