Surprised nobody has made a thread about this yet...
As most of you probably already know, Sarah Palin announced on July 3rd that she'd be resigning from her position as AK Governor, effective at the end of the month. Thoughts? -------------------- |

i think at this point "using her" is mostly to their disadvantage.
she was their puppet during the election. a Hillary replacement she may be seen as supreme to the far right conservatives, but the majority of American voters sit more towards the middle. i think they see right through the "using her" ploy. -------------------- Don't sweat the petty, pet the sweaty.

QUOTE (cmac @ Jul 8 2009, 01:49 PM)  but the majority of American voters sit more towards the middle. I don't see that this comment has any basis whatsoever. YOU sit more towards the middle perhaps, but just like these 1,000 people polls (laughable) which supposedly determine the entire country's opinions, I don't see it as accurate. Sure Obama got elected, but that was because of minorities, plain and simple. QUOTE (cmac @ Jul 8 2009, 01:49 PM) i think they see right through the "using her" ploy. I don't mean using her as a ploy. I mean having her play a role in the party. And how could you think anyone would "see right through it" even if it was a ploy? That's sure not what happened during the presidential campaign. She boosted McCain big time. Whether you see this as a ploy or not is irrelevant. |

Whether you see this as a ploy or not is irrelevant. Are you kidding? Most say that it would have been a LOT closer if that box of rocks hadn't pulled down mcCain. NO ONE wanted that air head to take over as president if McCain croaked. Using her to thier advantage would be giving her a ticket to Alaska and never hearing from her again. and saying "Sure Obama got elected, but that was because of minorities, plain and simple" is pretty dumb and not really looking at how he got elected at all. I know you don't get any of your opinions from facts, but seriously... -------------------- |
