Sarah Palin’s Got Bigger Problems Than Charles Krauthammer

  • "But Palin has bigger problems than Krauthammer. A new Washington Post/ABC News poll shows that 60 percent of registered voters said they would “definitely not consider” voting for Palin for president and that she would lose to President Obama in a head-to-head match-up by a margin of 53-40 percent.

  • Palin’s popularity among Republicans continues to be high, and she will be a formidable contender for the GOP nomination if, as appears likely, she runs. But her appeal is limited to those who already share her views. Palin’s resentment of the Washington establishment and perhaps even of such intellectual gatekeepers of the conservative movement as Krauthammer may resonate with many conservative voters, but her attitude (which is the opposite of conservative icon Ronald Reagan’s genial responses to hostile media) alienates everyone else.

  • Everything she does and says lately seems geared toward reinforcing the negative opinion of that 60 percent already convinced that she isn’t qualified to be the commander in chief. And there’s simply no way that a person that six out of 10 voters wouldn’t vote for under any circumstances can be elected president.

  • So, rather than taunting people like Krauthammer, who merely said aloud what so many others are thinking about her unpresidential demeanor, maybe Sarah Palin ought to be waking up to the fact that she is simply unelectable."


Read all of the piece re: The Factor appearance last night.

Sarah Palin will be formidable in a multi-way GOP primary election and most probably will be able to beat Mitt Romney or Mitch Daniels for the nomination (Mike Huckabee would not run if Palin does).

However, I don’t think she would be able to beat Obama – at least if the election were held today.

As I have said, better for her to keep her Fox News job and run for Alaska Senate in 2014 if she wants to hold elective office again.

Sarah is young and needs more experience in the policy arena before voters will trust her with the Presidency.

  • Reapportionment Preview: Mapping Out States “On the Bubble”

    "On Tuesday, the Census Bureau will fulfill its constitutional mandate and release its highly anticipated official state population totals and the resulting allotment of House seats and Electoral College votes for the next decade.

  • For some states, there isn’t much suspense. Georgia, Nevada, and Utah are all but certain to gain an additional seat in the House, while Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania are all but certain to lose a seat and Ohio is all but certain to lose two seats.

  • However, much like NCAA basketball teams anticipate Selection Sunday, some states are “on the bubble” and won’t know how many seats they will have until Tuesday. According to population estimates released by Election Data Services’ Kimball Brace, the ten states in contention for the “last five” seats in the House (in order of likelihood to make the cut) are South Carolina, Florida, Minnesota, Washington, Texas, New York, California, Arizona, North Carolina, and Illinois.

  • While South Carolina, Washington, California, and North Carolina are all in the running for one additional seat, Minnesota and Illinois are fighting just to preserve their current totals. The big winner, Texas, will gain either three or four new seats. Florida and Arizona will either gain one or two new seats. And New York will lose either one or two of its current seats. What’s at stake in the reapportionment release for these “bubble” states in 2012 and beyond?"

Read the rest.

This reapportionment undoubtedly help the GOP in its Presidential ambitions for 2012 as most gains are in already predominate "Red States."

The economy is not good in Ventura County, California.

Ventura County’s unemployment rate rose to 10.8 percent in November from a revised 10.5 percent in October, state officials said today.

California’s unemployment rate remains unchanged at 12.4 percent while the nation’s unemployment rate has edged up to 9.8 percent after three months rooted at 9.6 percent.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger put out a statement this morning urging Gov.-elect Jerry Brown and the Legislature to focus on California’s employers.

At least the President has just signed a continuation of the Bush-Era Tax Cuts and Rates. But, more has to be done to cut spending, regulation and taxes.

START Treaty Whip Count Says NO Ratification?

startx START Treaty Whip Count Says NO Ratification?
Political Cartoon by Michael Ramirez
The latest GOP whip count has the START Treaty failing ratification (needs 2/3 of Senate in the affirmative for ratification).
Watching the floor debate in the Senate today, Senator McCain looks like a no on New START, and Sen. Corker — who voted the treaty out of committee — appears increasingly sore over Reid’s decision to bring votes on DREAM and DADT alongside New START. The scuttlebutt from Hill staffers is that Senator Graham might be leaning no as well. Isakson, who also voted with the Democrats to pass START out of committe, will prove key. If all four are going to oppose New START, it probably can’t pass.

Sarah Palin Urges Senate Republicans to Vote NO on New START Treaty

Here is her post over at National Review.

The proposed New START agreement should be evaluated by the only criteria that matters for a treaty: Is it in America’s interest?  I am convinced this treaty is not.  It should not be rammed through in the lame duck session using behind the scenes deal-making reminiscent of the tactics used in the health care debate.

New START actually requires the U.S. to reduce our nuclear weapons and allows the Russians to increase theirs.  This is one-sided and makes no strategic sense.  New START’s verification regime is weaker than the treaty it replaces, making it harder for us to detect Russian cheating.  Since we now know Russia has not complied with many arms control agreements currently in force, this is a serious matter. 

Read it all.

It is probably best to table the treaty and have the next Senate review and/or amend it. There really is NO hurry to rush the debate.

Melt the Phones, Patriots

The DREAM Act vote WILL be tomorrow in the U.S. Senate.
Sen. Reid’s change of plans was announced suddenly Thursday evening.

Does that mean he thinks he has the 60 votes to pass this amnesty? Not necessarily. Our NumbersUSA whip count says he doesn’t have the votes. But votes could change over the next 24 hours under the barrage of last-minute personal appeals from poster-child illegal-alien students and groups of local clergy all saying the amnesty is a moral requirement. Pres. Obama put out an appeal for clergy to help him round up the last votes needed.

So, the moment of truth is upon every one of us. Will we rise to the occasion and help our allies in the Senate defeat this amnesty?

So, melt the phones to these 12 Senators and urge them to vote NO on the DREAM Act.
