Is Palin finished as a Prez hopeful?

That bird is upside down with its throat cut and bleeding to death.

Yes, she's got a snowballs chance in hell.

But don't tell her.

I frankly don't think she had a great chance to begin with. And I don't think this is the reason. I don't think this is going to have a large affect come late 2011 when primaries begin since the base isn't buying into the majority of Democrat's BS about this, and by 2012 it'll mostly be forgotten by all but those who would've voted against her anyways.

Where can we get the unedited video?

I like how she talks about all the great things she's planning for Alaska. She forgot to mention quitting her job to further her media career.

She quit because Alaska was being forced to pay for a whole slew of partisan driven completely unfounded ethics complaints against her.

Hazlnut likes to dabble in alternate reality posting. Gov. Palin stepped aside to save her family, and the state the millions it was costing to fight frivolous investigations which were allowed through a loop hole in the state laws. Much of which brought her ability to Govern to a stand still. By stepping down, the state saved millions, and her Lt. Gov. was able to move her agenda forward. Her detractors call her a quitter. Those who bother to take more then .5 seconds to analyze what really went down see a shrewd woman who put her state and it's people ahead of herself.

imo she put herself ahead of her duty, and cashed in big time. nothing wrong with that, but why do you insist on pretending she is a selfless woman?

Because that's the narrative they learn over at Fox News.

Palin is an opportunist who wasn't even qualified to be Mayor. She did Alaska a favor by quitting. The state would be run into the ground by now.

Why do you insist on lying?

Yes, she made out after the fact, but she stepped down for very real, legit reasons that if you weren't being a partisan hack you'd acknowledge she had good cause for stepping down.

You're doing exactly what you just decried others doing (different circumstance obviously).

it WAS very good. it's also interesting to be able to identify the ignorant, partisan hacks on this forum, who continue to use this tragedy as a platform for their hate of the president.

what makes me curious about this narrative is; do they really think that she wouldn't have been able to release a book as Governor?
 
Cafferty File: - Palin's reaction to Tucson massacre end her chances of being president? « - CNN.com Blogs

Sarah Palin may have done herself in.

The tragedy in Tucson, Arizona, presented an opportunity for Palin to reach beyond her base and strike a note of unity. It was her chance to say something that showed she was capable of true leadership.

You see, before Palin opened her mouth, there was a good deal of sympathy for her. Many believed it was wrong to drag her into the debate.

But then she spoke. And it was just awful. Defiant and inflammatory, Palin invoked the historically painful term "blood libel" in attacking the media. This is a phrase used to describe anti-Semitic myths about how Jews killed children to use their blood in rituals.

Small govt hero, Chris Christie.

Gov. Chris Christie on Sarah Palin: ‘She’ll Never be President.’ | The State Column
Wednesday, January 12, 2011

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is offering his advice to former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin: go unscripted.

The New Jersey Republican, who has built a national name for himself in recent months, made the comment Wednesday, just hours after Ms. Palin issued a response to critics.

“I think people need to be judged by the way they conduct themselves in the public arena, in a way that is as minimally staged as possible,” Mr. Christie said. “That’s where you really get to know people.”

The New Jersey Republican added that Ms. Palin’s advoidance of reporters will hinder her ability to run for president.

“And I would contend to you that if Governor Palin never does any of those things, she’ll never be president, because people in America won’t countenance that. They just won’t,” Mr. Christie added.

Mr. Christie added that Ms. Palin’s exclusive use of Facebook and Twitter for communicating with reporters has been “rightly criticized.”

Me too.
I think he's the one whose actually got a shot at President. If not in 2012.... 2016.
This is a serious guy, not a talking head like Palin.
