"...get new glasses".   I'm deeply hurt that the poster doesn't find my modest proposal a good suggestion. I felt sure she would see the wisdom and fairness of it. After all, we'd get answers to questions and she could still indulge her penchant for foul language. Everybody wins!

Congratulations to her for emerging from the gutter. I wonder if she will be able to stay out of it.



Returning to the topic:

Q-- if you don't think Sarah stands a good chance of winning the Republican primaries, based on her views on guns and abortion--and probably her unique appeal to women--non-liberal women, of course-- , who do you think would be stronger on those issues--particularly abortion?   The "Religious Right" has been very strong in the Iowa caucus recently as well as in several Southern primaries--and there is such a thing as "Big Mo". Consider on the Democratic side what a boost Iowa gave to Obama. Even a loss soon after in New Hampshire could not derail him.

People may now tell polls they cannot take Sarah seriously.   But if she starts winning caucuses and primaries, I rather doubt that attitude would hold up.

And it seems likely that the "Tea Party" will never be a party, in the sense of Perot's party, TR's Bull Moose etc.    There is no standard-bearer---unless they accept Palin.    And they are such a collection of malcontents nursing such a range of real or imagined grievances that they will never settle on a program.

The main question appears to be whether they actually want to stop what they see as the Obama administration's power grab--in which case they will eventually have to support a Republican.   Or whether they just want to make noise.
