Forget the Olympics.... Here we go again..McCain manager predicts Palin could prove 'catastrophic'

[Peacetrain]

WASHINGTON (CNN) — The man who ran John McCain's presidential campaign warned Friday that Sarah Palin could lead to a 'catastrophic' election result for the GOP in 2012 if the former Alaska governor captures the party's presidential nomination.

"I think that she has talents," Steve Schmidt, the former campaign manager of McCain's failed presidential bid, told CNN's John King. "But my honest view is that she would not be a winning candidate for the Republican Party in 2012, and in fact, were she the nominee, we could have a catastrophic election result."

3. I know.. I was coming in to commiserate about Chicago..and came across this story

as I signed in and just started laughing my head off..

I had a instant inkling that the republicans would try and make something out of Chicago not getting the bid... and there it was

A little gift from the Gods.. called Sarah..

They cannot even get 10 minutes anymore before one of their own blows it out of the water..

2. If real health care reform gets enacted they could dig up Reagan

bring him back to life and nominate him and they would still have a "catastrophic election result".

4. "..she has her talents". The problem is, talent just isn't one of her talents.

7. Did he also say that water is wet?

8. Please, don't talk her out of it!

9. i'm wondering if she truly believes she could be president

i mean, really?

i would LOVE for her to run tho, but i can be an asshole

[blue_onyx]

16. I think she does

Palin seems like a very, very confident person.

[Control-Z]

10. You gotta wonder what's in that

tiny head of hers. When she gave up the governorship...what the fuck was she thinking?

She's like a daydreaming 8 yo. "I'm gonna be an astronaut when I grow up". "I'm gonna be a race car driver." "I'm gonna be a beauty queen the president."

12. Awww ... someone pooping in Sarah's soup on the day she's gloating about Letterman.

Too bad. Not.

[old mark]

13. She sure didn't do McCain much good, will do even worse for the GOP in '12.

I really hope she runs and siphons off a ton of the GOP's cash and effort for nothing.

It's risky.. but it could be fun.

15. Operation Crunchwrap Supreme

Codename.

17. McCain himself has changed his tune from saying she would be the right choice for the GOP candidiate

to... something like "We'll have to let the people decide."

Yes, Sarah...your previous running mate sounds like he's running as well...further from you!

18. I WILL vote for her in a primary if given the chance....

... and I will FIND senior citizens to drive to the polls!!!! lol
