He can't change jack shit until he becomes President. Do you want him to kick out George W. Bush from the Whitehouse as we speak? You people tries to blame Barack Obama for the recession and he isn't even President yet.

What are you talking about? And how is it relevant to what I said? Nothing you mentioned justifies NOT paying attention to what Obama does during the transition period. These actions may be indicative of what we can find in the future, because the cabinet, or other people Presidents have called to serve intheir early days often give a decent indicatioon of what they wil do in the futyre, because Presidents often pick people THEY feel that can either implement policy; or, be so inclined to the President's liking taht these appointed peole will have near total power over a given area (like HUD for expample). In other words, it's all worth paying attention to discussing what it might mean, and sharing knowledge about the careers of these people and stuff like that. Why shouldn't people discuss such things? |

Why are you even talking about Barack Obama in a thread thats about Sarah Palin? Why not? It stands to reason that if we are talking about one person on the ticket in the past election that lost, we just MIGHT discuss at least tangentially the one who won, and what he is doing, and how it might effect the future, one element of that future being sarah palin, which is the subject of this thread. Why do you not want to discuss such things? |

That's a four-year commitment, pal. No thanks. Okay, I'll call. Can I place a side bet against you on that? Any amount of money says he still remembers her in twenty weeks time. YOU name the price and the currency. Send a PM of you have the guts to make an actual wager on this.
You'd remember the money more than you'd remember Palin. |

He'd never actually take that bet, Fisher. I'm sure he knows that Palin is not going to forgotten any time soon, particularly by me. If she were a flash in the pan, she would have been dropped by the media and ignored by all the people that now want to get their hands on her (figuratively speaking) as soon as the election ended. I mean the most of the mainstream media don't even like her, but they still have to cover her because she's too big. Just so you know, Sepher, she's made an indelible impression on me, so there's no way I'll be forgetting her any time soon. Right now, there's only one person I can think of who I might support in a race against Palin, and that is Bobby Jindal. If he decides to run for President in 2012, I'll be taking a long hard look at both of them. "If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking." ~ George S Patton |

Zin may remember her in 2012 but I would wager that the rest of the voting population will have as much memory of Sarah Palin as the 2004 runner-up on American Idol. |

Biden is VP and we have already forgotten about him. When Hillery becomes SoS, Biden will have no job. Palin/Jindal or Jindal/Palin would be hard for the dems to have anyone to compete. I would like to see some of the prior military up and comers start moving up the ladder too. You know when a leftest runs out of ideas...it is when they pull out the racist card. |

It's easy to remember money, so I have no doubt you'd remember the bet. |

I guarantee if I didn't read these boards, I'd already have forgotten about her. She is a non-factor in my life afterall. Quite certainly could have been, but coulda, shoulda, wouldas. You can't say the same about President-elect Barack Obama. He's definitely someone you can't prevent from being in your life the next four years. |

This is a great development, because Palin will lead the GOP into a wilderness it will never find its way out of. Republicans with any intelligence reject her outright.
Disagree. She IS EXACTLY what the Republican party wants in a candidate- pro-life, pro-military, small government, less taxes and reducing welfare and entitlement programs. If your basing your intelligence comment on Sarah's two bad interviews- do you honestly not know how left wing Couric and Gibson are? They could interview ANY Republican in the country and edit the crap out of the interview to make the person look like they had the aptitude of a kindergartner. Republicans with any intelligence know she has done a phenomenal job running Alaska. She had a shocking approval rating in the high 80's and low 90's as Governor since she was elected. Well, until McCain chose her as his running mate and she dropped into the high 60's because the Alaska Democrats decided miraculously overnight they didn't approve of her anymore LOL! Compare that to the 9% approval rating Senators have. And to the OP- I have been researching Bobby Jindal and I like him too! I, also, saw a interview with the Gov. of Texas and that man seemed like the whole package- intelligent, excellent personality and very well spoken. Would love to see either of them run in 2012 or 2016:)

In other words, you like using the internet to make false statements, thankful that anonymity protects you. |

I’ve even been there a few times myself. “Ah, one of the lower 48ers” They really don’t like the rest of the US or care what's going on down here, well most don’t.

She is a clear, intelligent, well spoken Barry Goldwater conservative. She has done as much or more than Obama has done, or Bill Clinto had done when he ran for office. The fact that she sparks that Reagan hate/fear reaction on the left is more than enough reason to love her. They can smell a real threat. She will show her face, and actually HAS been showing her face. watch and learn. |

I like him better as well, but at the time he was busy in Louisiana -- plus he knew things would not go well with a RINO like McCain. Another smart young Republican with a bright future. |

No, word is that it was because Jindal said no. |

Sarah Palin is utterly inept. I really hope she keeps running for office, because that's a guaranteed W for the Dems. So I started to walk into the water. I won't lie to you boys...I was terrified. But I pressed on, and as I made my way past the breakers, a strange calm came over me. I don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things, but I tell you, Jerry, at that moment ... I was a marine biologist. |

I think she's a moron. Few knew who she was till McCain picked her and no one cared. She’s proven to the world she was fail in lipstick and she continues to do so. Her 15 min of fame is over, and other than a small select group of middle aged horny guys and stay at home soccer moms she appeals to no one. How is she the best thing since Reagan? What has she done to show us that she is a worthy candidate for anything other than being Governor of Alaska?
