Sarah Palin North Korea Gaffe A Simple Misstatement, Not Consipracy

Sarah Palin's North Korea Gaffe was an innocent slip of the tongue, although the 'lame stream media' as the former Governor calls it has made it a bigger deal than it really is.  Sarah Palin's North Korea gaffe is being used by the left to illustrate some form of "incompetence", which with all due respect does not exist.

One reason I love Palin is that she doesn't stand idly by and allow people to step all over her.  She took to her social networking sites to speak out about the gaffe, pointing out 10 gaffes from our President.

She's not trying to belittle him, or say that he's incompetent - only that all politicians regardless of party are guilty of such slips of the tongue.

So what was Sarah Palin's gaffe? During a brief radio interview with Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin inadvertently called North Korea our allies. However, if you listen to the ENTIRE interview, you will see that she had it correct all along.

In short, her slip was taken out of context.  The former Alaskan Governor KNOWS that North Korea is NOT our allies.

In case you didn't hear the ENTIRE Sarah Palin North Korea gaffe, you can view it below.  It was a slip of the tongue.

Sarah Palin's Alaska Ratings Decrease

Sarah Palin's Alaska ratings decreased by nearly 50% during the second week of her reality show, which indicates that some of the buzz about her show has died down. However, there were likely millions who watched the first week because they had to - either or school, for work, to blog about, to critique - and more.

One Fox News affiliate anchor said that Palin's show was like "The Sound of Music" without the Nazis - or the music.

As far as reality TV shows go, Sarah Palin's show offers something that I haven't ever seen before - a seemingly normal American family just enjoying each other. They aren't a family of "little people", it's not a show about someone with multiple spouses, and it's not about someone who has given birth to a litter of children. It's refreshing to see a normal family interact. I don't expect excitement - just an educational hour escape from reality (after watching Kendra).

Although Sarah Palin's Alaska ratings decreased, viewership remains strong. Can't help but wonder how many will tune in to tonight's Dancing with the Stars finale!

Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin...up until two years ago, she was somewhat elusive, rather unheard of. Now, Sarah Palin is one of the most talked about characters in the GOP. Many think that she will run for president in 2012, although few think she will be successful in gaining the nomination - at least not in 2012.

The Tea Party loves Sarah Palin, and she's been the endorser of several key Tea Party candidate upsets. For instance, Joe Miller from Alaska, and Christine O'Donnell from Delaware.

Most recently, Palin endorsed Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman, calling them her 'Mama Grizzlies', and despite her eager endorsements, neither Whitman or Fiorina were present at that particular venue.

Sarah Palin's Alaska will be a show on TLC soon, and is a simple reality miniseries. It will show us the personal side of Palin...but will that hurt or help her political ambitions?

See below for a video of Sarah Palin. What are your thoughts? Do you love her or not?

Chris Christie Straw Poll Virginia Tech Tea Party Patriots

Chris Christie won the straw poll at the Virginia Tech tea Party patriots convention this weekend, beating out Tea Party sweetheart Sarah Palin. Christie was followed by Sarah Palin, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, and Jim DeMint for this poll.

Christie has previously said that he's not running for President, and that he wants to sort out New Jersey before he moves on. However, politicians typically don't announce they are running until they are 100% certain they want to head out to the election.

Absent from the top of this straw poll is Mitt Romney. Romney has long been cited as a GOP hopeful for the 2012 bid, after losing the nomination in 2008 to John McCain.

Christie is Charismatic and down to earth. Perhaps that's why he's the Straw Poll Virginia Tech Tea party patriots winner.

Donald Trump, Sarah Palin 2012?

Donald Trump, Sarah Palin 2012? Donald Trump, known simply as "The Donald" by some, is a real estate mogul, astute businessman, ladies man, and reality TV star...therefore, he would make a perfect president, now wouldn't he? Trump has hinted at running for office in 2012 and has characterized himself as a Republican.

That makes sense - typically, wealthy voters are Republicans because the views of the GOP are more favorable to the wealthy.

Sarah Palin has been coy about running for office, although Todd Palin grew irritated when Joe Miller failed to endorse Sarah Palin via an interview. This seems to hint that Sarah Palin is getting ready for a presidential run, herself.

Now, I don't know if Sarah Palin and Donald Trump would run together or not, but there are far more GOP members that I would love to see snatch the nomination. Mike Huckabee, Chris Christy, and Mitt Romney are all popular names thrown around (although none have made a firm commitment to a presidential run.)

Would you vote for Donald Trump, Sarah Palin in 2012?

Sarah Palin 2012: Todd Palin eMail Update Suggest Campaign

Sarah Palin 2012? Todd Palin, Sarah's notorious boy toy (and husband) has taken to email a message that seems to suggest that the Tea Party advocate will be running for office in 2012. The Huffington Post reported on a shocking email exchange between a frustrated Todd Palin and Alaskan Senate hopeful Joe Miller.

Joe Miller is the tea-party backed candidate from Alaska who won against incumbent Lisa Murkowski in the primary elections. Murkowski has since announced a write-in campaign to challenge Miller.

However, Miller was able to raise fundraising and gain media awareness only after the Palins endorsed him publicly.

Now that Joe Miller is involved in the Senate race, he went on Fox News to talk to Neil Cavuto. During the interview, Cavuto asked Miller if Sarah Palin was qualified to be president. He had a non-committal answer that infuriated Todd and Sarah Palin.

