Sarah Palin: Do We Hear Sighs of Reluctance About 2012?
By Walter Shapiro - Politics DailyWOODBURY, N.Y. – After weeks in the shadows with only a flicker of Facebook postings, Sarah Palin emerged Thursday for a lucrative and surprisingly revealing question-and-answer session before the Long Island Association, a business group used to hosting former presidents. During an hour in which she was quizzed in a more probing fashion than is often the norm on Fox News, Palin proved that she can create more headlines from a single luncheon than are possible from six months on the Mitt Romney beat. Palin tantalized her audience (who paid $300 and up for the privilege, with a backstage ...
Making Sense of Sarah Palin's Media Strategy for the Giffords Shooting
By Torie Bosch - AOL NewsSarah Palin remained largely silent in the wake of the deadly Tucson, Ariz., shootings. Her reactions were muted, by Palin standards: She posted a statement via Facebook, and Glenn Beck read on his radio show an e-mail exchange he had with Palin about the shooting. She also sent an aide onto another radio show. But now Palin has unleashed what seems to be the opening salvo of a new media strategy. In a lengthy, and forceful, new video, Palin lambastes the media for focusing on the "target map" she posted during the midterm elections, which included crosshairs over Rep. Christine Giffords' ...
It's Not Really Sarah Palin's Alaska Anymore, Poll Finds
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsIs the love affair between Sarah Palin and Alaska over? The former governor of the "Last Frontier" and potential 2012 presidential candidate is pretty unpopular in the state that serves as a backdrop for her TLC reality show, according to a recent survey from Public Policy Polling. In the poll, Alaskans gave an overwhelmingly cold response to Palin, with 58 percent giving her an unfavorable rating and 33 percent giving her a thumbs up. The only state among the 10 surveyed that showed less love for the "mama grizzly" was Massachusetts. The pollsters also offered this interesting point to ...
Oprah Refuses to Say Whether Sarah Palin Is Qualified to Be President
By David Knowles - AOL News(Dec. 7) -- No comment? In an interview with Barbara Walters, Oprah Winfrey refused to say whether she believes that Sarah Palin is qualified to be president of the United States. "What if she ran for president?" Walters asked. "She was on the program with you. You were very gracious and dignified. What if she ran for president? How would you feel?" "Well," Winfrey responded, "I wouldn't feel anything, because I think, obviously, that would be her choice." Walters then pressed the issue. "Do you think that Sarah Palin is qualified to be president?" Winfrey smiled. "I'm not going to answer ...
Obama Would Lose to Romney or Huckabee in 2012, But Still Bests Palin in Poll
By David Knowles - AOL News(Nov. 4) -- On your marks, get set...prognosticate! Though the dust is still settling on the 2010 midterm elections, pollsters are already at work sizing up the impact of the Republican electoral landslide on the still hypothetical races to come in 2012. According to a new CNN/Opinion research poll, President Obama may be looking at a first term ouster if one of two likely Republican challengers decide to run against him. Were the election were held today, Mike Huckabee would beat Obama by a not-inconsiderable margin of 52-44 percent and Mitt Romney would best the president by a margin of ...
Sarah Palin Agrees That Some in GOP Are Out to Get Her
By David Knowles - AOL News(Nov. 2) -- A day after she accused Politico of "yellow journalism" for publishing a piece that cited Republican sources who wanted to stop her from becoming the party's presidential nominee in 2012, Sarah Palin appears to have reached the piece's conclusions herself. On Monday, Palin lashed out at Politico reporters Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei for quoting unnamed sources in their piece titled, "Next for GOP leaders: Stopping Sarah Palin." "That's why I don't talk to some of these reporters who are a part of this yellow journalism world, of not using named sources I think it's very ...
Engagement Off! Latest Twist in Bristol Palin-Levi Johnston Relationship Timeline
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(Aug. 3) -- Last month, Sarah Palin's eldest daughter, Bristol, shocked the world (and her mom) by announcing her (re)engagement to ex-boyfriend and baby-daddy Levi Johnston on the cover of Us Weekly. Now, she's turned to another celeb tabloid to break the news that she's breaking it all off, again. As People reports today: In an emotional phone interview with PEOPLE, Palin spoke through tears about feeling heartbroken, humiliated and trapped -- while Johnston acted cool. "There's been no remorse," she says, adding that she's seen him only once in the past three weeks. How did it all go ...
Sarah Palin vs. Actual Mama Grizzlies vs. Grizzly Bear, the Band
By Carl Franzen - AOL NewsI am woman bear, hear me roar! Sounding a call of the wild that's fit to rattle feminists and poll watchers alike, Sarah Palin has released a video ad called "Mama Grizzlies" that offers a heady mix of animal metaphors, female empowerment themes and anti-government rhetoric on behalf of her political action committee, SarahPAC. Many are already interpreting the short film as a kind of preview of a Palin 2012 presidential candidacy. And this is hardly the first time Palin has made mention of her love of grizzly bears (or of skinning and mounting them on her wall). Still, we here at ...

By Emily Miller - Politics DailyAn MSNBC show held a political debate Monday on former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's sex appeal. The show's anchor, Donny Deutsch, stated his belief that there is national interest in Palin because "we've never seen a woman in power who looks like this and has this appeal." ...
