If Nikki-kins lines up behind any woman, it’d be Michele Bachmann. Bachmann’s crazier than Palin, but she’s also smarter, more ambitious, and more dedicated to her political goals. Bachmann wants to be the next Tom DeLay, a queen/kingmaker if not a queen herself. Palin’s main goal is to work the GOP’s rubber-chicken circuit until the teabaggers stop sprouting wood when they see her, then retire to a sunny and warm place like Arizona.

Please, we have too many whackos in Arizona now.

It seems like the Sisterhood of Teabaggers is more like pigs running for the feeding trough, they all want to be first.

For your listening pleasure. Kudos to mzchief for posting this earlier today. The entire program is entertaining.

From the clip:

The only way for the corporations to get cheap labor in the US is to bust the unions.

Shorter Jan Brewer sidelong glance at Hickenlooper: “Why is Tapper talking to someone else while I am here?”

I would not want to be the furniture in the hotel room where Sarah Palin watched idiot Tapper’s wee programme this morning. Nikki Haley: ungrateful and smooth.

Your saying Nikki won’t support Sarah because Sarah is not crazy enough and doesn’t work as hard at getting power as Michelle does?
Ok thats the scariest thing I heard all week.

There is a chance Nikki can find another GOPer with a better chance of being President than Sarah who is crazier than Sarah?
Ron Paul, Newt who is the crazy crazier than Sarah?

Nice line, PW. Palin wants it both ways, though – more $$$, more influence. She’s nuts and impossible to predict. I was sure she’d announce an exploratory committee around Reagan’s 100th. She didn’t, but her recent staffing changes clearly indicate preparation for a run.

Chris Cristie dissed her on the talkies today, too – she needs more “unscripted” exposure, he says. It’s true.

Over at the Palin shrines, they’re howling about his comment:

Obese, lying slug. The more he opens his greasy gob the more we see the truth about his (lack of) character. Whose payroll is he on? Mitt?

and:

It will be interesting to see how many of the establishment Republicans come around to Governor Palin when it comes time to form a President Palin cabinet, etc. They seem to want to distance themselves now, but I predict they would all come with their hands out when it comes to being part of the administration.

the response to that thought:

They won’t be in consideration.

As the Frank Bailey manuscript reveals, Palin is not only obsessed with reading every single adulatory comment, they go to her head. She even writes some of them herself.

Endorsements by governors are worth a bunch because they normally run their state’s political party get the Governor and you get the state. Early Endorsements are really valuable and often lead to cabinet positions for the Governor and make it easier for a Presidential candidate to fundraise.
Nikki is risking a bunch today the GOP presidential Primary is run by Fundy Sarah voters. Sure Sarah is behind in the polls but among likely GOP primary voters I bet she wins easy.
If that happens Nikki is toast Sarah holds grudges.

Chris is a loyal Bushie he’s on Jeb’s payroll Mitt is the Corporate GOPers second choice. But it seems Sarah’s people from the comments you shared have figured out that the Corporate GOP hates Sarah.
If Sarah doesn’t get at least VP then Sarah’s people will be less motivated to vote. I don’t see Jeb, Mitt or anyone short of Michelle bringing in those voters or not putting those voters to sleep.
They need adrenaline they need hate they need a candidate willing to give them that openly.

You mean our Not Ready For Primetime Governor? A deer-in-the headlights moment.

Are they high Alpha Male CEO’s like Mitt take orders from a woman? A woman they think is stupid?

As the Frank Bailey manuscript reveals, Palin is not only obsessed with reading every single adulatory comment, they go to her head. She even writes some of them herself.

She at least reads her blogs and is in touch with her voters that more than we can say of anyone else Obama included except for Ron Paul. As long as she stays in touch she can command the 30% hard core GOP base who shows up for and runs GOP Presidential Primaries.
Unless a scandal takes her out she can win the GOP nomination easy.

I don’t see any Math where Sarah does not win the GOP nomination unless Walker wins the Fight in Wisconsin and decides to run.

…. it seems Sarah’s people from the comments you shared have figured out that the Corporate GOP hates Sarah.

