Sarah fires up the GOP AGAIN!

"Let us resolve not to become the negative party, too eager to find fault or unwilling to help in this time of crisis and war. Losing an election does not have to mean losing our way, and for governors, the way forward leads through our own state capitals in reforms we will carry on or begin anew." - the words of Sarah Palin at the Republican Governors' meeting in Florida today.

To say this lady "gets it" is an understatement in the extreme. It is a shame that she was overcoached by the McCain camp and wasn't allowed to simply be herself. We might be looking at a different political landscape right now if that had been allowed to happen.

"As far as we're concerned, the past is the past, it's behind us. And I, like all of our governors, we're focused on the future. And the future for us is not that 2012 presidential race. It's next year, and our next budgets and the next reforms in our states, and it's 2010 when we'll have 36 governors' positions open across the U.S."

And I think the Republican party is starting to understand what it is they have in Sarah Palin - as Texas Governor Rick Perry said in his introduction of her - "I can assure you, she's just getting started."

I can't believe how they shoved a sock that far down her throat! They quite possibly could have won if they didn't do that!

Simon... Muah! Thank you for posting this! I ♥ Sarah Palin! That is an awesome post and clip to support it! Thanks for sharing!

Renee - I'm not sure the McCain camp truly understood the power of Sarah Palin had she be allowed to BE Sarah Palin.

Melissa - Muah back at ya! She's an amazing woman.

She is sooooo good for the Dems, keep it up S.P.

[sarcasm on]

riiiight... that's her problem... she was overcoached by McCain's marketing machine.

I'm sure now, that she's clear of the machine, and the "gotcha journalism" of the liberal media and their agenda also too, we'll be able to see and grasp the true Sarah Palin.

I'm looking forward to it.

[sarcasm off]

It's just too bad they lynched her in the media who tried to do the same thing to Hillary when Hillary was running against Obama. I want to see more strong and accomplished women ascend --- from both parties. Other countries seem to be ahead of the U.S. in recognizing women as leaders (Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meir --- two of my favorites).

Jane and Alan - clearly you didn't see her speak at GOP McCain rallies when she went - as the McCain camp said - "Off message". The crowds went wild! She resonates with ordinary Americans because they see themselves in her. Just wait and watch and see. Oh and clearly you did not just spend the required 22 minutes to watch the speech I provided you with.

Pacita - She is certainly a leader in our future. Time will tell.

Sarah Palin, the gift that keeps on giving ! While the govenors were meeting Palin skipped the entire day to give one exclusive interview ...after another !

Simon - who wrote the speech? Can't wait to give her props for great delivery:-)

Simon, it's true, I didn't listen to the entire 22 minutes (although I did waste around 5 minutes of my life).

I don't disagree, that she's an excellent speaker, and can get a crowd truly worked up. She's terrific when scripted (Inna's correct.. props to the speechwriter), and far less so when off script. I just don't see "overcoaching" as her problem.

I also don't disagree that we haven't seen the last of Sarah Palin, and I hope she decides to run in 2012. And please note, for those who accuse the "liberal biased media" of slanted coverage that the posted video was courtesy of msnbc.

Simon - She is the man. I mean... , well you know. The press conference was also telling of the new direction, united and committed to Republican ideals. I don't think I have ever been so excited after losing an election. (of course I'm in my 40's, so I've only lost a couple presidentials.)

Bill - well apart from the pesky speech that is above if you can be bothered to watch.

Inna - nice move! Somehow I doubt she had anyone do that. I think she is probably sick of it.

Alan - the video could have been taken from anywhere - but talking of the bias of MSNBC (soon to become known as "State Channel One") I guess you've seen their new slogan? No? I'ts The Power of Change. Hmmm...I know I;'ve heard that somewhere before.........

Joe - while they continue to attack her, we know she's doing a great job. The latest attack says she's a wolf murderer!! I kid you not.

1) Environmentalists say we can't drill for oil in Alaska because it will hurt the caribou.
2) Sarah Palin says that it's not drilling that's killing caribou--it's the wolves that keep eating them.
3) Sarah Palin authorizes thinning the herd of wolves, to protect the caribou.
4) Environmentalists say Palin is a vicious murderer for killing all those wolves.
5) Sarah Palin's plan actually works to save caribou.
6) Sarah Palin is still the one who is called stupid.

According to biologists with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game:

Link

As ugly and as politically incorrect as the wolf killing might seem to some, they said, the helicopter gunning that took place earlier this year saved caribou, especially young caribou, from being eaten alive.

Fall surveys of the Southern Alaska Peninsula caribou herd completed in October found an average of 39 calves per 100 cows. That's a dramatic improvement from fall counts of only 1 calf per 100 cows in 2006 and 2007.

Believe me when I tell you, the Dems are hoping and praying that Sarah Palin is the future of The Republican party. They are salivating at the prospect.

Isn't amazing Simon how the press ate the lunch of a women who is happy with her marriage and family. She is a real person not a hollywood type living in make believe.

