I just do not get the right wing love affair with Palin.  Surely the election showed how ineffectual she was.

Do they WANT to lose the next election?  Or will alot of them just take a religious loony, any religious loony to rally behind?

Well from what I've read she's popular in the south she'll be wanted to speak at rallies for GOP candidates over the next few years. 

So she'll be a glorified cheerleader.  That probably suits her.

This is probably right. None of the polls show her as anything more than a middle of the pack candidate in GOP primaries atm. I don't think the GOP wants her as much as some people make it seem.

I hope to God for her sake she's not resigning because of a blogger.

I don't think the public hates her as much as some people make it seem.

McCain won the polls in September after he selected Palin and electrified the country. Then, the stockmarket crashed by the end of the month, and he lost. I refuse to believe Obama's election was as easy many would have you believe. He was damn lucky.

I don't think the GOP wants anyone at the minute.  Understandably given that the next Presidential election isn't for another 3 years.  My impression, though, is that her support in the GOP is a bit like her nationwide appeal.  I think she's got incredibly passionate supporters, but not across a broad base.

McCain won the polls in September after he selected Palin and electrified the country.

Um...that was when she was an unknown and had not opened her mouth yet.

Electrified?  More like horrified.  McCain the mighty maverick chose a wretched creature of the Christian right as his running mate.  Just dreadful.

[Hansmeister]

Never in the history of politics has a politician done so little in such a short period of time to earn so much deranged hatred from the MSM and the Democrats (but I repeat myself) as Sarah Palin has.

She acted like a self-righteous idiot. She deserves condemnation.

Oh, she acted like Obama, or virtually every other politician who has ever run for office.

[Hansmeister]

McCain won the polls in September after he selected Palin and electrified the country.

Um...that was when she was an unknown and the MSM hadn't gone into overdrive creating a fake image of her to smear her with.

Fixed that for ye.  McCain of course made matters worse by first locking her away and letting the msm spin define the narrative, and then throwing her to the wolves by setting her up for interviews with the same hostile MSM that had originally defamed her.  Gross incompetence on the McCain campaign.

The GOP rallied around her for three reasons: First, she is HOTT.  Second, she has been a reform republican quite outside the mold of the inside-the-beltway establishment GOP.  And most importantly, she was hated by all the right people.  It is that last factor that has been her greatest benefit to date.

Obama deserves condemnation.  Virtually every other politician who has ever run for office deserves condemnation.

Nixon was better than any of them.

no. he worked very damn hard and had a better campaign.

[crazy canuck]

No.  Palin acted like a complete idiot.  Nobody comes close.  Well maybe Mr. Potatoe.

[HVC]

Has news leaked that the youngest is now knocked up or something? Seems lieka  weird move by Palin.

Please, nobody in all of the nation acts dumber than Joe Biden.

Even you don't believe that.  Getting asked "what kind of magaizines do you read" is hardly a tough question.