So Todd fires off an eMail to Miller, calling endorsements "one-sided" which is odd because Sarah Palin hasn't even announced a run. Sarah put her political career on the line for Joe Miller, and if he wouldn't have won then she would look to be an ineffective member of political circles.

This is only the latest indication of Sarah Palin's 2012 presidential bid. Would you vote for her?

Mitt Romney: Sarah Palin "Re-Energized" GOP [VIDEO]

Mitt Romney says that Sarah Palin "Re-Energized" the GOP. It's hard to believe that Meghan McCain is for "Team Romney" but really doesn't seem to like Sarah Palin - but then the former Massachusetts governor is pro-Palin.

Romney says that the former Alaskan governor is a fresh face that helped start the Tea Party movement, and that she also helped inspire a lot of women politicians. He said "We have a lot of women candidates running for office.When John McCain sat down and probably put down a list of who are some of the leading women in the Republican Party he could select as a VP, it was probably not a real long list and that's going to be different."

Whether or not the former VP hopeful will make a run for president in 2012 has yet to be seen, but she seems to be on the GOP short list along with Romney, Chris Christie, and Newt Gingrich.

Palin has been a force within the Tea Party and the GOP. Although she's made some different decisions, she still remains front and center in the media. Love her or hate her, Sarah Palin has changed the face of the GOP - but tell us what you think is that good or bad?

"Bristol the Pistol" Additional Sarah Palinisms

Sarah Palinisms make us laugh - and the latest Sarah Palinism to surface is her nickname for Bristol - "Bristol the Pistol." In an "aww schucks" moment, when DWTS partner Mark Ballas met the former Alaskan governor it was just like meeting any other hockey mom.

Warm, cozy house? Check.

Hug? Check

Embarrassing nicknames revealed? Check.

Mom taking embarassing Twitter pictures with dancing partner? Check.

See...Bristol Palin is just like you and me!

Leave it to Sarah Palin to come up with a name for pretty much anything. In our modern day, I would venture to say that she's invented more words than any other political figure out there...and she's done her share of quirky things such as writing a list of points she wanted to make at a speech in Nashville on her hand.

And to this date, I still don't know anyone who insists on having flexible straws with their drinking water. But "Bristol the Pistol" is definitely one of the funniest Sarah Palinisms of them All.

Sarah Palin 2012 Candidate for Presidency? SarahPac Releases "Ad"

Sarah Palin 2012 is a hot search term, and after the Glenn Beck rally there were lots of rumors of a Beck/Palin ballot in 2012. Beck has "no desire" to be President, although Sarah Palin has been coy when asked if she will run for President.

SarahPac, a Political Action Committee has released an ad, and although it is not a campaign ad, it has the appearance of one. Could 2012 be the year of true change, where the people start to rule the government, not the other way around? That's what the ad below seems to suggest.

Sarah Palin has gone from a political no-body to a superstar with a bestselling book and a daughter on Dancing with the Stars in less than two years. Although Meghan McCain had her doubts about Palin, she's been able to leap over any obstacle and stay on top.

Currently, Sarah Palin is #4 on the list for favored candidates for the GOP ticket. If it came down to Palin and Barack Hussein Obama, who would you choose in 2012?

Sarah Palin for President 2012?

Sarah Palin for President 2012? Many are hoping that Sarah Palin will be running for president in 2012, after failing to help the candidate for president, John McCain, win during the 2008 presidential bid.  Sarah Palin has as many fans as foes, and all in all she's been a dynamic individual in the American political scene.


With close ties to the Tea Party, Sarah Palin has had her hand in a considerable amount of Tea Party upsets within the GOP during the 2010 mid-term election primaries.  There are several candidates, including Joe Miller from her home state of Alaska, who were backed by her and upset the establishment.


Christine O'Donnell - a controversial conservative candidate for Senate in Delaware (who told Bill Maher in 1999 that she "dabbled in witchcraft") also pulled off an amazing upset, after being endorsed by the Tea Party. 


As Sarah Palin has had significant influence, will she be able to win the hearts of America's public in 2012? Does she even stand a chance against republican greats such as Mitt Romney, Chris Christie, or Newt Gingrich? 


Although Palin has yet to announce a candidacy for president, the hype remains. What do you think? Would you vote for Sarah Palin for president 2012?

Sarah Palin Approval Ratings Don't Improve after Glenn Beck Rally

Sarah Palin's approval ratings haven't improved since the Glenn Beck "Restoring Honor" rally in Washington DC. Palin is charismatic, and as Rush Limbaugh has said she wouldn't go anywhere politically had she stayed in Alaska. Limbaugh made the comment as Palin stepped down as Governor of Alaska mid-term.

Many seem to believe that Sarah Palin will run for President in 2012. Since the Glenn Beck rally, many thought that her approval ratings and popularity would go up. However, that does not appear to have been the case.

The Huffington Post reports of a Vanity Fair/60 minutes poll which indicates that 59% of Americans don't believe that Palin would make a suitable president, compared to 26% who think that she would.

Those on the left may love Palin, if only because of her popularity within the conservative ranks. There are millions who adore her, and her popularity just might win her a GOP candidacy if she does indeed run. Various polls have her within close proximity to Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, among other big name republicans.

Furthermore, if she were to run as an independent, she would take away voters from the conservative Republican party, making it easy for the Liberal democrats to win the office.

Pollster.com even has her with a 36% favorable, 52.7% unfavorable rating.

So what do you think? Do you think that the Glenn Beck Rally helped or hurt Sarah Palin's ratings and image, and do you think she would make a suitable president?
