Politico calls the most densely populated part of the country Palin's "enemy".
Edited on Sat May-28-11 01:07 PM by RandySF
Sarah Palin goes behind enemy lines


The bus tour that stands to return her to the 2012 spotlight is taking her to the part of the country that’s the least friendly to her — the northeastern U.S.

It’s a part of the country she’s mostly avoided since 2008, conspicuously not setting foot in early presidential state New Hampshire at all during her two book tours and her 2010 tea party campaign swings. Now, however, with her luster dimmed and her national relevance in question, she has chosen to venture into the belly of the beast.

“There’s no doubt in my mind the northeast is the least favorable area of the country to Sarah Palin,” said Terry Madonna, a longtime Pennsylvania pollster and analyst who directs the Center for Politics and Public Affairs at Franklin & Marshall College. “But she has to show she can broaden her appeal. She can’t just go to where she’s already won voters.”

1. Boston to Washington (perhaps now Richmond)
is aligned with the west coast against right wingers.

3. Her "unfavorables" are sky high
as I understand it. And not just in the northeast U.S.

6. No, she's enemies with "all of them", but she can't name any of them.

5. I'll bet she'll 'quit' the bus tour before she gets to those states.

Wait and see. Especially if she gets criticized during the tour. It's not like FOX where she's protected.

7. Maybe her water will break and she'll have to fly back to Alaska to have another grandchild.

8. I don't really fucking care...she will quit probably mid-tour
because everyone the world over knows Sarah Palin is a LOSER and a QUITTER!

Fuck off Palin, nobody wants you to be in office but the idiots with less then 3 braincells.

9. Our entire political system has become an open joke.
It's nothing but entertainment now. Sarah Palin, Donald Trump... it's all a big gag. The political process seems to be completely divorced from actual policy, as big business controls that no matter who's in office. We just get these intermittent stage shows. It's completely fake, and obviously so, and no one seems to give a shit.

14. She's looking for press, period.
So she goes where she's not wanted, goads some rational people into reacting as any thinking person would to an unbalanced moron, and ups her victim cred.

Then she and Fox Noise blather about it for weeks, and she gets more invites to speak to "Real 'Murricans" at $100K a pop.
