"What I would advise the nominee, Mitt Romney, or whomever the nominee is: Don't necessarily play it safe and do just what the GOP establishment expects them to do," Palin said on NBC's "Today" show.
According to Palin, the expected route would be to "take somebody just kinda going along to get along, not willing to really shake it up, not willing to go rogue and shake it up and say that we need relentless and we need sudden reform of our government to put it back on the side of the people."
The phrase "going rogue" is one Palin uses often to describe her philosophy and is also the name of Palin's 2009 book. Palin, the former governor of Alaska, was the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee. She defended her own choice for what eventually resulted in a losing ticket, and said this year's VP pick doesn't necessarily need to have national experience either.
"I would put up my record ... up against any of the other potential GOP vice presidential nominess last round," she said.

(31,849 posts)I thought "$orry" is the natural adjective when paired with $i$ter $arah!
But that said ... I think Ryan on the gop ticket would do exactly what $i$ter $arah did for McCain.
Although Ryan is infinitely more articulate than $i$ter $arah, his presense will allow Democrats all down the line, everywhere in the nation ... even the cowardly blue dogs ... to draw a clear distinction in the Democratic vision for the nation.

(82,849 posts)Republicans don't much care for shaking things up or going rogue, unless it's exclusively confined to someone else.
On the other hand, why is NBC giving such prime air time to an on-air personality from another network? What's next? A week of Glenn Beck and his chalkboard to tell the Toady Show audience what a swell guy he is?

(21,925 posts)That accent with the hard "r" that sounds like somewhere between an excited duck and a growling dog and the sing song cadence with the occasional rising pitch to a sound only a dog can hear was enough. In a way, it's good that her voice is so distracting that it keeps me from concentrating on the thoughts that come out of her mouth.

(23,973 posts)I see in Palin the Triumph Of Ignorance Over Reason.
How any rational human being can take what that person says for anything other than gibberish astounds me.
How any ignorant human being can take what she says as the truth bodes ill for the future of our species.

(976 posts)Ol' Sarah Failin never gives up. She must be going broke and wants to raid the campaign coffers. She is so stupid, she does not know how irrelevant she is becoming.
