| WHEN SARAH Palin burst on the national political scene in 2008, her star power was blinding to both her fans and detractors. Love her or hate her, the Alaska governor tapped by Senator John McCain to be his running mate became an instant celebrity. The GOP ticket’s loss that November seemed not to affect her popularity. Palin’s public appearances continued to draw enormous crowds, and her sometimes dubious political comments invariably were treated as news. When she joined Fox News in 2010 as a commentator at a salary of $1 million a year, her future in the limelight

Um..Ted Cruz was picked by Sarah Palin to win. Bobby Jindal was on the scene long before Gov. Palin and has yet to emerge on the National scene because he is working his tail off to correct the royal screwups of the demorats before him. Nikki Haley has been slammed, slandered, vilified by the very same press that hung Gov. Palin out to dry. It is funny to see that even after all the lies the obama/socialist/marxist press has told on the Gov. they still declare her a "non issue" but yet they are still scared to death of her. Hence the pointless article by the Boston Globe Head Kneelers to obama.

No matter how many times the true Sarah believers repeat the "scared to death of her" mantra it is still a joke. No one, absolutely no one, is afraid of Palin. There are some serious conservatives out there who are willing to work to earn an office where they could make a difference. Sarah has no intention of ever doing that.

The liberal´s absolute obsession with Sarah Palin shows how much they fear her. Look at the recent Hollywood awards shows-- she STILL plays a major role in the jokes and slams, 4 years after she was VP candidate. We should listen to their fear of her and run her for president in 2016.

While it´s true that Palin will have a difficult time remaining politically important without holding office, the fact is that she is still part of the national conversation more than four years after her last run for office.
It wouldn´t surprise me if she runs for office--senate or president--Mark Begich is up for reelection in 2016 in the Senate, and I frankly don´t see a clear front runner for the GOP presidential nomination at this point.
By 2015, a lot of the furor over 2008 will be old news, and Palin will have a much better chance at a fresh start politically than she would have had last year.

Please. Jindal was considered in 2008 and again this year. He too scares Obama because he is what Obama pretends to be--- the antiWashington who attacks problems. As great as he is, he´d be the VP right now if the situation had presented itself.
His time shall come.
Jealousy of Palin and her ability to articulate things old guard republicans don´t wanna hear is probably something you need to address with your therapist.

I always liked Palin, a real political talent. To be honest when she stepped down as governor and had a TV reality show, I took that to mean she was no longer interested in a running for higher office. As far as the future it´s always a mistake to count anyone out, remember Nixon a loser that was finished in politics, Reagen a washed up old actor who was to simple minded to be elected president.

OP and gang hopes she might be eclipsed, but even her condolence message with reference to Kyle was grabbed by many, and for days. Let any article with the hint of demeaning/belittling her be printed and we know just who readily brings it to the forefront. Keep trying - Gov. Palin has not gone away.

I would like to think Sarah is gathering dossiers on the major Media players who constantly lie about her. Later, when she reemerges and one of the Major Media folks lie about her she then releases the dossier on that person to the public.
The media folks don´t have IQ´s high enough to comprehend that "Paybacks are a mutha" (put your word of choice there). They just may learn it one day, the hard way.

Secretary of State John Kerry is worth some $200 million, give or take a yacht. So his decision to slap a 5% pay cut on himself in solidarity with government employees squeezed by sequestration won’t likely hurt him much. But he’s saving taxpayers another way, too — if unintentionally. And it’s downright troubling. How else is Kerry saving money? He’s failing to hire folks to fill key spots at his agency. Terrific. Think about it: With the North Koreans threatening nuclear strikes against America — and Kerry himself preparing to visit South Korea this week — wouldn’t it be a tad helpful

In March, the number of Americans who dropped out of the labor force increased by 663,000 which adds up to a record 90 million Americans who are no longer looking for employment. Zero Hedge reported: This was the biggest monthly increase in people dropping out of the labor force since January 2012, when the BLS did its census recast of the labor numbers. And even worse, the labor force participation rate plunged from an already abysmal 63.5% to 63.3% - the lowest since 1979!But at least it helped with the now painfully grotesque propaganda

