Resubmit in 30 days for further disapproval.<br /><br /><i>Two years ago you got me to get out and support your guy, and I did.

It wasn't because the <i>informed</i> electorate was out-voted... it was because the country was sick to death of anyone with (R) after their name and a superior campaign to mobilize the Great Unwashed on the part of The One. I'm thinkin' 2012 will be different, coz I predict a GREAT percentage of the Unwashed will stay home. Unless Yer Girl runs, at which time they'll be out in <i>droves.</i><br /><br />And what's your entrance music, Morgan?

And wished they would all, please, please, oh pretty please, just go away.<br /><br />The contenders who you wouldn't mind listening to a little while longer, all lost.<br /><br />See, you "adults in the room" are doing a dandy job of communicating your feelings and passions. But that isn't what adults do, that's what children do. On keeping in mind what is needed to get a President elected, I'd give you a D- and that's being charitable.<br /><br />Americans don't vote for Presidents, we vote against the other guy. I'm not saying that's good; I think it sucks just as much as anybody else. But it's a fact.<br /><br />And nominating someone you don't think the public will get tired of seeing...a Dukakis, a Dole, a Mondale, a Stevenson, a Dewey...McCain/Romney/Huckabee/Giuliani...well, that's how you lose. People will not get out and vote to advance a political agenda if the representative is reassuringly vanilla & dull. Even if they absolutely loathe the other guy. They'll end up staying home.<br /><br />Palin, on the other hand, would receive the votes of the people who are "tired of her stream of idiotic bullshit" if she's nominated. I've yet to encounter a single exception to this. I mean, save for the loyal progressives who really want Obama to get re-elected.<br /><br />Two years ago you got me to get out and support your guy, and I did. He got creamed. Now it's your turn to show how reasonable you can be. And, that you can learn from mishaps.mkfreeberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13265933747192068934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-51074354792436777032011-01-21T13:35:58.700-07:002011-01-21T13:35:58.700-07:00It took me a while to work thru those pieces, Bec ...It took me a while to work thru those pieces, Bec and I was only familiar with Resphigi of the three.

If you chased the links in the piece you would come upon Tapscott's opinion that she's terribly over-exposed. That's a valid POV. I have two reasons why she shouldn't run, the first being her poll numbers. Nearly 60% of independents have an unfavorable view of her. So, yeah... let's us conservatives put up an unelectable candidate. That's REAL smart.<br /><br />Second: Unqualified.
