I did not see the person you described and called &amp;quot;Sarah Palin.&amp;quot; I saw the woman, who on the campaign trail and in her big speeches and rallies could not complete a coherent sentence. I saw the woman who could not muster a serious thought, repeatedly refer to her fellow governors as &amp;quot;you guys&amp;quot; and instead of saying &amp;quot;yes,&amp;quot; said &amp;quot;yup.: I saw the woman who threw the red meat of &amp;quot;palling around with terrorists (plural) stray very much off message to talk about &amp;quot;voting present&amp;quot;. I saw the woman who seductively chanted &amp;quot;Drill, Baby, Drill,&amp;quot; confess she didn't know anything about the President-elect's substantial energy policy -- one that consists of far more than &amp;quot;drilling&amp;quot; and seductive cooing. I saw the woman who enjoyed a $150,000 (or more) shopping spree at GOP expense prattle on about Joe the Plumber and Tito the Builder. And I watched the confused faces of her fellow governors and other GOP elites who could not figure out what the hell she was talking about, and what relevance it had to the future of GOP and what the RGA will need to do in the next two years. I watched many of them take stock again of the woman who had been their standard-bearer and compare her to the new faces they saw the day before (Tim Pawlenty, in particular). &amp;quot;Why in hell, did John McCain pick her of all people?&amp;quot; they had to be asking themselves. &amp;quot;And if this is our future, I'll continue to live in the past,&amp;quot; they must have been thinking. At least those were the &amp;quot;Glory Days.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &amp;nbsp;Fat A!! Republican Whore Monger won't win a state but Georgia, he's not &amp;nbsp;old as McCain, but he's old and he should be relegated to doing &amp;nbsp;Fox Commentary and &amp;nbsp;Paid Republican Speeches, like Karl Mr. Potatoe Head Rove.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Leading The News &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gingrich says Palin will not be the future GOP leader &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By Alexander Bolton &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Posted: 11/16/08 01:05 PM [ET] &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) is batting down the hype that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin heads into 2012 as the frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Palin energized the Republican base after GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) tapped her as his running mate and she has tried to preserve her high public profile since Election Day. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But Gingrich, an architect of the Republican revolution of 1994, took Palin down a notch, asserting that she would not become the party’s leader, as some have predicted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I think that she is going to be a significant player,” said Gingrich during an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation”. “But she’s going to be one of 20 or 30 significant players. She’s not going to be the de facto leader.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since the defeat of the GOP ticket, Palin has pursued an aggressive media strategy, scheduling a full slate of interviews to keep her face on television. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CNN aired a lengthy, wide-ranging interview between Wolf Blitzer and Palin on Sunday. Palin has also sat down for interviews with CNN’s Larry King, Fox New’s Greta Van Susteren, and invited Matt Lauer of the “Today Show” to Wasilla for dinner. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Palin refused to rule out a presidential bid in 2012 during her interview with Blitzer, which aired on CNN’s “Late Edition.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some political analysts, citing her high name identification and loyal following among the base, say that Palin will be a frontrunner for the GOP nomination in 2012.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Palin dominated media coverage at the Republican Governors Association meeting in Miami last week. She grabbed the spotlight at a Thursday press conference, answering reporters’ questions while a dozen other GOP governors stood awkwardly behind her on stage. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Crowds of reporters and cameras chased Palin in Miami while ignoring more experienced colleagues from other states. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But Gingrich on Sunday sought to divert some media attention away from Palin and to other governors such as Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) and Utah Gov. John Huntsman (R).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“She’s going to be a much bigger story in the short run,” said Gingrich, explaining Palin’s higher media profile compared to other GOP governors. “But, I think, as she goes back to being governor and as she works in Alaska, you’re going to see a group of governors emerge, not just Sarah Palin.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gingrich said Huntsman and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) may emerge as political leaders on the economy while Jindal could claim the mantel on healthcare reform.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I would say, for example, to Republicans who are about to face this question of how do you get the economy growing again, bring in Gov. Daniels and bring in Gov. Huntsman….”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“If you want to understand healthcare, you can do a lot worse than to bring in Bobby Jindal who may well know more about health policy than any other elected official in America and is doing an extraordinary job in Louisiana.”&lt;/p&gt;

First, we were overjoyed to hear a women was selected for vp, but, since she was introduced and performed her scripted speech I knew she was not what McCain &amp;amp; staff claimed. Palin was not an independent, intelligent, well-spoken women, she was a puppet that McCain chose to do his dirty work, appropriately named ...pit bull with lipstick. As the weeks passed and she did the interviews, she made it obvious she was not qualified to be a vp, much less president. She could not put a whole sentence together. I must say, Karl Rove nor Newt Gingrich have the face to talk. The are billed as highly intelligent, well they must have hid it somewhere because the Republican Party could not get rid of Gingrich fast enouch, and Rove could not-did not do the most important assignment of his life---to wisely advise our president. &amp;nbsp;Thanks to Rove and Chenery Bush will go down in history as the worst president ever. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Poor job on the parts of idiot Rove and Cheney---if that is smart, I rather stay dumb. &lt;/p&gt;
