LMAO...You're joking, right?

Why is your country weighing in on political scenes in countries that they weren't invited in and whose opinions were/are unsolicited?

Don't you think your question is pretty nervy and smacks of hypocrisy?

And they said over and over, the Republicans won't take back the house.

Who said that? Got links? In fact I heard the Dems saying they expected to lose the House and hang onto the Senate, which is what they did. I did hear some righties say they thought they would win the Senate also and we see how that worked out. After hearing predictions from the right for years, especially 2008 to now, and having noticed that they are almost always wrong I think I will go with whomever predicts the opposite of what the right is predicting, odds are in my favor that way.

She will just run as an Independent and ripe the GOP vote in half or at least reduce it by a couple of votes, her sheep and ego will demand it. Meaning guess what happens, yeah, you know, four more years of President Obama.

Good. Now maybe the liberal mainstream media will stop stalking her 24/7 and leave her family alone, giving the rest of us a much-needed break from Palinmania.

It's not a CNN poll.

It's a USA TODAY/Gallup survey.

You reap what you sow. She's crossed the line so many times, and it's finally catching up with her.

Not sure who was saying that...however, even Repub pundits admit she is not necessarily shaping up to be a 'heavy hitter' other than her marketing skills of her book, TV show, and appearances. Of course you are correct...one never knows. Would be something if she hooked up with Michelle B out of Minnesota...and called the run, Thelma and Louise Part Deux.

However, in my opinion...she will get hammered in the first Rethug versus Repub debate. As soon as the gloves drop...they will beat the crap out of her. Just the way it goes.

The poster you were responding to lives in Denmark. Sorry to inform you, but the average Scandinavian adult who pays attention to news often has a pretty good sense of what is going on in the States. And many times, they also speak better English than the average American, truth be told.

Additionally, "not to be rude" or anything, but what kind of "Ugly American" syndrome is that- telling people who don't reside in the States that they cannot comment on the goings on there?!! For all you know, that could be an American abroad. And even if it were not, who cares? Lord forbid you ever find yourself in another country.

I am an American, married to a service member who also works to serve families of service members, wherever Uncle Sam tells us to go. But if I listed my actual location (which is currently not in the US), what would you do? Automatically jump on me for commenting on the American scene because my "location" does not list me there? That would be pretty pathetic, don't you think?
