well, that pretty much kills any chance she has at being taken as a serious candidate for President. If there was any chance in the first place.
here's what fox news watchers can look forward to... [video=youtube;NrzXLYA_e6E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrzXLYA_e6E[/video]
I'm sure she's thought all that through. As an aside, Mike Huckabee has stated that he still might consider running................and he's currently on the Fox News staff.
Killing what? Respectable discourse? Besides, just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good. You may think that sounds elitist, but I refuse to accept that American Idol is the best thing on TV for five years straight.
Personally I will be watching to see what she says. I don't give Palin a lot of political crediblity. But you have to recognize that she speaks for a very passionate, and rather large, group of Americans. I don't agree with her on a majority of things, but to ignore her is to ignore a rising political mindset that is currently present in our country.
Huckabee stands no chance either. If the Republicans want to have a serious go at the 2012 election (which, with the way nothing seems to have been done yet, they can), they need to seriously go against the normal "pick a religious guy" mantra. They need to step away from the Fox News/Glen Beck/Rush Limbaugh Republicans, and go more towards the regular republicans who aren't clamoring for tea parties, and birth certificates, and the other tin-foil shit they do. The Republicans themselves have done more damage to the party, by allowing a bigoted, ignorant and sexist minority of their party control it. Less Rush and Glen would do the party a HUGE favor.
Yeah, I hear ya regarding the Republican Party needing to take a serious examination of themselves, their values, and their strategy moving forth. Should be interesting. Speaking of interesting, have you noticed the race heating up in Massachusetts between Scott Brown(R) and Martha Coakley(D)? As Laugh In's Artie Johnson once remarked, "Vely Intelething."
