    I think Pawlenty Gets it! But would he put the money where his mouth is and would his fellow Republicans go along with him if he did?

    Palin's ambition is bigger than her talent. She is like someone pursuing a singing career who cannot sing. Let Palin burn her self out as she is wearing out the welcome mat!

    Sanjaya Palin! She is a fricken Narcissist ! Palin should stick around, since she is good for a laugh or two. She can save the democrats a lot of money, by being the best example to not vote republican.

    If Palin did try to run in 2012, I think I would almost be obligated to cross register, so I could vote for her in the Republican primary. Trouble is, since I live in California, by the time the primary rolls around here, she will probably be out of the running. Then again, she may get so many cross-registered Democrats voting for her she'll be their candidate.

    I'm from Minnesota and Pawlenty is "smiling" repug scum as opposed to "cranky" repug scum. It's still scum of the earth repugs.

    I can't possibly be older than Pawlenty--I saw Reagan mildly pissed when he ordered Gorbachev to "tear down this wall."

    When in the hell did Ronald Reagan become the patron saint of all that is good and holy and right in this country? Am I the only one alive today who was alive back then? Does no one remeber history as it was and not the rewritten version? How can the repukes honestly hold this man up to so much glory? And do they realize that in order to grow their repuke base, they need to come forward a little bit into the present times? Most 18 through 27 yo dont even know who ronny raygun is or was.

    Oh come now! Surely even the 18-27 year old crowd have seen Reagan's contribution to the all time classics, Bedtime for Bonzo.

    Not just cranks, but the worst kind...."WHINY CRANKS".

    I swear, after McCain started ramping up, it was like the brat and the good kid in the back seat of the car. Mc Cain constantly whining in "Obama this, and I'm better" all the time. It was pretty disgusting.

    I can't speak for others, but personally the "my friends" in that overly, too-too sincere tone, which gave the opposite impression (that he KNOWS we aren't all his friends and thinks he's really slick for conning us) grated after the second one. I don't know what HE thought, but every time I heard it it was like my bullshit meter pegged. And the inance "Joe-the-plumber" and "Jack the firefighter" bullshit made it sound like they were reading a childrens book from the 60's to us...and in a way they were.

    Palin, the whole shebang. Now, I was never their target audience, I am more left than Obama for sure, but even back when I was 16 and really liked Ayn Rand, that stuff was the kind of thing the villians even in HER books said.

    It wouldn't have flown then either.

    Yet another reason why I suspected in the beginning that pawlenty turned mccain down for the veep position. pawlenty saw the handwriting on the wall.
