Steele: Palin ‘Will Be Helpful’ in ’09 Gov’s Races
EmailABC News' Rick Klein reports: Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele tonight said he plans to get in touch with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin soon — and indicated that he wants her help in the off-year gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia. "I plan on talking to Gov. Palin very soon," Steele said in a written statement. "She is an important and galvanizing voice in the Republican Party. I believe she will be very helpful to the party this year as we wage critical campaigns in Virginia and New Jersey. I am certain this has been a difficult decision for her to step down as Alaska's governor. She has been a good governor for her state and I wish her and the Palin family the best during this transition."

Steele and Palin, what a pair! Two nut cases to lead the GOP; how bad can it get?

So Gov. Corzine and Creigh Deeds are quaking in their boots at the thought of Witless from Wasilla coming to New Jersey and Virginia to campaign for their opponents. A bit like, “Oh no, don’t throw me in the briar patch.” Steele, R. U. Kidding Me?

Palin has more brains in her pinky than ODumbda has in his whole body! I’m glad ODumbda will be a one term President. This nut case has to go!

The abject fear that the left has for
Palin spawns the kneejerk vitriol seen
with any mention of her name. You
progressives “doth protest too much.”
Save your bullets for riding “shotgun”
for the One. He’s gonna need you more
and more as the economy goes south.

Mess-O-Rama-O-Bama has helped the fat cats and the people are still waiting for bread and butter jobs.
But if Sarah Palin were President you can bet she’d make a way for everyone to have Moose Chillie in Every Pot! Pronto!!

The GOP is taking over the top spot for Best Comedy Show of the Year. I never thought I would live to see the day when Saturday Night Live became the underdog. What next, hell freezing over?

Palin, Used Basketball & the Point Guard Position as a Metaphor regarding the Game of Politics was a …
[Very-Bad Example]
A Point Guard will Not Quit a [Game]
Especially Mid-Way Through the 3rd Quarter of a Crucial Game, to Quit is not, Passing the Ball, to Advance or Help the Team, its…
[Quitting] [Phoning it in] & [Giving Up]
Plain & Simple.
In Palin’s case, the Game is called [Politics]
Note: Unless he or She is Pulled, Benched, Injured-Fouled Out…
I Repeat, He-She Will Not Quit Mid-Way in the 3rd Quarter…
He or She will Finish the [Game]
Win,Lose or Draw …
Win, Lose or Draw.
If Sarah Palin Can not Handle the Media Pressure from a Governors Stand Point [Alaska] how in the Hell can she Handle the Congress, Senate,VP of the USA or the…
Highest Office in the Land, The Presidency of the USA.
Palin Couldn’t Cut it and there’s Much More to her Abrupt & Hurried Resignation than what Palin Revealed Yesterday, but its coming.
Basketball Exposes Cheats, Quitters & Pretenders.
Basketball also Molds, Winners under Extreme Duress, who Rise to the Occasion, not Succumb to the Pressures of the Game, but Face their Worst Fears & Conquer their Demons….
While the World, Naysayers, Pundits & Odds Makers Watch in Awe as the the Basketball Player, Proves them …WRONG !!
Note: Look at Kobe Bryant, as the Ultimate in Handling the Media and Rising to the Top, in Spite of it all, Not Running or Succumbing to Mass Media, its Called [Character]

Republican Governors…
Tim Pawlenty:Announced he will [Not Run] for Re-Election in [2010]but will Serve out his Governorship.
Responsible & Orderly Indeed, He’ll still Lose in [2012]
———————
Arnold Swarzenegger: Has every Right to [Quit] his State is Insolvent [Bankrupt] yet he Continues Onward.
I Respect & Admire Swarzenegger in not taking the [Easy Way Out] via
[Resigning-Quitting]
—————————
Mark Sanford: He of all Governors should [Resign] he’s Embarassed his Wife,Children & People in his State, that he Represents.
Yet for Now, he Clings to his Governorship, though he was Ir-Responsible as Hell Itself.
He Refuses to Relinquish the Governorship.
———————
Sarah Palin: 2 1/2 Year Governorship. No National or International Experience, i.e. Congress Woman or US Senator. No Alaskan Pipeline, though the Media Allowed her to get Away with [Blatantly Lying]at the ..
2008 RNC Convention, when she Asserted that the Pipeline was being Built, when not One Pipe has been Laid and Gas Companies she Snubbed and Prevented from Bidding in the Contract Process, to make the Pipeline…
When in Fact, the Gas Leases are Owned by Big Oil-Gas.
Trans Canada was given [500 Million $$] of the Alaskan Money, when they would Only Build the Pipeline, Not Supply the Gas.
In any case, the Gas Pipeline’s Cost More than [27 Billion $$] !!
Guess who will be Financing the [28 Billion $$] Pipeline ..Hmm
[The Dreaded US Government] Tada !!
Can You People not See how Unstable,Unhinged, Un-Predictable & Sparatic this Woman is ?
She’s No [Maverick]
John McCain Looks [Normal] Compared to Sarah Palin’s Movement.
The Worst McCain did was Pretend to [Suspend] his Campaign Last Year.
McCain Never [Quit-Resigned]
Even during the [Keating 5 Scandal]
————————–
Sarah Palin is a Hollow,Floating Bubble, Just Air Up There.
Blames the Media, yet Runs to the Media at Any Given Chance. Matt Lauer, Wolf Blitzer to Sean Hannity.
Mass Media, is Mass Media.
Is Not Fox News the most Watched of the Cable News Programs..Hmm
The Dum Dum is [Done]

Brian Smalls
You are Right
The Independents are also Owned.
The Game has Always and will Continue to be…
[Rigged-Controlled]
But Palin is a [Hollow,Floating Bubble]

Yeah, Palin can bring along Sanford with her as well…These two are prime examples of why folks are disgusted….One is of mediocre intellect and the other is of mediocre morals..

Fun stuff – keeping herself in the public eye without any responsibility. It’ll be a good way for her to promote her book! SUCKERS

I listened to it and I do not know how she appeared on TV, but she sounded frantic, frenzied and as if this were a total knee-jerk reaction. All I could thin was Thank God she is not our VP or anywhere close to the White House.
Their are some awesome, incredibly smart, poised women in the Republican party that she could stand to learn a few things from.

it’s truly sad the spectacle the republican party has made of it self.
it’s embarassing that witless in wasilla is supposed to be the great hope.
it’s time to move on.
