Contrary to media hype, Sarah Palin is very unpopular
well you are right about that.... i know its a first....
she was damage went her mother or father or witch doctor drop her on her head.
"Heads I win, tails you lose."
"I'm rubber; you're glue: bounces off me and sticks to you."
"Do what I say, not what I do."
The drug addled gas bag would have gleefully detailed how, if the guy Palin backed had won in NY's 23rd instead, on how that proves Palin is a powerful voice who knows what she is talking about and should now be taken seriously by all for her insightful abilities!
What a predictable oaf Jeff Christie is!
And the comparative value is the same, too: nil.
I mean, Sarah Palin could have a full frontal lobotomy tomorrow and Limbaugh would be right on top of it. "This lobotomy in no way harms Palin," Limbaugh would say. "In fact, I have it on good authority that it has actually made her a better Presidential candidate."
Or if there were a video of Sarah Palin molesting a busload of school kids. And you know that Limbaugh would be saying, "This is excellent news for Palin. It shows that she is human, which is more than I can say for Obama......."
It didn't seem to bother George W. Bush. :-)
The NJ and VA races were expected to go to the GOP. VA always goes for the party opposite the sitting president. And Corizine tripped himself up in NJ.
But, dist 23 was a surprise, considering it's the first Dem win in about 100 years.
Face it. People just ain't buying that "moral values" crap.
Why was Hoffman even running, when the GOP already HAD a candidate? Because the "conservative" party thought she was too liberal.
I guess the voters in the 23rd district thought otherwise.
The Conservative party platform:

. . . and yet, the Democrats losing governorships in NJ and VA -- while GAINING two house seats -- is Obama's "Waterloo", and "no question this is an anti-Obama vote."
Welcome to Crazyworld.
And how can her reputation be damaged when it's already in tatters?
If anything, the loss in upstate NY hurt the patriot teabagging movement. They made this guy hoffman the face of their little movement in politics and he lost a district that has been going republican for 150 years. A whig held the seat before a democrat last did. That is a brutal blow politically to this movement. People are clearly as accepting of teabaggers in congress as they are of blatant racists. You may get one or two over a few decades if you run in every single election.
Pallin described as Normal is not the word you are looking for - stupid, ignorant, moron, incompetent. Choose one of those. If he said average america that would make more sense because she is as ignorant as the average or maybe slightly below average. Her exact words were used in an SNL parody of her. She wrote her own parody script - that is how ridiculous she sounds to reasonably educated people.
He failed at getting the GOP canidate off the ballot which allowed her to pick up 5% of the vote.
Incedently the Conservative canidate lost by 4%
Looks like they needed that 5% Rush failed to ensure they got....
On a more serious note Rush might not want to admit to forcing the R out of the race either, assuming that everyone who voted C would have voted for her, as well as some of the people who voted D after she endorsed him Rush managed to turn what should have been a 51% 49% GOP victory into a 49% 45% 5% GOP and conservative loss
Rush denied his party the "sweep" last night (ignoring califoria like most right wingers have been) and its nice to see him own up to it on air.....
I guess if it keeps the old rightys from driving their Hoverrounds off a cliff, he's providing a service, but reality is going to hit hard when they eventually snap out of it.

Doug Hoffman was Palin 2.0.
Didn't live in the district, had to be spoon-fed his lined by Dick Armey.
Doug Hoffman was damaged by this loss.
Sorry! She's was damaged the first time McCain announced her name.
Any guesses?
And so many grammar errors as well! Where is that troll who slammed me for a couple typos a few days ago anyway?
Pilotsharpe: “she was damage went her mother or father or witch doctor drop her on her head.”
Capfoster: “The drug addled gas bag would have gleefully detailed how……”
Moe: “My thoughts exactly. She is damaged goods; basically a dumb ass.”
The New Pilgrams: “Or if there were a video of Sarah Palin molesting a busload of school kids”
Sharpe: “Pallin described as Normal is not the word you are looking for - stupid, ignorant, moron, incompetent. “
There are more but I’m sure, as SLRTX said above,: “Face it. People just ain't buying that "moral values" crap. “
There could only be one reason why Rush would consider Palin "normal" or think of her as a good political candidate for President.
I want everyone to take a guess before I give an answer; give up?
The reason why Rush gives Sarah Palin a vote of confidence: ANSWER: Sarah Palin is WHITE.
I dare anyone to come up with a better reason.
Do you remember when Palin first came on the scene? She was shield from the media. That's how bad a candidate she was.
Do you remember what happened when she was finally allowed to speak to the Press?
Sarah showed how unprepared and inadequate she was.
You tell me what possible reason, other than whiteness, could Rush be impressed with Sarah Palin?
