Palin-Bachmann 2012?
By most accounts 46% of the people who voted during the last presidential election were willing to take a shot a putting Sarah Palin a heartbeat away from the Presidency. That's an awful lot of people.....
Most of those folks are mad as hell that their candidates didn't win and the Republican party is doing all that it can to ensure that they stay that way until the next election. The Republicans are currently engaged in political obstruction and sabotage on a level rarely seen here. It will get worse as time progresses. The purveyors of fear are hard at work making plans to storm the citadel of the American democratic process and take back what they believe to be rightfully theirs.
They are currently desparate and are apparantly willing to try just about anything to accomplish their goal. The 2012 election looms on the horizon as their next chance to show the world that they would stop at nothing to get it all back.
So what about a Palin/Bachmann dog & pony show? It would be funny if it weren't so scary or is that; it would be scary if it weren't so funny. Impossible you say? The Republican campaign clown show will be something to see.
Remeber, they'll try anything and stop at nothing and at least 46% of the voting public are willing to let them have it their way.........
Palin and Bachmann couldn't run as a duo, because according to knowledgeable sources, they are actually the same individual - one who switches hairdos whenever necessary to give the impression they are different. Has anyone ever seem both of them in the same room together? See what I mean?

It seems like GOP has a secret homestudy program for women like Ms.Palin and Ms.Bachmann. Neither one knows much. The only important thing they have learned in their studies is to act like bazookabums, keep blasting out what ever comes to their minds as long as the blasts are loud. No thinking requiered from these two ladies or their supporters.
Kissinger said in the end with his meeting with Ms.Palin:"She is an afrodisiac".
All these over- sexed republicans might just like her for that reason.

You'd need a third name on the ticket (Steele would be my choice) since Palin is so not a quitter.

Give them some time and they will start talking Ann Coulter for Secretary of State.....Would that be a feminist's dream trifecta?

Get real Ron. 46% wouldn't vote for her any more. Stick a fork in her, she's done.

The Republicans have a special knack for raising the dead...Does the name Richard M. Nixon mean anything to you?

Nixon was a leftist compared to these two.

I hope they do run together because it would be a comedy goldmine!
The movie would be titled Loony And Loonier, the sequel Loony and Loonierer.

I wouldn't conclude that the vice-president "gets" the votes.
That said, I have no doubt palin envisions herself atop of the ticket in 2012.
But I also have no doubt no one with any authority in the party wants her there.
And bachmann is just a local side show.
The real trick for the republicans is how they will distance themselves from palin without alienating her supporters.

They will not distance themselves from her unless she becomes useless to them....Palin was herself just a local side show....The problem with the Republican Party is that there is no one in authority....

The dead fish & no census ticket. The new dynamic duo, moose woman & girl wonder. The urban dictionary could only be so lucky. Hockey moms vs. Alien. Feminism vs. socialism. Lipstick & slapstick. A winker & a thinker.
Talk about climate change.
