Should Sarah Palin Lead the Tea Party?
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(Feb. 8) -- Whether Sarah Palin -- or anyone else, for that matter -- becomes the de facto leader of the Tea Party remains to be seen. But there's no doubt that she was the face of the movement this past weekend. Palin was the star attraction at the first National Tea Party Convention in Nashville. Her portrait was on the cover of the program for the event, and she was paid a reported $100,000 to give the keynote address at Saturday night's closing dinner. The ex-governor of Alaska touched on the leadership question in her speech. "I caution against allowing this movement to be defined ...
Palin Book Attributes Leftist Native-American's Quote to UCLA's John Wooden
By David Sessions - Politics DailyChapter 3 of Sarah Palin's memoir, "Going Rogue: An American Life," begins with a quote that the book attributes to legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden: "Our land is everything to us. . . . I will tell you one of the things we remember on our land. We remember our grandfathers paid for it -- with their lives." But as The Huffington Post's Geoffrey Dunn reports, the quote is actually from John Wooden Legs, a Native American activist. The words come from the book "We Are the People: Voices From the Other Side of American History," an anthology of left-wing essays. The full quote reveals ...
Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck: 2012 Dream Ticket?
By David Knowles - AOL News(Nov. 25) -- Sarah Palin isn't ruling out the possibility of running for president in 2012 with Fox News host Glenn Beck as her running mate. The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice-presidential candidate has said she has not ruled out the idea of making a presidential bid in '12. In an interview with the right-leaning Web site Newsmax, Palin also declined to give an unqualified "no" to the idea of a Palin/Beck ticket. "I can envision a couple of different combinations, if ever I were to be in a position to really consider running for anything in the future, and I'm not there ...
What Was She Thinking? Sarah's Scenarios...
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyGovernor Sarah Palin's decision to step down from her position as governor has raised plenty of speculation as to why she would make such a decision. Even her speech fails to clarify the reasons, though she did cite saving the citizens of Alaska money -- as well as the attacks on her family. As far as I can tell, there are only a five possible reasons for her to make this decision:1. Family reasons. It is certainly respectable for someone to leave their position in order to spend time with their family -- especially if there were some sort of emergency. But Sarah Palin was able to run for vice ...
Palin's Puzzling Move Again Roils 2012 Field
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyIt's like a game of Republican dominoes, falling one by one: Nevada Sen. John Ensign, bumped out of the spotlight by South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, who now must be eternally grateful to Sarah Palin. All three had been looking at the 2012 presidential race. The men are non-starters after extramarital affairs; Palin's status is a bit murkier. I've seen some analysis that her resignation as Alaska governor later this month will give her the time and opportunity to build a team for 2012. I've seen more convincing analysis that her decision is another example of her odd political judgment, ...
Campaign 2012: Sarah Palin Fans Fire Back at Mitt Romney
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyIn a possible preview of the 2012 Republican primary contest, a skirmish has erupted between Mitt Romney and fans of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. At issue are comments that Romney made implying that Palin was only included on Time Magazine's Time 100 list because she's hot. When asked why the list only included 2 Republicans, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin, Romney had this to say:John, I'd like to have a lot more influential Republicans. I think there are a lot more influential Republicans than that would suggest. But was that the issue on the most beautiful people or the most influential ...
Reports of Sarah Palin Career Death Greatly Exaggerated
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyI've visited this theme before, but it is becoming clearer and clearer to me that the GOP is out to destroy Sarah Palin. The reason for this is simple: None of them want to run against her in 2012. Republicans in her state want to grab power for themselves.Several new logs have been added to the fire at Palin's feet. Recently, Fox News' question of the day made it apparent where the pressure on Palin is coming from: Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has been making headlines recently: * After her daughter Bristol's breakup with fiancé Levi Johnston, he appeared on 'The Tyra Banks Show' where he ...
