She doesn't appear to be too popular with her fellow Republican Governors at the convention this week. They have tried to keep the spotlight off of her and rightfully so.
She made a speech there and carried on with her stump speech and talked more about Joe the Plumber.
She's a curiosity. Having been thrust from relative obscurity into the national spotlight with the hope and expectation that 130+ million people would trust in her to run our country, she never did give us the opportunity to know her.
I am glad she is finally giving me the opportunity to know her. At first, I thought she could be GOP's Obama. Boy, was I wrong! After Bush, I don't think country will ever be in the mood to elect a dumb president again.
It happened because John McCain is an incompetent and a cynic and reckless beyond measure.
and This deluded and delusional woman still doesn't understand what happened to her; still has no self-awareness; and has never been forced to accept her obvious limitations
The world is so much better when Andrew Sullivan comes back to the smart side.
I think that Sarah Palin's biggest fear is that she will be the next Geraldine Ferraro.
I think she needs to go home. THe other Governors are trying to find out how they come back and make a stand on the issues and there she is talking about Joe the Plumber. Not any issues we are facing or solutions. PLease go home Sarah.
Said Tim Pawlenty at his RGA luncheon speech: "Drill baby drill by itself is not an energy policy."
GOP Governors debate party's direction at Miami conference
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour warned governors to work in their states before thinking about running for higher office in four years. ''Anybody here tonight who's talking about the 2012 presidential election needs to get their eye on the ball,'' he said. ``We don't need any talk of 2012.'' He said afterward that he was not directing his comments at Palin but at the news media.
CNN: So let me ask you point blank, governor. Is she the future of the party?
MARK SANFORD (SC): I don’t think I’d define it that way. [11/13/08]
TIM PAWLENTY (MN): She [Palin] is going to be one of the voices that will help lead the party for months and years to come, clearly. … I also think it is too early to be talking about 2012. My goodness, we just had an election. People are sick of that. [MSNBC, 11/12/08]
FOX: What do you think her future is?
HALEY BARBOUR (MS): Well, I think the future she’s talking about is 2009 and 2010. [11/13/08]
MATT BLUNT (MO): I think Republican governors were surprised when she [Palin] was selected, but at the same time they were impressed. … There are a lot of great candidates out there for 2012. I don’t think the American people want to — want to hear much about that at this point.[Fox News, 11/13/08]
MSNBC: So broad hints there from Palin again today with reporters, certainly with Matt Lauer. Is that the solution?
JON HUNTSMAN (UT): The solutions are going to be many-fold. You can’t look to one personality in particular. [11/12/08]
I couldn’t believe my eyes and ears when watching Larry King Show last night where he interviewed Sarah. He would ask a simple question for a yes or no answer and she would take the next five minutes taking about so many issues that didn’t have anything to do with the question. Her answers were always 50 words or more and contained several unrelated comments to each of Larry King’s questions. I was at the point about halfway into the interview that I wanted an ice pick jammed into my ears. Can she ever answer with a yes or no, and why must she always tie in Alaska to each question? Sarah please shut up and go away for several years!
Why were these Republican governors impressed? It was John McLame that picked her, like anyone really expected much from him. Reps need to get a whole new set of people, cause the ones that ran this year, Huckabee,Guiliani,Romney,McGramps and Caribou Barbie...none were good enough to get national support that would go mainstream.
She doesn't know any answeres that is why she can only say the same speech she has in her memory. She only has Alaska to talk about. I agree please go home and don't come back out until you read a lot.

If you read the quotes I posted in #36, it doesn't sound to me like they were all that impressed with her.
