| In the aftermath of the election, the Left's #1 priority is....... |
| 2010-11-10 |
| Slublog @ Ace of Spades Imagine you're a lefty. No, wait, come back. This is only a thought exercise. There's no patchouli or granola involved. Honest. Okay, now think about it: two years after it seemed a new era of (liberal) hope and change had swept the nation, your ideology was soundly rejected by the American people. Surely it is now time to take a breather, carefully study the election results and ask yourself what message the American people were trying to send. Or, you could lash out at someone you hate and embark on a petty campaign against their latest venture. Guess which path the left has chosen? It's one thing if Fox News gives Sarah Palin a platform. But when Discovery Communications — home to the Discovery Channel, the "Planet Earth" series, the Science Channel, Animal Planet, and TreeHugger.com — gives a show to Sarah Palin, it undercuts everything the Discovery brand has come to represent. Even now, two years after the presidential election, Palin still possesses the power to drive lefties into paroxysms of spittle-flecked rage. It is something to behold. At the link is a petition. Where they want your thoughts. You know, if you've got the time or inclination. Just saying.... |

| #15 I would like to see Sarah take the GOP chairman job. She's dynamite as a fundraiser and has shown good instincts on whom to support. She also drives the left nuts which is just a bonus. |

| #13 Nope, her virtue is in revealing that the left are batshit crazy. |

| #12 I agree NS. She has found her niche and it ain't in the political fields. It is to bring a new conservative voice to the land and to keep driving the liberals bat-shit crazy. |

| #10 She is the closest Rush has come to having a successor in the New Media. She is a fine wine and will continue to gain power as she matures. Running prematurely and losing would snuff her light out far too soon. Better a kingmaker than a king, for her. |

| #9 the ballot will be full of McCains ie. Romny, Huckleberry, Gingrich, and she is better known than Pawlenty, Demint, Barbour etc.... She will be a viable force and because she is polarizing will get a lot of people off the fence. |

| #8 What's with the PC waffling guys? Not PC waffling, just the truth. She is too polarizing for leadership and I have doubts about her ability to get the other side to work with her and compromise more in her favor. There are things she has said that makes me go, "Really Sarah, Really?" But, I think she is a very strong and talented spokeswoman and does a spectacular job of keeping the attention on her rather than on what the other Republicans are doing. So, if she was the Republican choice for President would I vote for her? YES! If she was one of the choices on a primary ballot would I vote for her? Most likely not. Unless the ballot was full of McCains. |

| #7 James, She has your friends on the left's number...she drives them nuts. They just have a hissy fit at the mention of her name. Prozak sales in SFO go through the roof any time she is on television. Karl, Those nutjobs and wingnuts on the left are not friends of mine. They are dangerous out of control single issue loons who would sign a surrender treaty with Andorra rather than break a sweat at anything except typing on their myspace page. |

| #6 Captain Kirk made a piss-poor Admiral too. Sarah seems to be pretty damn good right where she is. Sometimes its more powerful and effective to be in a position of Influence than direct control. I can easily see her as a Secretary (Interior or Homeland Security, Energy, EPA...) I'll probably vote for her in a Primary and for President. But I'm hoping for something even better. |

| #4 What's with the PC waffling guys? DV: , I like Sara but have reservations about her ability to be a national leader. Why the "but"? I have reservations about EVERYONE's ability to ba a national leader, BUT, her head and heart seem to be in the right place and I know of nothing in her past that concerns me other than lack of experience. SW: I don't know that I would vote for her as president in 2012, but ... Again with the BUT! Who says you have to decide now? Is there ANY Dimocrap that you would prefer to Sarah? If not, let's see how it goes. NIATOB: have doubts about her abilities as a quarterback, but AYAB!!!! (and yet another but) Exactly what are your doubts that they are so worrysome that you have to bring them out like a Republican at an ACLU conference? I think that she's orders of magnitude better equipped than what we've got and probably almost that much better than any of the standard issue Republican gray beard weasles. Let's just cheer her on and see what the next year brings, hmmm? |

| #3 In football terms: I have doubts about her abilities as a quarterback, but she has proven herself as a fullback by blocking hard as a lead back, opening holes for teammates, protecting the QB, running well, breaking tackles and making the tough yards despite getting hit hard. |

| #2 I don't know that I would vote for her as president in 2012, but I truly, truly appreciate how she drives the professional Left absolutely mad. It's a gift ... |

| #1 For the record, I like Sara but have reservations about her ability to be a national leader. That being said however, she is the best I have ever seen at running interference against the left. You go girl! |
