The Sane GOP Edges Slowly Away From Palin


This Brown guy isn't so bad:

In a Jan. 28 interview with the Associated Press, {Scott} Brown said he didn't know Palin, had never spoken with her and that she never reached out to him. Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapleton told the news Web site Politico that Palin did speak with Brown on election night and congratulated him "on his most historic victory for not only Massachusetts but the nation." A Brown aide said the call from the former Republican presidential candidate "had completely slipped his mind," and added that it was very nice of her to make the call.

I'm reliably told that very very few Republicans running in competitive seats want her anywhere near them. In some ways, it appears Scott Brown's success really did hurt Palin's luster. At some point, as Palin mania subsides, even the MSM may begin to investigate who exactly she really is.

2. Brown is a rethug; that's what he's supposed to do. As for

Sullivan, you are really off the mark there. Nice try, but while he's still conservative, he does like Obama a lot and thinks the rethugs are nuts.

[Grand Taurean]

5. I am right on the mark.

Sully likes Obama's "post-partisan" anti-culture war doings. That is all.

3. Palin's star is already starting to fall..

the infighting amongst the palinbots is interesting...it's like they had suddenly woken up and realized she's not actually a hockey mum...but someone that is exploiting them and their donations

[Tempest]

6. It'll be interesting to see what happens now she's outed as a tax cheat

[BlueIris]

7. See ya, Sarah.

Enjoy the massive wasteland I see in your future.

8. they have to if they want to survive as a rational political party.

yet, i heard on npr today that she will be campaigning for john mccain in arizona....it's a big old goofy world.

[Bobbieo]

10. I don't envy Palin if she if she bucks JD,. Hayworth in the Az senate

campaign. But I'd love to see it.

[gratuitous]

9. My first thought on seeing "The Sane GOP"

Both of them?

[AlinPA]

11. Has Brown had his meeting with Rush Limbaugh yet?

[Jeffersons Ghost]

12. K&R after reading your OP, I'm beginning to like her a little...

Because I live in MA and hate Scott Brown-shirt ALOT!

[daleman]

13. GOP, Palin......Sane

Isn't this an oxymoron.....am I allowed to use the word moron.

Sarah Palin continues to be the best supporter of the Democratic party....she opens her mouth, people wince and run from the GOP

[Turborama]

14. "news Web site Politico"

Sorry, that one just stuck in my craw... :spray:

[joeybee12]

15. Sane and GOP in the same sentence?

Oh, the humanity!

[DFW]

16. The sane GOP, eh?

They'll STILL need to increase their ranks to have enough to field a softball team, whereas the insane GOP are enough
to replace the population of Spain.

[stubtoe]

17. "..who exactly she really is." Two words: Milli Vanilli

Lights are on but nobody's home.

[Blue Owl]

18. Put down the stupid and back away slowly

Ooops, too late -- the damage has been done.

Oh well, better luck next time, fuckos.

[yurbud]

19. It's too late. Stupid is all they have left. They can't go back to being Rockefeller Republicans

now.

[TheKentuckian]

20. There is no such thing as a sane Republican unless you mean a compromised Democrat

like the Blew Dogs, the DLC, or "New Democrats".

I reckon those are "sane" Republicans, they'd make it through a 72 hour observation at least while even the middle and "left" of the pack Confederates are clearly delusional and regularly display psychotic and/or anti-social behaviors.

[grytpype]

21. But we don't want that. Really we want Palin to be the Repug nominee in 2012.

Right?
