if Palin is just focusing on making money - very smart move.
But if Palin really wants to become president - bad move. Right now her "brand" has become "wacky dingbat that everyone is laughing at". Nobody is going to feel comfortable with that person being commander-in-chief.
I suspect that Palin is much smarter than her "brand" makes it seem. Forg ...[text shortened]... t in her. Anyone who gives her kids names like Track and Trig is capable of doing this.
Originally posted by MelanerpesThis is a bit of a over statement. Her brand as you say,is actually "Reagan conservative" She sold over a million books in the second week of sales.No one else in the GOP could come close to this imo.I would not say everyone is laughing at her.

He was what John Wayne could only aspire to be. He was majestic. Only Reagan could say "there you go again" and pull it off so well.

I experienced the Reagan era. I experienced his brand. Sarah Palin is no Ronal ...[text shortened]... igure out what it means to be a "Palin conservative" and then actually go rogue.
Originally posted by utherpendragonthe reason I say "everyone is laughing at her" is because they remember all the flubs she made during the 2008 campaign when she was clearly not ready to be VP. She was busy dealing with Alaska issues and all of a sudden she was thrust into the limelight and being asked questions about foreign policy and all she could think of saying was how she could see Russia from her house.

I know Palin is no Reagan,I am not saying she is. She claims to be a Reagan conservative.
Personally, I do not think she can make even a real run at President let alone become President. She does have a big following though and does strike a chord.
I just do not agree at is for sure.They are not the majority and do not accuratley represent the heart of America.
Originally posted by KazetNagorraThats funny.But I would like to see you run a state as Governor. The woman is very competant but, is not polished as a D.C. politician.And I think that is the appeal for many.
It's just Fox News cementing its role as the only true "Fair and Balanced" news network. Now they are even showing the news from the viewpoint of the mentally challenged.
Originally posted by utherpendragonI would make a bad politician since I'm not a very good liar. However, in terms of policy and ideology I would naturally be a vastly better governor than Sarah Palin.

Cut her some slack.
