Reagan-Obama, same thing?
Thank
goodness for Lib rags like Salon, which have been advising the GOP
about who not to run since, what? 1980? News editor Steve Kornack
here warns about 2012 and the GOP's Palin trap, just in case foolish Republican primary voters are feeling suicidal.

[A]
ticket headed by Palin would be hard-pressed to break 40%. Palin as the
nominee would probably make 2012 the most lopsided election victory for
the incumbent President since 1984.

That would be Mondale v. Reagan.
| “
|
The
relevance to Palin is obvious: Like Mondale in '84, she would represent
to the general election audience of 2012 just about everything they'd
rejected in 2008 (and 2006). In nominating her, Republicans would be
saying to the country, "We have learned nothing these last four years.
We have changed nothing."

” |
* Smacks head* Oh, that relevance!
1984 Having
endured four years of Carter malaise, the nation is filled with
new vigor and renewed national pride after Ronald Reagan's first
term. Nobody is sorry they voted for him, and are certainly not
about to bring in a Carter-clone replacement (which is why Mondale is
thrown to the dogs by the DNC to begin with) .
2012 The
parallels are -- huh? It would be a fatal mistake?
... to remind voters -- of the bullet they dodged by
rejecting Palin-McCain for this heaping pile of Obama stink? Nice
try Steve.

Fools. Propagandic idiots. Toast!
ReplyDeleteSarah has a similar effect on both the left and the right. We get miost and they wet their pants.

Ten Tim!
ReplyDeleteI have reluctantly concluded that Sarah won't run for office again. She saw the brass ring and grabbed it with both hands, even though it meant resigning her governorship.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone wants to maintain the fantasy that she will run again, because it gives her greater relevance, but it's not going to happen. She's doing it for her family, mostly to avoid people like this (and the Keith Olbermanns of the world) and to be financially supportive.
Salon's heartfelt concern for the GOP is touching.
ReplyDeleteThey are scared stiff of Sarah because she, more than anyone else, personifies the anti-Obama, which should be a very popular position to be in this November and in November, 2012.
What's with the American Flag pin on B O's lapel?
