Chris Matthews Cheers On Palin: If She Runs ‘How Does She Lose’ Against GOP Stiffs?

Chris Matthews discussed with Democratic and Republican political strategists Steve McMahon and Todd Harris the possibility of Sarah Palin running for President. While all suggested that she would be a very serious candidate, surprisingly it was Matthews who was most excited for her to run and confident of her chances.

Especially “against four guys, four stiffs” in the Republican primary race, Matthews gushed:

“Doesn’t she win because she’s the only woman in the race, perhaps. She’s the only one with any pizzazz and she’s the only cultural right person. She looks fabulous out on the stump. She’s a great show and the others are not a great show.”

While Harris warned that he thinks Palin is just taking steps to “stoke the fires of speculation,” Matthews tried to convince him otherwise and almost like a campaign spokesman for her, he summarized why she would be a great candidate:

“She is really good . . . she’s fantastic on a stage. When she walks out on that stage there’s something kinetic happening. She looks great, look at her, she’s alive, she’s smiling, she’s doing stuff, she’s moving around. You can’t take your eyes off of what she’s doing.”

Matthews contrasted her public appearances versus her less exciting Fox News interviews and concluded “she needs to get out in the air.” In case it wasn’t apparent already, Matthews admits by the end “of course I want her to run in the worst way.” If for no other reason, it’s likely because Matthews is becoming increasingly aware that he might be bored to tears if he’s stuck with just the current crop of Republicans.

Who could possibly care what this fourth – rate dink thinks ?

Tomorrow : Michelle Bachmann

Monday : Sarah Palin

I hope to god she runs, solely for the comedic value of Dems trying to compliment her and so forth, combined with Republicans subversively trying to bring her down without saying a negative word in public.

Yes, that’s right. If he’s trashing her, it’s because he’s scared. Palin 2012!

Sarah Palin is a king maker. She doesn’t have to run to be the most powerful woman in the free world…she already is!!!

‘How Does She Lose’ Against GOP Stiffs?

She doesn’t. And she won’t lose to the Democratic stiff, Barack Obama.

Yo Chrissy, why don’t you run for office, you sissified girlyboy? All you do is badmouth everyone right of your ‘Tingle’ budy as boring. Have you ever watched your own show, Chrissy ‘Tingles & Thrills’ Matthews? Talk about Borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring. Sheeeeesh Chrissy. lay off the booze during the day and maybe you’ll stop slurring all your words. Maybe get a better fitting set of dentures and you won’t spew spittle all over your guests and our TV screens.

Chrissy, is there one adult that works over there at LSDnbc? I didn’t think so.!!!

Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease let it happen.

What a landslide for Obama. What a barrel of laughs. What a couple of Republican morons (if that isn’t already redundant).

She’s not going to run

A) She’d have to do interviews with people other than the “underground” media
B) Who’s to say she wouldn’t quit halfway through the run, because people are “saying bad things about her”
C) Do they let people run who quit their elected office for no good reason?
D) This would be comedy/disaster of the highest order (aside from Bachman)

Matthews is right in this regard: she would EAT ALIVE every other Con in the competition. And it will be hilarious to watch them either TAKE IT or FIGHT BACK (which would be the EASIEST THING in the world)

If l was T Paw, I’d say “Quick, Sarah. Africa: country or continent?”

HILARITY ENSUES

WILL BE FUNNIER THAN HANGOVER 2!!! n

I think Matthews’ rah-rah on Palin is a veiled wish she gets the GOP nod because of her terrible poll numbers against Obama among all eligible voters. They always have an agenda, those libs.

Well that certainly explains why Chrissy Tingles is very tiny in the brain department.

You know, I am a Pagan and follow The Morrígan, but I do seem to remember the whole “Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s” line. So will you be disappointed to learn that Jesus could give two shits about Donkey’s and Elephants. Perhaps you should lay off that whole political thing when it comes to our elder brother.

Can I ask again?…why are you libturds so afraid of her? not killing babys? lower taxes?…Yea….Bad things
Old Duffer

Chriisie is wanting Palin to run for same reason Carter wanted Reagan to run, and we all know how that little gambit went.

NOTOH, maybe he is getting that old familar tingle up his leg for Palin, after all he said she was profoundly stupid, righ Chris.

THE MYTH OF PALIN’S STUPIDITY

“How exactly did someone who less than two years ago was mired in legal debt, had a family in crises, and was written off politically when she “suddenly” resigned as governor, make millions of dollars, write two best-selling books, lead a political movement that helped take back the Congress, produce a hit documentary series, endure an unprecedented media onslaught, and maintain her presidential viability, all while seemingly having her family now in a great place, if she is remotely dumb?

I doubt we will ever get anyone in the news media to answer that question, but if all Americans were nearly as “stupid” as Sarah Palin, we wouldn’t need to worry about who our next president is, or much of anything else for that matter.”

You joke, but giving birth to Trig is a major reason the left hates her. Abortion is non-negotiable with libs and to have a conservative woman who not only preaches pro-life values but actually walks the walk(as did her daughter) vaults her to the top of their sh-tlist.

Fact: If Obama gets his way. Gas will be at 6 dollars a gallon in 2012 and no one will drive down to vote but the SEIU tax paid buses.

You are right on the money. They hate her because they gave her a “choice” and the stupid woman didn’t take their “choice”. What a bunch of hypocrites. Thus the reason NOW never ever defended her from all the vile ugly comments. NOW pretty much damaged themselves beyond repair. So did Charlie Gibson and so did Couric.

The left saw, they didn’t like – but they couldn’t stand up and be counted. Not in their make-up. They quietly quit supporting Couric until she was finally dispensable.
Just like the “women” on the View yesterday, making a joke out of Schultz’s insult. There is just something so wrong with people not able to call out bad behaviour, no matter who it is, left or right.

Matthews’ credibility, on any political issue, is circling the drain…

Matthews elevated the status of the republican men in the race by referring to them as stiffs….Stiffs are a hell of lot more capable of winning than the loony tunes asswipes in the race right now….Limps would be much more an appropriate description of pawlenty, cain,romney paul and santorum

Hey Michelle….Don’t you have anything better to do than post here? Like telling me to lay off chocolate?
Snidely

Just because the “front runners” are stiffs ( I prefer “empty suits”), doesn’t mean there aren’t good campaigners in there. Gary Johnson is a live wire, as is Herman Cain. If/when Michelle Bachmann gets in, she can electrify a crowd. The field isn’t limited to Romney, Pawlenty, Santorum and Daniels (who is already out).

Ooooohhhhhh, I have tingles.

“Senator Harry Reid, the Democratic majority leader, apologized on Saturday for once predicting that Barack Obama could become the country’s first black president because he was “light-skinned” and had “no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”

Oh well, we all know that demorcats are racist.

If you do not believe me, ask me!?

I hear the GROWL of the MAMMA GRIZZLY. Come on and run Sarah. We love you. What is Chris Matthews and all the libs at PMSNBC so afraid about? Maybe because she could actually beat Obama.

That makes no sense. Obama wouldn’t do too good with very high gas prices.

I wish I were as stupid as Sarah Palin, I could then be as popular as her, as rich as her and talked about by the likes of Chrissy Mathews as her.

Oh well, I guess the same thing was said about Reagan right?

Gas will only go up as long as people keep paying for it. It goes down when sales go down. Care to educate me on how directly Obama’s hand will affect it?
