lol.

palin seems to matter to OP, and the contingent who watch reality trash and like her "folksy" charm.
I'm sure her "folksy" charm in our country whose economy, social structure, and job market is imploding, can really save the day.:rolle yes:

She did learn how to order donuts while being governor in Wasilla, apparently. Pathetic.

Todd Palin is smoking crack. Hillary would win in a land slide and the Libertarian candidate would collect the most 3rd-party votes since Perot in '92.

This would have been the perfect time for Dr. Paul to run

I wonder why he made no mention about the 30 something ethics complaints they were investigating her on before she resigned?
Of course there was no mention about her knowledge (or lack of) on history, geography and the world in general.

He must have been watching Faux entertainment, it is the only source saying something so absurd.

Yes, he may have been watching Faux entertainment (also known as MSNBC).

And people don't realize that as governor, Palin was the 2nd most powerful governor in the nation. Palin proved as governor she was able to work with democrats and get things accomplished that the previous governors of Alaska were unable to do. If she were to run and Hillary was her opponent, Palin's executive record would outshine Hillary. Hillary is plagued with scandal and the media has done their best to cover for her like they have with the putative president. The media needs to reform itself and stop being bias so it can report the facts on each candidates experience, policy and ideas. Palin says American need to return to it's founding principles and we have strayed off that path. I have to agree. I would encourage everyone to read the first link and watch the 2nd link before commenting instead of typing a impulsive biased knee jerk reaction. Please try to refrain from doing that. This thread is about having executive experience that can get this nation on the right track to prosperity as well the media reporting that experience.

lol... wow, that is delusional. Sarah Palin is maybe going to win first place in some trashy reality TV contest, that's about it. We saw what an airhead she was last time she tried running on a national ticket. And she bailed out on her supposedly successful governorship. Hillary whips her sorry ass without even trying when it comes to brains and experience.

That's a good way of putting it. Personally, I think her right-wing views are vile, but that's not relevant. What's relevant is that she doesn't display anything like the depth of knowledge of history or economics or foreign relations or possess the critical thinking skills or anything else that would be useful for someone shooting for one of the highest offices in the land in one of the most powerful countries in the world.

And I think she has cultivated that sideshow image herself - I don't think she has any intention of ever getting involved with the messy policy stuff again.

Again, this isn't a bad thing, but she is more of a niche performer than somebody with wide appeal. She garners a lot of attention (as this thread illustrates), but attention and appeal aren't the same things.
The US needs a real joke party, like the Rhinos. The sort that makes leveling the Rocky Mountains to give Colorado an extra half-hour of sunlight part of their platform. Give Sarah a set of deelie-bobbers and put her on the campaign trail for the Silly Party. It's what she was born for.

That's because the were all dismissed by the Alaska Board and Judges who declared them being without merit.

Exactly what views of hers is vile? And why do you give Obama a pass on what I bolded? He had zero executive experience at governing, had no experience balancing a budget or excercising fical responisiblity. He had zero foreign experience as he admitted in the last presidential debate in 08 after a woman questioned him on how he would deal with Iran. The man was a nobody who became a token affirmative action candidate. Palin had more executive experience than Obama ever dreamed of. Her record at making policy is proof.

Sorry Britt, repeating "her record is proof" over and over does not make it so, nor does it make people like her any more.
