A better comparison of Palin is with Dan Quayle, not GW. Quayle was also seen as a rising star amongst conservatives. A whole bunch of neocons signed up for his staff like the guy that runs the Weekly Standard. He turned out to be a dud and a dummy.
b,121I don't want to be a blind optimist here, but your friends just sound way, way out of it. I think Obama has a far better chance of success than failure. And not to be morbid, but there's better odds he's assassinated than has some massive Bradley Effect or organized voter fraud keep him from office.

It's one of the keys to the success of, say, a Bill O'Reilly, who comes through the screen and grabs you by the throat. Palin too projects through the screen like crazy. I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America.

h,121
b,121Excerpt:
b,121A lot of people have said "I don't know if it's fair to look at Sarah Palin's sexuality the way people are ??? I just don't know if it's sexist or appropriate. Why can't we just treat her like a human being?" Okay, I'm going to tell you why it's appropriate for us to gloat and delve into every detail.
b,121
b,121 #1. Sexual politics is important. It matters.
b,121
b,121 #2. Palin has made priggery, prudery and sexual hypocrisy a centerpiece of her law enforcement and public policy directives, as both the mayor of the beautiful Wasilla, Alaska, and the governor of the state.
b,121
b,121
b,121She ran on a sex-is-icky platform. People who lived in Wasilla remember when being mayor was almost considered a thankless job, like being the town plumber. ("Who wants to deal with all the bullshit down at the city dump and the electrical wiring?") And then Sarah came along, with her Pentecostal church program behind her, saying "I'm not going to talk about issues like whose dog is pooping on whose lawn. I'm going to talk about stopping abortion now." That's the kind of stuff she ran on, and she got a bunch of people who'd never voted before to march down from her little church and put her into office.

You guys are taking that Palin comment about teachers the wrong way. Right after she said that she said she had all these relatives including her parents and brother who are teachers, and then she said she and McCain were going to boost schools and education in America.
