Recovering Liberal:
These 43 assorted Beltway insiders, pundits, columnists, talk show hosts, political television show hosts, religious leaders,"progressive" and other bloggers all agree on one subject (or variations thereof) "Sarah Palin won't run for president in 2012."In their "objectivity" they have variously described her as running a clown show, a reality TV show, an ego parade, a personal rehabilitation exercise, a narcissistic agenda, a revenge against the media program and other, varied, descriptions of Palin and her motives. These opinions pontificated from their elitist seats at the table of the oracle's temple.I haven't included the mad "Trig truther" bloggers of course-not crediting them as seers (much less as human beings).The following pundits, linked to their statements so they can't run and hide/deny them, may,shortly, all have egg on their collective faces, damaged, hopefully irreversibly so, reputations, and will have been given a lesson by the master of the new Realpolitik. (What? He left me off? It must really piss this guy off that we are always right.)
Here is the list:
Joshua Green (Boston.com)Taylor MarshHot Air (Patrick Ishmael-Palin’s most likely role in the 2012 cycle would be as a coronator. I still believe that’s basically right.)Thomas TaschingerAce Of Spades; Gabriel Malor "but my money says she's not running " June 26th/11NewsweekDennis DiClaudioBill KristolDennis MillerRobert Paul ReyesEugene RobinsonBrit HumeBill O'ReillyParty Hard PoliticsDavid Letterman-Palin's not running, I wish she were, it would be entertaining.Charles Krauthammer " Showed her power in 2010 as kingmaker and opinion shaper. Must know (I think) she has little chance at the nomination and none in the general election. Why risk it and the inevitable diminishment defeat would bring?. Mitch Daniels has 6-1 chance for nomination/Barbour 7-1.George WillDavid BrooksFred MalekMichael SavageKarl RoveJohn HarwoodMichael Stickings (Moderate Voice)Dan KaripidesBig ThinkGrover NorquistFranklin GrahamBooman TribuneTim Heffernan (Esquire)Lawrence O'DonnellJonathan CapehartAnn CoulterMark McKinnonJohn FeeheryOpinion L.A.Jason CampbellJoshua Green (The Atlantic)Jumping In PoolsKathleen O'Brien (Star-Ledger)Paul Harris (Guardian U.K.)Opinion WritingsIan StevensonDamn! Is there anybody even left? I mean isn't that just about EVERYBODY who has discussed Palin's potential candidacy? (Except foe the "Trig-Truthers" of course.)
Well personally I am leaning toward Snowdrift Snooki not running as well, but I will always leave open the possibility that she will launch some half-ass temporary campaign to reinvigorate her base, before unceremoniously quitting over some completely fabricated family crisis.
(BTW as you can imagine the Sea O'Pee loved this post and also
linked to it. You know I love the smell of desperation in the morning!)