Palin’s most ardent fans feel any criticism of her is blind hatred. She tends to be influenced by the reflection from that mindset. The negative aspect of her personality that shows so readily in her dismissive statements about just about anyone who doesn’t pay her enough attention is part of her attraction to the intentionally low information far right base so enamored with her.

When is Sarah going to Wisconsin or has she realized that Walker is her only real threat? Glen hasn’t been there either.

She is a narcissist and she feeds off the attention and her fans love her attention well she is right the Corporate GOP does hate her none of them want to be Sarah’s VP.
Obama wants her to win she is his best shot at staying President. I can’t say that she is wrong about the GOP’s attacks on her she says openly what they say behind closed doors because they want moderate voters.
Newt, Haley I am sure are no different than Sarah just a little more careful what they say in public.

Sarah Palin will be the nominee over Karl Rove’s dead body.

The Fundy vs Corporate GOP civil war has already started and nobody told me:( Still this should be fun me and eCHAN need to score some popcorn:)

Lady Jan seems to specialize in those moments. She is another one who sorely tests my resolution not to mock people for their physical traits. But I sure wish Margaret Hamilton was still alive to play Governor Brewer in the one-woman show of Jan’s political rise — and inevitable fall.

that makes two of us, i too refuse to endorse the hostess ding dong

Karl needs to get Sarah caught in a scandal he can’t rig an election with fundy voters running the GOP Primaries Sarah’s people won’t roll over for a Diebold election like Gore did.
They will stay home if that happens the GOP needs Michelle or Walker if he wins in Wisconsin to get them back.
I bet on Walker getting the VP nod if he wins in Wisconsin. Michelle as VP is as bad or worse than Sarah as VP and hands Obama the election.

Of all the GOP possibilities, Palin would be the most likely to take her ball off the field after a close loss or two in the South, and form a 3rd Party.

Karl needs a scandal that brings jail time a sex scandal, financial scandal etc phah! Sarah’s people will ignore as politically motivated Sarah needs to be taken off the board completely and Karl does not have much time to do it.
He needs time to win over Sarah’s people to who ever is his candidate if he waits for the Iowa Primary to take out Sarah, Sarah’s people will smell Rove’s hand in this.
Sarah’s people will need time to accept Sarah is gone and time to find a new leader.

Behind her we have shadow governor Russell Pierce who is a real piece of hateful work.

You think Sarah will lose the South where the Christian coalition people made a point of running all the GOP primaries? I agree she will go third party if she has to Ross Perot cost Bush 1 the election. If sarah follows that playbook the GOP has to let her be VP or else Obama wins a huge majority if Sarah takes even 5% of the GOP vote nationwide and her third party candidates take even 2% of the GOP vote away from the GOP nationwide.
Its sad for the GOP that in this economy the GOP should be running a dead horse and beating Obama easy but all their Presidential candidates stink worse than a dead horse on ice.
Its sad Sarah is the likely front runner among GOP Primary voters but hey they chose to run on hate to energize their base sew the wind reap the whirlwind.

After watching 600 reporters cover 350 people gathering for the national tea party convention around this time last year, and seeing the media hype the tea party movement into something huge, based on almost nothing, makes me uncomfortable ruling any of these GOP stinking dead horses out.

I think it’s really neat-o having Nikki Haley set the agenda at FDL. I mean, in addition to all the other really cool stuff she does. Where does she find the time?

Anyone notice how Haley’s face has changed dramatically in the last 3 months? During the election I must admit she had a very beguiling face even though I knew she had the ambition of Caligula. It was sweet, alluring and even a bit sexy. Now her face is so hard and sharp it looks like you could chop wood with it. Look at the muscle tension in her cheek as she speaks. I almost expected her teeth to shatter and fly out of her mouth.

Book Salon up with Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson’s Winner-Take-All Politics: How Washington Made the Rich Richer–and Turned Its Back on the Middle Class hosted by David Callahan

600 reporters covering 300 tea baggers that would make a great picture:)

Sarah’s had family scandal, officeholder scandal, financial scandal, electoral scandal and loss — why would you think her acolytes would be stopped by anything else? They love her all the more when Lamestream Media catches her out.

Tease!

I agree… if he has to, he’ll arrange to have her votes stolen.
