The voice of a "Sane Conservative" re: Sarah Palin

If she runs and wins the nomination, we are so screwed. Her name is poisonous amongst independents, and she'll lose by 10 points to Obama. b]Worse yet, she will do damage to every single downticket race. Bye bye any hope at the Senate and bye bye House. Please someone with some dose of sense talk her out of running or Obama will be re-elected by default.

I can't believe that this is the only person on the right with the perception to see the implications of a Palin nomination, but apparently no candidate or Party Leader has the courage to speak up publicly.

Works for me...

2. I think losing to Obama by 10 points is extremely generous

4. Trying to picture who wouldn't do this...

I keep hearing about the "good" people the GOP are holding off this election cycle. The non-insane ones, that would be running to help America and not to raise a crap load of money and coast off the free press. The one with good new ideas. Palin is more putrid than many that could run, but at this point there only seems to be shades of putrid in the Republican party.

5. The Rs decided to recruit racists in 68; they decided to recruit rightwing religious wackos in 80;

they decided to recruit drunk drivers in 00; they decided to recruit all the rest of the fringe in 08

I'd like to be sympathetic, because I think America needs more than one party, but the Rs have painted themselves into a corner

6. Some are speaking out but elected Rs have to keep their mouths shut.

They can't afford to lose the votes from her loony followers.

7. that doesn't sound very sane

the still want the Ryan plan passed, which is insane, but are afraid that Palin would make it that much harder to put a bunch of lunatics into Congress.

I'm just not seeing the sanity here.

8. Sarah won't run because she would win!

If she could score some points in a primary or two, and then bow out, it could burnish her image. But if she wins the nomination, no one can say for sure she won't be in there. She doesn't want that. It's work. She's pageant.

10. As long as her gullible lemmings keep throwing money at her ...

she is good for the economy ... of course Sarah will take the biggest chunk of the intake.

But I don't think there are enough voters foolish enough to give her a chance at winning any office.

11. She brings in the cash

If you are the Republican Party, why spoil the fun until the right wings saps are separated from their wallets?