What politician hasn't had speechwriters? What is so wrong with someone writing Palin's speech? Does one really think that with all these people have to do that they have time to write their own speeches? They can edit and add their own thoughts into raw content, but it certainly helps to have the drafts made for them.

Even Obama has them. Jon Favreau, is one of the major speech writers, who leads a team.

"Obama contributes much to his speeches. He has a small team of speechwriters headed by Jon Favreau, a 27-year-old jeans-clad staffer, who earlier this year described his role to Newsweek thus: 'What I do is I sit with him for half an hour. He talks and I type everything he says. I reshape it, I write. He writes, he reshapes it. That's how we get the finished product.'

Others may have contributed to Obama's acceptance speech. Englishman Jacob Rigg, 27, claims to have had a hand via phone, email and video conferences from his flat in Notting Hill, west London."

There was one Democrat who personally wrote and delivered a beautiful speech at the end of a long campaign--- and that was Al Gore. That speech was truly touching and written from the heart.

What is so wrong with someone writing Palin's speech?

not a thing, Pacita. it's a good thing. She should stick to the scripts.

Israel, The only reason the dems are salivating over Sarah is because they don't have anyone that attractive in their own party.

Palin/Huckabee 2012

I'd trade Palin for our Rino Schwartzenegger in a heartbeat. I've had it with slick and slicker - give me someone with honest to God character, principles and a little knowledge. Our buffoon is proposing even more taxes for the state becasue the budget he just signed 3 weeks ago is already under water by billions. And our Dem. legislature won't cut spending, or drill off-shore, or explore nuclear, or put up more wind turbines or... Go Sarah!

Hugh's right. Huckabee is a looker.

P;ease Jason Say it isn't so , stick with Jennifer

As her speech started one newscaster in the area said "What's the deal with her hair?" Nothing about the message.

I have said it before, I am looking forward to the next wave, Palin, Jindal, Huckabee, Romney, Evans, Pence and those yet to be named. I hope that a new Gingrich can be found in the next 2 years to help the recovery.

How hard it must be for Sarah to talk out of the other side of face? I guess its not the first time she's flipped flopped, bridge to nowhere anyone?

From "wealth spreader, socialist, palls around with terrorists" to "we need to work together"

Its going to take more than a few words to convince anyone that she's sincere.

She is one classy and smart woman. Saw her on Fox with Gretta for two nights.

Very impressive...............not afraid to tell it like it is which is a breath of fresh air.

Best Regards

Noqui, Saying those things about Obama and then saying we maust work together are not flip flopping at all. Both statements are true.

I agree 100% with you Simon. It's too bad the liberals can't see the truth. Of course, they pretty much hate anyone who disagrees with them especially on certain issues.

Good speech. She has class. I sense this was largely written by her.

Hugh, I am with you. Huckabee and Palin would have my vote.

Simon ~ With tears, this woman has so much class and wisdom and executive experience, it is a shame she is not going to the White House, but instead we have the most inexperienced empty suit that will ever hold the office of President of the United States. And in this, the liberals are rejoicing, this is what baffles me. Very intelligent people, who can't explain why they voted for such a man, but never can say what his experience is, oh but a community organizer he was.

Now he want to rule us, he now is spending money trying to win the senate seats, government takeover, and nobody says a word. The silence on the left, it is deafening.

This was just a warm up for Palin. I think people will get to know her more and look out 2012!

I saw her speech yesterday. It is so nice to see a fresh face for the Republican Party.

I just love the way this lady rocks the establishment. She is tough and is her own person . It simply amazes me how some have sought to destroy her. I honestly believe those actions just strenghthen her resolve.

Thanks for posting. I am looking forward to learning more about Sarah Palin, and even more, how the Republican party can be more effective in delivering it's message.

too bad she and her family couldnt practice what they preach. she sure didnt teach her daughter to keep here legs together and not have sex until they were married like her bible she preaches from states. nor could sarah be faithful to the first dude like here Bible says she should hmmm seems to be do as I say not as I do.

you can not pick and choose how you want to read and follow the bible

She is one class act. She is what she is and I feel she is going to be part of America's future...a big part.

I hear talk of a 7 million dollar book deal for Sarah. And the press is still trying to portary her as not having popularity

NOV

2008

Let's see... the MOST POPULAR Governor in the country. Three guys from the LEAST POPULAR governing body in the country. Had it not been for the press being in the tank for Obama, I think somebody might have noticed that Palin IS actually a change.

Huckabee/Palin 2012... Huckabee gets the top billing because he is for the FairTax.

NOV

Are you folks kidding me? Can't believe you all seem to be serious and supportive about this publicity-grabbing nut-job!

This governor's got little class!

Fresh turkey, anyone?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Simon,

We indeed have a winner in Sarah Palin. I just hope the country will see the need to elect her president in 2012.

Did I see she went to Georgia to help out with the runoff election they are having there?

DEC

Grabbing nut job? Oh! Dean....they got you! Break free my man, run...

I love Sara; she's great! Did anyone see the Conan show the other night? William Shatner was reading portions of her book, then she came out and read some of his. It was quite funny!

I reiterate...I love Sara; she's great and a great sport!
