  What an unmitigated bunch of BS! I hope by now the author of this inflamatory and self-serving piece to democRAT interests, and the useful-idiots who call themselves 'progressives' has come to show them for what they truly are... news manipulators and lackeys of the MSM

  The more she opens her mouth, the worse the GOP looks. Her comments become are more asinine as time passes. Case in point, her fictional comments about Paul Revere were plainly idiotic. She simply makes stuff up as she bumbles along.

  As a Progressive, I am hoping that Palin is the GOP nominee for all the tri-cornered useful idiot Tea Baggers with their misspelled signs and back to the 1770s 'made-to-order' panaceas. If this Bible-thumping, gun-toting, "drill baby drill" slope head gets elected, we will be the laughing stock of the world. Maybe if she is elected she won't have to write debate answers on her hand, and may finally learn where Russia is located on a map; or,--more likely, someone in the White House can tell her. Ah-oh, I think that makes me an elitist. Sorry !

  Much ado about nothing.............

• seanomelbourne | May 31, 2011, 11:30 PM EDT

  Palin the light weight will never be president the GOP and independent voters will see to that.

• Ratslayer | May 31, 2011, 08:45 PM EDT

  Promoting darling Palin as a possible GOP candidate -- let alone president -- just proves that Republicans and other conservative enemies of the hurting middle class do not deserve to run this country anymore. This woman is a lightweight, a joke, a clown -- qualities that best sum up the Grand Old Party of nutters and knuckledraggers.

• DLW12183 | May 31, 2011, 09:11 AM EDT

  Obama is a shoe in. He lies better that the rest of the politicians. Chicago politics at its best.

• ciarrai | May 30, 2011, 09:46 PM EDT

  Yes, keep promoting this shrill dingbat who makes George Bush sound like Einstein. No, no, she's not running. Lawrence O'Donnell says no and he had Trump sorted out perfectly. Don't waste anymore space on this vapid, vicious, vacuous vixen. I think you are a bit too sweet on Sarah, Niall O'Dowd. Good for her is what she's all about. Good for her and horrible for America. So, if you hate America you will vote for such a sorry excuse for a candidate for POTUS as this manipulative woman. Shame on you, Niall O'Dowd for even bringing her up as a legitimate candidate. To hell with this website!

• haasny007 | May 30, 2011, 09:56 AM EDT

  Palin would be a gift for Obama. I know many Republicans who think that this imbecile is a disgrace to their party. This woman is absolutely unelectable outside the hardcore red(neck) states in the south and her home state. Run, Sarah, run and win the nomination!

• Morninghours | May 30, 2011, 01:04 AM EDT

  I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the GOP nominated Sarah as their presidential candidate. Republican voters do tend to favor the intellectually challenged -- their last elected president, GWBush, is a perfect example. As entertaining as is would be to watch Sarah wink and blather her way through another debate, it matters not who the Repubs nominate; President Obama will be re-elected, and by a healthy margin.

• maloney | May 29, 2011, 08:31 PM EDT

  To Mr. Perfect, georgie dildo. I've gotta dangling participle for ya.

• maloney | May 29, 2011, 08:27 PM EDT

  Sarah would win if she ran and would make a great President. Rooboy has this one right for a change. Sarah will not run but will lead the way for the next President, Rick Perry. The destruction of obama and getting rich in the process while freeing America at the same time will be her contribution to 2012. She will be a major player in returning pride to America for decades to come.

• PatriciaMarya | May 29, 2011, 07:45 PM EDT

  As the late, great H.L. Mencken put it: "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American Public." If this is the best that the Republicans can come up with, Abraham Lincoln is spinning in his grave.

• seanomelbourne | May 29, 2011, 07:29 PM EDT

  She's just riding the gravy train before she fades into obscurity.

• RedBranch | May 29, 2011, 06:31 PM EDT

  'Good for her.' Oh Niall O'Dowd you're a cute hoor. If she wins I'll stand you a pint in Dromintee.

• McNamara31 | May 29, 2011, 06:21 PM EDT

  John G. Hogan... "At least we know where Sarah was born" And, we know where Obama was born. Try to get past the smears, just once.

