Perhaps because she manages to maintain, a consistent double digit lead over her rivals. Alaskan Governor and recent vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is again the target of the GOP establishment.
As a liberal democrat, I disagree with many of the conservative Alaskan’s political views, but I find it unsettling the liberal side of the main stream media can be so easily manipulated into doing the bidding of those who are responsible for the current economic and social crises. Yes it’s true during the campaign the McCain camp made the critical flaw of sequestering her from the media and force feeding her so many talking points she vomited them out when she was finally allowed to interact with the press.
But absent the economic meltdown and John McCain’s almost senile response to the catastrophe, it would have been a very long election night. Polls indicate a couple days prior to the revelation George Bush and the establishment neocons had steered us into an economic calamity that could still consequence the Mother of all Great depressions, McCain/Palin were ahead in the polls. The most revealing observation to my thinking about the McCain/Palin campaign came a few days ago when the Governor remarked prior to the debate with Joe Biden she was unable to find a single McCain flak who would join her in some pre-debate prayer. While God does not pick sides in debates, I have little doubt practicing Catholic Joe Biden and his closest aid’s took a few minutes to offer up some hail Mary’s and our Father’s on bended knee in the green room.
Sarah Palin is discovering the dystopian reality of republican politics, Ronald Reagan was the last genuine conservative to lead the country, RNC chair Michael Steele is truly representative of the old boys and girls who have come to control the party of Lincoln, they preach values and country and God but it’s little more than lapel flag patriotism.
While the mainstream media joins the GOP establishment in mockery and ridicule, Should President Obama fail to level off the economic nose dive and instill confidence he is on the right path, she could emerge in four years having devoured a library of the appropriate political tomes, polished and empowered with the political skills that permit her to provided the electorate with positions on foreign and domestic policy that appeal to that narrow margin of voters who determine elections.
That’s my view, yours may be differentÂ

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackWhat in the world makes you think Palin would read a library and become prepared about anything? The woman is not intellectually curious and really doesn’t care about the world outside Alaska. She showed that over and over during the campaign.
And have you ever noticed, as many have, that Sarah is always the victim; it is always someone beating up on her? Not once has she taken responsibility for anything. She is the classic passive/aggressive personality. She is also a compulsive liar. If you go back through anything known about Sarah and what she has said versus what she has actually done, it is all lies. I do not need to list them here. And the list keeps growing. Who is the blogger that has The Odd Lies of Sarah Palin? I think the last time I read it, he was up to 25.
Ghostwritten by James Carville?
I think alot of people fear Governor Palin. She isn’t a bureaucrat politician, which is refreshing.
Palin unseated a governor of her own party, then went on to beat a former Democratic governor, enjoyed approval ratings over 80 percent, especially among independent voters, and democrats (prior to her selection as VP.) All this did not exactly win her many friends in the Republican party. She essentially still doesn’t have many friends in the GOP leadership, even though at the grassroots level she is THE most popular potential candidate in 2012.
Palin has been doing a good job in Alaska, and her job approval rating is over 60 percent, something that any governor would like to have 2 years into their administation during an economic crisis.
Republicans used Sarah, plain and simple. And now they want to use her to raise money.
About Governor Palin’s so-called “lies”. Having taken the trouble to examine over 60 negative allegations and “memes2 hurled against her, I am satisfied that all are either verifiably false, are distotions of innocous facts and events, are overintepretations, are trivial, are sick (the Trig maternity affair), or if they were about Democrats, would be overlooked or ignored. All of which served to smother her real and substantial accomplisments as a political reformer and as a state Governor. Only fools, believing their own propanganda, would underestimate this women. I suspect, judging by their reactions, that the democrat strategists realise this only too well.
Fear Sarah. Fear her like a cockroach fears the bright light. Your unfounded insults toward the woman only show your own abysmal ignorance. Be very afraid.
