Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Silver: "Now then, do I think Palin is the favorite to win the Republican primary? Not necessarily. She's certainly not the majority favorite and perhaps not the plurality favorite, depending on who runs. And you could fairly easily come up with a set of ten bullet points to argue against Palin's chances. But I think she'll run, and I think it would be a mistake to discount her chances too significantly given the makeup and mood of the Republican primary electorate."

11. Because what we need right now is another Sarah thread.

8. Attempts by the Republican Establishment to neuter her may backfire.
They could try spaying instead.

Go ahead and run the dumb bitch. Ooops, sorry muffy.

12. Because airheads need representation, too.

6. She's tough to campaign against.

How so?

An unprepared chimp could beat her in a debate.

Once she's back into a campaign setting where her answers will actually mean something, I think she'll sink just like she did in 2008.

She may appeal to a Republican base enough to get a nomination, but I think her lack of preparedness in 2008 would still haunt her in 2012. I know plenty of moderates (I know, anecdotal evidence doesn't REALLY count for anything) who were appalled by her in 2008 and wouldn't dream of voting for her in 2012 even if they don't like Obama. It'd be like running Kerry against Bush.

Plus, resigning from the position of governor would provide plenty of cannon fodder for opposition advertising.

1. Enthusiasm. (Too ignorant to see that she is only the flavor of the month)

2. 2010. (repubs will pick ups seats. there are a few turds in the dems that need to be flushed, like pelosi and reid.)

3. The other candidates are flawed. (we'll foget about that little resigning the gov thingey, and those temporary lapses of even an average intelligence)

4. The other candidates might not run. (that always makes it easier to win)

5. The media will be rooting for her. (like romans at a gladiator tournament)

6. She's tough to campaign against. (this guy needs to find a different campaign manager)

7. There are virtually no moderates left in the Republican base. (right, like sarah is moderate. she's moderate if you're ghingus khan, maybe)

8. Attempts by the Republican Establishment to neuter her may backfire. (yea, you just wait till she pulls out that super-charged intellect, any day now, you just wait.)

9. Parties tend to nominate more extreme candidates in elections against incumbents. (yes, because otherwise no sane person would ever elect them).

10. She gets new media; new media gets her. (when you skin a salmon in the evening, your hands smell like shit the next day).

The only one that has any validity at all is #9. It's a close race between a disliked incumbent and an incompetent challenger.