• GeorgeDillon | May 29, 2011, 05:37 PM EDT

  "Nelsonbarry on May 29, 2011, 12:16 PM EDT If that's the case the republicans will loose again." When will posters learn to spell the word L-O-S-E? And that it's not the same as L-O-O-S-E? Lots of you seem to have skipped too many English classes at high school.

• MalcomAC | May 29, 2011, 04:41 PM EDT

  No. Her approval ratings - among Republicans - have plummeted over the past year.

• SeamusMor | May 29, 2011, 04:00 PM EDT

  If that Bimbo is anybody's favorite for the Republican nomination, it's definitely the Democrats!

• Gearoid4 | May 29, 2011, 03:41 PM EDT

  It looks like Mr O'Dowd has gone from left to right in a NY minute as he seems to be smitten by Ms Palin. Is the Obamesque factor wearing off for the IC crowd?

• oldboreen | May 29, 2011, 03:06 PM EDT

  Can't believe that Ameicans would be so dumb as to elect Palin-but then again, you never know. She may be the best of a poor bunch!

• haikued2 | May 29, 2011, 02:23 PM EDT

  "dumb as a stump"... rather odd that she has done as well as she has being dumb as a stump...maybe, just maybe, hypernia, is not quite as smart as a stump.

• Trealach | May 29, 2011, 02:21 PM EDT

  Seems like Americans just love a good hiding - roflmao

• haikued2 | May 29, 2011, 02:18 PM EDT

  Big mistake...the left has murdered her as a candidate. Usually that is done to people they fear...you don't suppose...no, they are just too elite to ever think a somewhat ordinary woman could do well.

• IAPRINCESS | May 29, 2011, 01:49 PM EDT

  Is she all they can come up with???

• hybernia | May 29, 2011, 01:45 PM EDT

  God help us, she is as dumb as a stump.

• Mairin67 | May 29, 2011, 12:47 PM EDT

  Seriously, the Republicans can't come up with anyone but Palin? How embarrassing for them. Let her run. She'll hand the election to Obama on a silver platter and I look forward to every minute of her embarrassing escapades.

• John G. Hogan | May 29, 2011, 12:36 PM EDT

  At least we know where Sarah was born, and that she's not a hand puppet.

• Advocate | May 29, 2011, 12:35 PM EDT

  Cillowen - Do you believe and follow Yahweh? We just returned from a study in Tenn. Let's 'touch base.'

• Nelsonbarry | May 29, 2011, 12:16 PM EDT

  If that's the case the republicans will loose again.

• simplesandy | May 29, 2011, 12:13 PM EDT

  OMG!!!! FFS!!!!Is this all the Americans have to offer. a freaking 3 ring circus. They are laughing at us all over the world.. Do you mean to tell me with the billions of intelligent Americans these fools are the only ones we can come up with . This is discussing. ppl when are you going to wake up!!! WAKE UP!!!! Don’t anyone see red flags flying? come-on there has to be SOMEONE out there better than what’s running. pawwlease. Hell, there are typical everyday people who have better ideas and brains. Please someone step up to the plate and bat for this country. The ones we are paying to run this country are clueless. Tell you what everyone going to vote, no matter if you are dem /rep vote someone new in office who has never been there before and lets get some new blood in there. Otherwise this country is going down the shitter FAST. God Bless America (she needs it).

• phinsman | May 29, 2011, 10:55 AM EDT

  If Palin runs, we have a great chance of Obama having a second term. Palin is so limited in her perspective on different cultures on our planet and if she were elected there would be no separation of church and state. The first time she had ever left the United States was after the year 2000… prior to the year 2000, I had been to foreign countries at least five times (I am almost the same age as Sarah Palin). In my opinion, every country needs an open minded leader.

• badolan | May 29, 2011, 10:38 AM EDT

  Sorry, but it is completely impossible to underrate Palin. If she runs, she will lose. She is just not electable. However, it is likely she will be in the race just for the publicity. She has her followers, proving only that you can fool some of the people some of the time.

• shamrock99 | May 29, 2011, 10:33 AM EDT

  NO WAY!!!!! SARAH SHOULD CONTINUE WORKING FOR THE PARTY, BUT SHE WILL NOT GET THE NOMINATION.

