MSNBC is pushing Gingrich-Palin for president in 2012. The young guy with a mustache just
interviewed two "experts", one from the Washington Post (Balz) and they say both Palin and Gingrich are serious about running. With all the teabagger activity and media infatuation with Palin, it looks like she is going for it. IMO, Gingrich will finish behind her in the primaries.

2. Oh, I really want to see Palin hug Gingrich with dreamy eyes closed like she did McCain
That would really mess with her mind. :rofl:

3. We (and Obama) should be so lucky
But I doubt that Palin wants to get off the gravy train.

4. Don't watch Todd. His right-wingery will make your eyes burn.
Edited on Thu Jul-22-10 06:54 PM by valerief
I turned it on, saw he was hosting, and turned it right off. Usually, I don't watch Tweety, but I'll leave him on for 15 minutes before Countdown starts. Not Todd. Yecch.

5. How anyone could consider putting the nuclear launch codes
in the hands of such an airhead defies rational thought. A creationist who has palled around with a Witch Doctor cannot be taken seriously. She will be crushed by the media.

7. It wouldn't be in her hands. It would be in the hands of Exxon-Mobil and BP. nt

12. The media loves Palin. She won't have to worry about positive coverage.

6. OK. Bring on the debates! It must suck to not have any
viable candidates, though I did read this today, and it gave me a panic attack...

Another Bush in the White House?

snip//

Would Republicans dare coalesce behind Bush? Surely they would. The hallmark of today's politics is a truculent refusal to concede error. What could possibly show up those arrogant liberals like nominating another Bush? Nor is it apparent that doing so would be politically perilous. As Obama's approval ratings continue to fall, it seems ever more likely that the 2012 election will be hard-fought and close, regardless of who is the Republican nominee. And Jeb Bush's appeal to the center is at least as strong as that of his colleagues.

The biggest obstacle to a Jeb Bush candidacy is Bush himself. Though he is traveling more often and raising money for Republicans, he has kept a low profile. Friends say he dislikes Obama's constant criticism of his brother. ''It's childish,'' he told the New York Times last month. Of course, the surest way to defend the family name would be to defeat the president who got elected by impugning it.

10. No way it's Gingrich / Palin or Palin / Gringrich
Neither of their egos would let them take the veep position. And neither of their egos would have them choose the other as their veep so there wouldn't be any chance of upstaged.

13. The teabaggers will decide; Palin-Gingrich would satisfy the republican convention
delegates. No way they would accept anyone else. Maybe Huckabee, but the media doesn't love him that much.

26. When you put it in those terms...
I could see Palin / Gingrich because it would be an even worse version of Bush / Cheney, with the idiot in the top spot being manipulated by the evil prick with the knowledge.

27. It would also be a stable continuation of the understanding between the two republican bases.
Palin would represent the Jaysus lovers, while Gingrich is totally good with the get rid of our taxes and invade countries so we can get no-bid contracts group.

16. I'd give Gingrich $13 to have him run and lose like a three-legged race horse
Gingrich is perhaps an even better chance at being a complete loser than Palin is.

18. Rethugs didn't learn from Dole or McCain? Newt is not any more likable then they were and
they were not likable at all.

24. Interesting prediction, AlinPA. That would really
send Newt into a tizzy, wouldn't it -- finishing in Iowa behind someone like Sarah Palin.

But it could happen.

It's kind of delicious for us that at least for now the Pukes are a rudderless pack of howling racist obstructionist morons. They're divided and clueless and mean-spirited as well.

30. The only thing viable about Newt is that he's been out
out of power, and out of the spotlight. People forget. Give him a national platform and more visibility, and the public will rediscover Newt Gingrich for who he really is at his worst.

31. A dream ticket indeed...
...for the Democrats anyway.

Let's see. Newt Gingrich, serial adulterer who loves to pontificate on moral issues and left the House under a cloud. Sarah Palin, serial grifter who left her job as Governor of Alaska just over halfway through her 4-year term so she could make money on speaking engagements.

Yeah, they'd be hard to attack.

Just more media hot air.
