“I’m Sarah Palin and I’m Here to Help You”
“Hi! I quit my job so I’d have more time to help you with your campaigning. Isn’t that great? Well?? Hello??? Anybody out there? Is this thing on?”
Sarah Palin has offered to help campaign for Republican gubernatorial candidates in New Jersey and Virginia. So far the response has been, well, not quite the roaring enthusiasm she was hoping for.
Bob McDonnell, Republican candidate for governor of Virginia, said his staff had spoken with Sarah Palin’s staff. He called her “a good spokesman” but didn’t mention anything about wanting any help from her.
In New Jersey, Republican candidate Chris Christie is more popular right now than the current Democratic governor. Asked about Sarah Palin’s “help,” the state GOP chairman said:
“
Upon news that The Quitter might campaign for Republican candidates — this was the Democrats’ response.

The Palin bus is in the ditch, looking around for a lost set of wheels.
Lew: I was hoping it would go off a cliff, but a ditch will do in the meantime.
I think she decided that she liked flying in private jets and having the nation's attention. She's trying to get a national party post so that she can go back to that.
Thomas: I'm sure she has something like that in mind; something where she has lots of power but no accountability.
I kind of suspect Gov. Sanford wouldn't mind having Palin on his re-election campaign team. Or lap, or something.
Hey, it might get his mind off his South American sweetheart. Argentina is a long commute.
I'm surprised some enterprising gooper intern hasn't floated the idea of her showing up at future rallies sporting her running gear. MILFy goodness for the countrified rubes.
That reminds me of the old saying "I'm from the government I'm here to help." We'll change that to:
"I'm Sarah Palin I'm here to help your campaign." You becha!
SW: Sanford and Palin, they'd make a pair. I suspect his Argentinian flame speaks better English than Palin.
Randal: Yup, America's favorite MILF should be one of the standard attractions at red state county fairs, along with dunkings and corndogs.
Demeur: Fortunately, it sounds like most Republican candidates are forming their index fingers into a cross sign whenever Mooselini offers to "help" them.
Poor dear.
"That liberal media dontcha know was so gosh darn mean to me and then they weren't there anymore to be so gosh darn mean to me because I quit 'cause they were so mean, but wait, that was really neato having all that attention and getting to have the hair and the makeup you betcha, maybe you can come see me so I can talk about how mean you are - oh, you have something else to cover - maybe I can help with whatever it is you're covering - will I be on camera . . .
Frstlymil: LOL. She has that same love-hate relationship with the media that movie stars have with the paparazzi. "Oh shit, there's another one of those F$#%!#&!! photographers. I hate them! Pssst, here, get my good side."

Best laugh of the day. Thanks.
Sarah who?
What's frustrating to me is that no matter how stupid Sarah Palin happens to act, no matter how many screwups she makes, or how delusional she acts with regard to national politics, her "base" just seems to love her more and more. Yes- they think that she's just a hard-workin' prayin' Mom who can talk down to their level. Indeed- she reminds them a lot of themselves and even though she doesn't know jack-shit about economic or global affairs( much like her base), who cares? She's down to earth and by-golly, we need people like her to be President. In other words, they don't like the idea of someone who is probably smarter than themselves leading a country.
I also especially like hearing the numerous stories about women who might have been a Democrat but suddenly switched sides just because she happens to be a woman. That's all that matters period. Nevermind that the woman in question supports teaching creationism in school and is against a lot of other things that most women would deem as progress in their eyes- She's one of them- a woman- and all that other stuff can sit on the wayside.
That's the problem I have with a lot of die-hard right wingers in general. They make more of a judgment call on the candidate's characters and how closely they might resemble their simpleton, hard-workin' ways rather than whether the person can actually lead a country. That's a rather irresponsible mindset and perhaps the only reason Palin has had such miraculous staying power.
SW: Thanks.
Karlo: That's the spirit.
Bob: To an extent, I can see why people like an inept politician whose views they agree with. I liked Jimmy Carter even though he was an inept president.
But Sarah Palin? She's just too incompetent and too one-dimensional to be believed. That rightwing "base" -- ignorant and/or super-religious -- might always worship Palin no matter what she does. Fortunately, that base is becoming a smaller percentage of the population.
It's really mindboggling that any woman could be on Palin's side just because she's a woman. As somebody else put it, that's like blacks voting for a black candidate who wants to bring back slavery.
