A bunch of Republicans who may seek to replace President Obama are out and about today, and it sounds like the White House would like to dub Sarah Palin the front-runner."I have no doubt that she is a formidable force in the Republican Party and may well be, in all honesty, the most formidable force in the Republican Party right now," said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs. -USA Today
Are we in the twilight zone? Maybe the world really is going to end in 2012…
Sarah Palin is now being touted as the Republican front-runner for the 2012 Presidential Election.
The media may have really shot themselves in the foot with this one. They have sensationalized her to the point of celebrity. It doesn’t matter whether they portray her in a good light or not, as the saying goes “bad publicity is better than no publicity,” and if we learned anything from the 2008 Presidential Election it is that ‘celebrity’ can be the winning factor these days. Washington D.C. is turning into the new Hollywood
It seems that the more she is mocked and made fun of, the stronger her fan base becomes. After the 2008 election I figured she would fall off the map or become a contestant on Dancing with the Stars (her daughter took that route)…not go on to become the leader of the free world. The woman who once said, "As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America Alaska
Whether or not she will actually be able to hold her own come election time is not clear. She was un-successful under the pressure of interviews and debates last election, but she has not let that stop her yet. As she recently stated so eloquently, you either, “Buck up or stay in the truck.”
Hilarious! I agree with Gibbs, however. She is the only one right now is continues to consistantly draw crowds, and rake in the checks. That does not mean that she is is "formidable" to actually run for President. She pretty much ruined that chance in 2008 by showing us how uninformed she really is. The White House may also be saying this as sort of a reverse trick. In reality , I think that they (and all Democrats) would absolutely LOVE for Palin to run. LOVE.
