The Republican establishment wants Palin to go away. |
|
We can't let that happen. She needs to be the presidential nominee next time around. She'll be such a train wreck that the downballot races will allow us to get congress back. You heard it hear first.

2. Not as much as I want her to go away. |
|
Oh God - does that mean I am in total agreement with the Republican Establishment?? Oh my head hurts!

3. I think it's gonna happen - they'll get their way. |
|
All that big money behind the Boehner-type Republicans can certainly shut up a Sarah Palin.

4. She will, early in the 2012 primaries, soon as she's accumulated enough of a warchest. |
|
At which point she can drop out and keep it to continue her little machine running.

5. You have far more faith in the American people than I do at this point |
|
the republicans have, for more than 30 years, often used a populist-sounding mouthpiece that touts god, guns and glory to create a coalition of right wing ideologies.
Someone who is cunning rather than "policy smart" is their preferred face on the milk carton of governance.

6. ...Did you not just see what happened last week? |
|
Corporate money does funny things to people. Like manipulating half a country. Christine Fucking O'Donnell got 40%. That's 42% more than she should have gotten.
If the Citizens United ruling is repealed, then let Sarah run, but until then, I'm not comfortable with it.

That's one of his jobs, and he's good at it.

8. I think it's out of his hands |
|
I think they now realize that in American states with a predominantly white population, there is no longer to wacky, too nutty, or too far right. Not yet, anyway. As many have pointed out - O'Donnell won the white vote in Delaware. That should give everyone -- including Karl - pause.

The train wreck analogy is apt indeed.
Palin/Beck 2012!
