The fact is Palin is not POTUS material.

BUT ... nobody leading or currently holding the spot is either.

I think the right clings to her because she atleast speaks her mind and doesn't consider what is PC before speaking.

This is the same reason Trump could win. People, all sides, want someone who actually says what everyone is thinking and isn't always trying to cover the butt.

On an honest note though, this little blunder is nothing compared to our POTUS blunder with Israel recently. At least Paul Revere isn't going to go on global tv and tell Palin she's a dumbazz to her face and needs to learn something about the subject before talking about it.

I have no issue with what Obama said to Israel.

Israel Bissel did more than Paul Revere ever dreamed of doing.
He rode over 4 days for a distance of 345 miles. Revere rode less than 20 miles. History is fickle.

I loathe Palin, but she simply misspoke. Not a major issue, IMO.

I agree.

Although, I have to say, in her interview yesterday with Wallace, her comment that it was a "gotcha" question" seems pretty lame. I've been trying to find what the question was, exactly, with no success so far. But its hard to imagien it could be a "gotcha."

She tends to overuse that excuse, imo.

In this day and age, I think you have to assume every question is a "gotcha" question if you're a politician.

Only if you don't know the answer.

Examples of non-gotcha questions for Palin seems limited to:

"What time is it?"

and

"What time is it?"

Because they are terrified that another Reagan will rise out of conservatism who isn't a pet like the establishment GOP. Any person who might pick up the Reagan mantle will be subject to relentless attacks from the MSM lefties. They chuckled at Reagan. They didn't take him serious until it was too late. He then made a habit of laughing at them or showing them the back of his hand. They won't make that mistake again in this generation.

I'm not saying Palin is a Reagan like leader... just that the MSM will try to destroy anyone who even hints at being one.

Jindal seems to be a possibility. He also seems to be pretty clean... but they jump on him too.

Conservative women and minorities seem to be particularly hated targets. It kills the storyline that the conservative movement is made up of old white guys with money.

Easily the dumbest and most uninformed statement ever posted in this forum. Well.........one of them anyway

It's 1) her voice; 2) her glib sarcasm, coming from someone with basically no clue what she's talking about; and, 3) her voice.

Stupid??? No, that is historically accurate.

Revere's own account.

Even the ultra liberal LASlimes is saying the people calling Palin stupid are the stupid ones.

So do all credible historians, example A;

Boston University history professor Brendan McConville said, “Basically when Paul Revere was stopped by the British, he did say to them, ‘Look, there is a mobilization going on that you’ll be confronting,’ and the British are aware as they’re marching down the countryside, they hear church bells ringing — she was right about that — and warning shots being fired. That’s accurate.”


Maybe you should punt on first down instead of saying stupid ****.

Care to quote what Palin said and cite where it was correct?

I think the issue here is, and the sane among us can probably agree, is that she isn't dumb but she isn't very adept at taking the thoughts in her head and putting them out of her mouth cohesively or as she intended.

I always get the impression with her, that no matter what the question, she reverts to a memorized set of Q&A that her and her team have created. So most of her answers seem off the mark, because no one asks the exact question she rehearsed. Apparently she believes she isn't very good at answering questions on the fly.

I don't think anyone that dim could end up governor of Alaska, starting from pretty humble beginning with schoolteacher parents. She's not the brightest bulb on the political landscape though.

I think my view got tainted a little by those TLC shows on Alaska she did. She came across as having a caring, hard-working family that genuinely loved Alaska and the people there. I don't watch her on O'Reilly or Hannity, I can't really stomach those shows anymore.

btw, to the extent anyone questions if she is subject to closer scrutiny than others on subjects like this, the answer is probably. But she sort of invites it when she claims to be the defender of our history and heritage and rides around in a bus with this on the side:

There are others out there like that. Governor Kitzhaber here in OR is currently in his second separate stint as governor, and he's had a number of good, outside the box ideas that have worked for their given situation but get him in front of a reporter's mic and he's terrible.

Being quick on your feet is usually a good sign, but just because you're not doesn't mean you won't be good at your job.

The 'gotcha' question charge is her go to line. How is asking a history question a 'gotcha' question when one is supposedly on a tour of significant American historical sites?

Book Excerpt: ‘Bring Her Down?: How the American Media Tried to Destroy Sarah Palin | Conservatives4Palin

No one would deny that the media have a right, indeed a duty, to inquire into and report extensively on the lives of political candidates. But it was unprecedented that the media would focus with laserlike intensity on one vice presidential candidate, almost to the exclusion of the other three candidates in the election, including the two running for the presidency.

It is arguable that the media’s obsession with every detail of Sarah Palin’s life and career—and many details that existed only in the imaginations of her detractors—led directly to their neglecting to pay attention on any significant level to crucial details of then-Senator Barack Obama’s life and career.
-----------------------------------

As journalist Mika Brzezinski—no right-winger—would later recall on MSNBC’s Morning Joe:

Members of the network media elite as well as members and people who worked for the New York Times, when Sarah Palin first came on the scene and this is what they knew about her: She was a woman, she was pro-life, and she had some very, very conservative views on other issues. And all I could hear from my friends in the network media elite was, “Let’s bring her down. I hope these rumors bring her down.” And at a party where there were people from the New York Times, all they would talk about is the rumors that they hoped would bring her down. They did not know her. They didn’t know anything about her. But they wanted to bring her down.

The question that this sort of monolithic reaction raised for many observers was, simply: Why? Why did the majority of the members of the press respond to Palin with such visceral dislike, and act on that dislike to an extent unprecedented in recent history? Why was it that, as a report from the Culture and Media Institute noted in October, “ABC, NBC and CBS news shows . . . are running 18 negative stories [on Palin] for every positive one?” It’s doubtful that Saddam Hussein ever found himself on the receiving end of that much negativity from the American press. Was it truly the candidate’s flaws that brought out reporters’ bloodlust, as they would have us believe—or was it something in themselves and their own worldview? As Brzezinski hinted, it’s far more likely to have been the latter.