Roman Catholic, Jesuit-affiliated Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington has refused to recognize the Knights of Columbus as an official student group because — wait for it — the Knights of Columbus is a Catholic organization. Gonzaga administrators notified the students who had sought the school’s official seal of approval last month, reports The Cardinal Newman Society’s Catholic Education Daily. “The Knights of Columbus, by their very nature, is a men’s organization in which only Catholics may participate via membership,” reads a letter written by Sue Weitz, vice president for student life. “These criteria are inconsistent with the policy

After 69 years, Newt Gingrich is wealthy, a celebrity, and the owner of a tony home in Northern Virginia. His place in the history books, as the leader of the Republican revolution, has long been established. But the former House speaker isn’t ready to fade away. “I don’t rule it out,” he said on Thursday over breakfast, when asked about a future presidential run. He spoke excitedly about his company, Gingrich Productions, and his upcoming trip to South Carolina, where he won the Republican primary last year. Gingrich’s unflagging energy isn’t surprising.

Going with his parental gut, President Obama applauded in 2011 when Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius barred girls under 17 from obtaining the morning-after pill without a prescription. He pictured 10- and 11-year-olds buying pregnancy prevention medicine as easily as bubble gum and drew a line. “As the father of two daughters, it makes sense to apply some common sense,” the President said. Now, a Brooklyn federal judge has ruled that moms and dads — including the ones in the White House — are owed no legal say over whether very young daughters can pop a hormonal contraceptive

A restaurant where President Obama took winners of his 2012 campaign’s “Dinner with Barack” contest was forced to close this week because it was cited for failing to comply with Washington, D.C.’s health and sanitation regulations. Smith Commons, located in the H Street corridor of Washington, D.C. is a popular dining destination in Washington. According to WUSA9, Smith Commons was cited for “operating without hot water and without a staff member certified in managing food safety.” When WUSA9 asked whether the problems had been remedied, the establishment declined to answer.

It would take superspin powers to portray the March jobs report as anything other than a huge step in the wrong direction. The US economy added just 88,000 jobs last month, 95,000 in the private sector as public payrolls fell by 7,000. The official unemployment rate ticked down a tenth of a point to 7.6%. 1. That is a paltry number of jobs, more or less matching assumed labor force growth per month. So the economy must add at least that many jobs just to keep the labor market at current depressed levels.

James Lohr was taken into custody early Friday, said El Paso County sheriff´s spokesman Jeff Kramer. Lohr was wanted for questioning in the killing of Colorado Corrections Director Tom Clements. It´s unclear if Lohr has been charged. Authorities believe Lohr was in contact with gang associate Evan Ebel days before the slayings of Clements and pizza delivery man Nate Leon.

Senator Marco Rubio is the man of the hour. He has deftly positioned himself as the indispensable figure in this year’s immigration debate. His participation has given the Gang of Eight approach to amnesty some insulation from grassroots conservative criticism, at least for a time. Liberals in Congress understand that his imprimatur is essential to get Republican votes for the amnesty. But Rubio’s position as a bridge between the parties on immigration means he faces conflicting demands. He wants to ride success on immigration to the 2016 presidential nomination but has also made hard commitments to conservatives

Last week, the Society of Actuaries warned about sticker shock ahead for individuals and families buying health insurance. How did the White House respond? In its usual Orwellian fashion, saying “healthcare costs are falling thanks to the reform law.” Falling is correct only if you’re standing on your head. President Obama repeatedly promised that insurance exchanges will save families up to $2,300 a year. He couldn’t possibly have believed it. From day one, it was obvious the law would push up premiums. That’s because it requires insurers to cover services

The rites of spring are: daylight savings time... cherry blossoms and daffodils… and another North Korean military crisis. Every year, come spring, the North Korean people run low on their stocks of food, fuel and fear. Their leaders manage the situation by manufacturing a crisis. They threaten war, their people forget about hardships to rally round the flag, and the world trembles. Everyone agrees to consultations, the North Koreans get assistance, and the crisis is averted….until the same time next year. The annual North Korean display of braggadocio and brinksmanship is so predictable you can practically set your iCalendar to auto-renew.

White House officials are now openly conceding that President Obama´s gun control package could die on Capitol Hill, a development analysts said would cast a pall over the president´s second-term agenda and weaken his leverage with Republicans. The president´s trek to Denver on Wednesday was his latest attempt to regain momentum on the issue of gun violence, on which Obama has so far failed to close a deal despite a substantial investment of political capital. "There doesn´t have to be a conflict between protecting our citizens and protecting our Second Amendment rights," Obama said,

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
