She seemed to think that her impersanation of Sarah Palin did'nt hurt her at all. I disagree. I did not see the whole thing, but I wonder if Barbara asked if she was a Democrat? I wonder if Tina would like a try at Michelle Obama? Any one think she'd do it? I don't think so!" Fey is physically similar to Palin and she quoted her WORD FOR WORD. When Palin's OWN WORDS can be used to mock her with such hilarious results then the problem is with Palin not Tina Fey! CW "I caught part of Barbara Walter's interview with Tina Fey last night.

He totally flubbed debates that year. Dems and moderate Republicans said, "he's too stupid, he doesn't know anything about foreign policy," etc. But he had something no other GOP candidate did...CHARISMA. And he learned over the next 4 years, wrote a book, appeared on talk shows, etc. Who was laughing in 1980? Palin does have charisma....she has a lot of work to do but if she studies up and gets herself on sunday talk shows, she's got the personality to draw people in.

Still, I find the attitudes to Gov Palin very strange. If we can think of a presidential election as a hiring process, and since this is an executive position, then the first question I would ask of any applicants is; what executive experience have you had, for how long and during that period what have your accomplishments been? And can you vouch for these accomplishments with evidence and references. I am not so much interested in what you say you can do or how you say it, but what have you actually done, and what I can infer about your attitudes, knowledge and skills and how you applied them in practice. Of the four people on the ticket recently, only Gov Palin has had executive experience, although I would give Obama creditt for superb campaign management as a surrogate for such experience. No objective person with a sense of justice can deny that Gov Palin has accomplished much in her short time as Gov of Alaska. And at high personal and political risk. And, given her high approval ratings (still) the citizens of Alaska seem to agree. I am sure that in the process of reform she has made bitter enemies, who will dispute this conclusion. Yes, her executive actions as Gov can be critically evaluated. But the point is that there are actions to critically evaluate. The executive actions of the other candidates are pretty thin on the ground. Nor can I find any evidence that Gov Palin has allowed her personal (and obviously sincere) religious convictions interfere with her work as a Gov. There is no evidence that she has banned books, forced education authorities to teach 'creationism', etc. On the contrary, (and I stand to be corrected on this), i understand she vetoed attempts to rescind same-sex benefits legislation. There seems to be a trend abroad too that only unattractive women should aspire to high office. If a State is a microcosm of the US, then being a succesfull Governor is surelyt he best apprenticeship to high National Office. Time will tell but Gov Palin deserved to be given as much fair and just consideration as anyone else. Polls at this early stage are probably silly.

Good luck with that! On the other hand, while the democrats and their social engineering, ACORN thuggery, and stupid mortgage loans have all but collapsed the nation's economy, Governor Palin is working on Alaska's budget that should have a 5 billion dollar surplus! And Alaska has no state income tax, or state sales tax! Can't wait for 2012 so we can get a leader in the White House for a change! Sarah is the one WE have been waiting for!…..

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

**I still see that CNN is it's usual "accurate" self! (sarcasm off)

Evey other poll out there has Governor Palin leading the other front runners, Mitt Romney, Rudy and others by double digits! Huckabee is at the bottom!

In every other poll of Republicans and Republican leaning independents 60 to 70 percent chose Palin!!

This is just more of the dishonest media trying to to create a story!

Face facts, Palin will be the nominee in 2012. Did anyone pay any attention to Georgia?

Palin was a rock star down there. All of the hitters were down there campaigning for Chambliss. Governor Palin flew in and in ONE DAY drew more people than all the rest combined. And by "all the rest", I'm including Bill Clinton and Rapper Ludacris!

The day before Sarah showed up, Saxby Chambliss had a 5 point lead in the polls, and was gonna win anyway, but Sarah took that 5 point win, and turned it into a 16 point BLOWOUT!

By 2012 Governor Palin will have 20 years of chief executive experience under her belt!

You guys just voted in a guy who has never run a city, never run a state, and never run a lemonade stand! Good luck with that!

Convince the GOP that Pailn is a viable candidate, without really thinking about it because it's been hyped for 3 years, and we'll get another four of Obama. True, I cannot see the path he will lead, but it will be thoughtful and intelligent and probably the best that can be expected with the current environment. I cannot hope for more from THE leader of my country. I think this is terrific news.
