Palin Soaks Up Media Spotlight

attn media: leave alaska. leave sarah alone. she has nothing of any substance to say. go out and cover real news. when sarah notices that there's nobady there, she'll go back to doing whatever it was she did before; governing a state with a population roughly the same as the city of scranton.

It's not that the Republican party needs to reform itself, what we need to do is get back to common sense fiscal conservatism. While Sarah Palin seems to be getting all the attention she does NOT represent this belief. The state she governs, Alaska, has the highest government handout ($2,000 per year per resident) of any state in the country which gives it the distinction of being the #1 welfare state. Sarah is a social conservative who is led by her church. This is not the type of leadership we Republicans need. What we do need is a strong fiscal conservative to show us the way back to responsible government and I believe that person is S.C. Governor Mark Sanford. He will bring back the core fiscal conservative values that were held by William F Buckley and Barry Goldwater.

Sarah Palin, watching you is like watching a train wreck. That's the only reason you are still in the news.

It is fun to see Sarah continues to turn libs into quivering masses of spineless fury. It truly is amazing. Your guy won the election but you are still mesmerized by Sarah and impotently trying to destroy her. You still cannot get past her. In reality, she has outwitted you and will continue to do so. You created Reagan with you mindless attacks and are now well on your way to creating Reagan II.

Amazing...

Those of you that bash Palin for her lack of experience...readily accept Obama as President...A man that never held an executive position in govenrment and voted "present" many times in his short Senate gig...there;s your double standard

Amazing is right.....we were all amazed at One Flew Over The Cocos Nest

I sure hope the Republicans nominate Palin in 2012. That would set their party back another dozen years.

Hey Sarah how's your Witch Doctor doing? Obviously not so good. His spells didn't work well this time right Sarah?

I think ABC is in Love with Palin, there is not a day that goes by that there is not a story about her, why don't you give it a rest and stop giving these idiots on this blog red meat, they seem to salivate everytime they hear her name, especially the ignorant uniformed women. Give it a rest, the woman is back in Alaska, running her State, let her work there speak for her.

It appears it will be non-stop Sarah Palin from here on into the 2004 election. Yes!!!! Every show she goes on has record ratings. She is the only one getting any press. Even Barry is drawing less attention.

She continues to exhibit that happy warriors heart despite the endless attacks from the impotent left. This will increase her standing with open minded Americans. She will continue to shape her agenda and will continue to win converts to her common sense conservatism.

How many intelligent people would vote for someone who believes in the Rapture and that Adam and Eve had pet dinosauers?

Sienna, it isn't just ABC news. It is all of the channels and all of the tv shows. Sarah draws a crowd, just as she did on the campaign trail. I think the press realizes that there is something there that is truly genuine. She is a future star of the political scene.

Traditional Republican...please get your facts straight...the natural resources of Alaska that produce the state dividends to the citizens BELONG TO ALASKAN CITIZENS..not the oil companies that lease them..there is a partnership in place to share in the wealth of those resources that actually are public property...this is not the same as giving money to one group of people that don;t have ownership rights in the product or service that genereated that wealth...that what socialism is..giving money and benefits to those that didn;t earn it nor have any property rights to the assets that generated that wealth

Exactly what has Palin done that all these people hate her? I like the fact that Palin is an outsider, instead of some out of touch ivy league lawyer with a degree from Harvard, Yale, or other pompous school. She is one of us, an average citizen, that wanted to help her community/state/country. Our forefathers, you know the geniuses behind our Constitution, wanted citizens to go to Washington, help the country and then go home. How many bozos in Washington have been there forever? What have they accomplished...NOTHING. Congress and all offices need term limits. 2 terms, you are out. No more pompous politicians...we need more Sarah Palins.

Truthteller, you are absolutely right. The government is not supposed to profit, the people are.

Sarah Palin supporters are the losers who voted for Bush,enough said! True Americans reject Sarah Palin. She's truly a diva.She "only"appeals to the ignorant uneducated Rightwingers White Supremists and Biblethumpers. Remember McCain lost mainly because of Caribou Barbie.

Most countries voters want a highly educated capable leader who is in the mainstream. Caribou Barbie is neither. Fact!

James: "Exactly what has Palin done that all these people hate her?"

Nothing. Literally - her record in Alaska makes Obama, who has actually written some good laws on the books today, look experienced. Also, the majority of people have decided it's nice to have someone intelligent and honestly good in government making policy, as opposed to an idiot just like me.

AJ,

What is happening with Sarah Palin now was predictable. The press went after her with a vengeance, repeating things they had to know were simply not true. Now they are getting a chance to actually talk to her, to share stories about their families, to look her in the eye and take the measure of the person. What are they finding? Sarah is a warm, optimistic, hard working, dynamic, and very intelligent woman. The press is biased agasinst conservatives in general but once they actual sit with someone of character, like Sarah, they find it much more difficult to support the smear campaign.

I only wish McCain had allowed her to hold open press conferences where this side could have come out.

AJ, if you ever meet her you will come to the same conclusion, and I believe you know this.

mitch- I agree, but the viciouness of these people are unbelievable and it seems lie the way that they word the Headings of the story is to create drama. They know what is being said on these blogs and they continue to feed into it. ABC and CNN are the worst their bloggers are vicious and they continue to feed them.