• cillowen | May 29, 2011, 10:32 AM EDT

  next president oh how i long for huckabee israelite

• seagreen | May 29, 2011, 10:31 AM EDT

  Good! I hope she wins the presidency. Can't wait to see her at a meeting with Vladimir Putin,Sarkozy,Cameron,Lula (from Brazil)Chavez, Berlisconi(Italy..won't that be something!)Then of course there are the Chinese, who are such pushovers. I think America needs four years of SNL type government, if for no other reason, to show the rest of the world that as a nation we actually do have a sense of humor..

• oflaherty | May 29, 2011, 10:24 AM EDT

  If she does become the Republican candidate, it will guarantee Obama another term in office.

• antoman | May 29, 2011, 09:42 AM EDT

  As she gets more popular her skirt will shorten.Until enough people are baying and raving about her that she will be left wearing a belt.Soccer mom for President.

• gobdawpaddy | May 29, 2011, 08:44 AM EDT

  Bubbastudd, you poor mutant. Where were you in 2008, especially during Katie Couric's interview with Palin. This woman is bereft of intelligence but has great foreign affairs credentials. After all Alaska is next to Canada and she can see Russia from her bedroom window hahahhahaha. If this person as much as gets the epublican nomination, watch the dow, dollar etc. tank, as the rest of world votes on her competence. I agree with you that she is beautiful, but let her run for grandmother of the year, not for the most powerful position in the world.

• Bubbastudd | May 29, 2011, 05:14 AM EDT

  Chic, charming, charismatic Gov. Sarah Palin is easily the most qualified, competent, interesting, exciting, & attractive potential Presidential candidate from either Party. She is bold, brilliant, beautiful.

• seanomelbourne | May 29, 2011, 01:41 AM EDT

  Palin will not run for president remember these words.

• bedr1forprez | May 28, 2011, 11:04 PM EDT

  Ron Paul is great, but he has no chance. I was his congressional district coordinator in 2007. Evangelicals won't vote for him because of his attitude towards drugs. If it was Rand Paul we might have a winner. Otherwise Palin is the only one who has the star power to beat Obama and still be conservative, Constitutionalist and small L Libertarian that we can get behind.

• CelesteChristi | May 28, 2011, 11:01 PM EDT

  Sarah's not running she's Rolling! Go Sarah Go!!! Palin/West 2012!

• bedr1forprez | May 28, 2011, 11:01 PM EDT

  Amacha, she will run so you will get your wish. Funny but Obama still thinks he is in 2008. He has got to be the dumbest President we have ever had. A total disaster of biblical proportions. Palin will turn him into swiss cheese.

• amacha50 | May 28, 2011, 10:16 PM EDT

  Please, Please run. This would be the most entertaining thing since, since, well, EVER! This would be the greatest slaughter of all time. Everyone knows she has all the intellectual capacity of a house plant (FYI Sarah: That is an insult). FOUR MORE YEARS.

• hirop420 | May 28, 2011, 10:16 PM EDT

  If she didn't beat Obama with McCain last time, what makes you think she can do it this time on her own? Now she has moved to my home state and honestly I could care less. I hope she stays out of this election and doesn't steal votes that should go to candidates that deserve them and actually have a chance of winning this race. Like Ron Paul for example. Clearly you are bias because you make no mention of him in your article when latest polls showed he trailed rommney out of NH. The people want real change this time, not some bs. Chinas diversifying, the dollar in going down, we are losing and fast. We don't need more of the same with a bandaid for the situation that will eventually lose its effectiveness and then we are left blead dry. Because face it we are already bleading to death. We need to stop this theft of the American future and shut the FED down.

• CharlieG | May 28, 2011, 10:13 PM EDT

  It's all very premature. Remember that she resigned from being Governor of our State of Alaska, citing personal reasons. Why do we want her to be the President of our United States? The reasons stated in this article are certainly very shallow...this American does not want a charismatic, physically attractive, personable woman or man to be our President. The Office is not for figureheads.

• hydroplanerdude | May 28, 2011, 10:03 PM EDT

  Please no! Heaven help us. She has no chance against Obama. He would eat her alive. You failed to mention the #1 nominee: RON PAUL.
