    posted from the other palin thread ... yes ... she can definitely win ...

    *************************************
    in any case - she can win because of 3 essential things:

    1. the voting system - because of the electoral colleges, she only has to win x number of states ... she could theoretically get 35% of the popular vote and still win ...
    2. an ignorant voter base - most people continue to vote strictly on the letter next to the name ... partisanship and the feeling that is the only option has killed democracy in the USA
    3. the power of media and PR ... hopefully, you will get a chance to read the book i suggested in the other thread for you ... in any case, this radical right as i call them are very savvy ... their smear campaigns and negative ads as well as their willingness to lie makes them a very powerful especially considering point 2 above ... also, the indoctrination of right wing myths is perpetuated across the country through right wing pundits, right wing op-ed web sites and blogs, these guys take the play book and they run with it everywhere ... take global warming for instance ... having studied the science - i guarantee you that it is real and that in reality it is not very hard to prove ... yet, half of americans don't believe in it ... with the majority of those people voting republican ... and that is again because of their ability to work on their base through aggressive PR mechanisms ... there was a board member here all the time that used to post link after link denying global warming and in each time it was proven to be published by someone linked to a right wing think tank that is funded by big oil ... yet, no matter how many other links anyone else would post, he would continue to post these pieces that had no substance ... that is what i'm talking about - he has been indoctrined and that goes for a whole whack of people ...

    so, yes, she can most definitely win ... heck, look at her daughter on that show ... she is the worst dancer but yet she's in the finals ... same thing for her mother ... worst candidate ever and she could be president ...

    I think she might have costed McCain the last election. I think people actually know that she is completely incapable of running the country. I just think the media and the circus surrounding her make her look more popular than she is to the weirdo pop-culturists and give her (and some people) the illusion that she could actually stand a chance. I wish I didnt have to see her mug plastered all over the fucking place, it's getting old.

    I kid you not when I say I will leave this fucking country if she ever steps foot in DC.

    Well I'm living in S Florida now. FL is sort of a long extension of the US which sort of separates it from the rest of the country, try driving it's length. ;)

    Speaking of Murkowski, that election shows you a lot of what power Palin doesn't have... She couldn't get a guy elected in her own state...

    GWB had 9/11 helping him. Palin does not.

    unless we find pictures of Obama eating babies while wearing a nazi uniform, pissing on a jesus cross, all while at his same sex marriage....she stands no chance against him. If the GOP nominates her, I think my dream will finally com true and a third party candidate will actually emerge. Here's to hoping.

    yeah i was going to say something like that but for some reason "fishin'" sounded funnier to me.

    she might be able to defeat him at bowling too, but he would take her to school in a basketball game and a general election...

    9/11 didn't get bush elected in 2004 ... by then it would have been clear he entered the country into a for profit war ... his approval ratings would have been below 50% by then ...

    look ... her daughter is apparently on a dancing show where she is the worst dancer and yet she is in the finals ... palin's biggest asset would be that they would launch a large smear campaign on a residing president during the worst economic downturn in decades ... all she would have to do is run on a campaign of getting americans to work and cutting wasteful spending ... she would be a shoe in ...

    people ...

    we just elected a moron and convicted drug and dui to be mayor of toronto ... before anyone says its just municipal ... toronto is one of the largest gov'ts in the country ...

    the guy ran on a campaing of cleaning house, cutting taxes, lies and empty promises ... he won by a landslide ... the right are on the rise and their biggest weapon is voter ignorance ... the tea party may not have gotten all their candidates in but they sure got a few ... it's just the beginning ...
