Sarah Palin has officially been named Conservative of the Year for 2008!

Ann Coulter has a great article in Human Events (http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=29995) about Palin, the award and the 2008 campaign. Below are three non-consecutive paragraphs from the article, selected to give you an idea of what the article is about.


I assume Palin was chosen because McCain had heard that she was a real conservative and he had always wanted to meet one -- no, actually because he needed a conservative on the ticket, but that he had no idea that picking her would send the left into a tailspin of wanton despair.


Despite their phony championing of “women’s issues” (i.e. abortion) there was not one Democrat woman who could win a head-to-head contest with Palin. Especially not if we got to see their faces. Democrats may have a fleet of women politicians, but they don’t have a deep bench of attractive ones. You don’t even think of most Democratic woman as women: Rosa Delauro, Nita Lowey, Patty Murray, Janet Napolitano -- and the list goes on. Oh, sure, there are the odd female Democrat sex kittens -- your Janet Renos, your Donna Shalalas -- but they're the exception to the rule.


Palin was a kick in the pants, she energized conservatives, and she made liberal heads explode. Other than his brave military service, introducing Sarah Palin to Americans is the greatest thing John McCain ever did for his country.

Wanton despair? :wtf:

More like elated confusion.

One of the criteria for nomination is that you be a real person and not a vehicle for a protracted satire on conservatives.

... which explains Ann Coulter's ineligibility.

A new poll shows (http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/2008-12-25-admire-poll_N.htm) that Palin is the second most admired person in the country, behind Hillary Clinton and ahead of Oprah. I still say there's a very good chance Palin will be the Republican nominee in 2012.

Edit: The poll was actually about the most admired woman, not the most admired person. Thanks to the person who e-mailed me the correction.

If Palin gets nominated in 2012 I'm leaving the Republican party. There would be no hope for them at that point.

Actually, if Obama does well in his first term, 2012 is the perfect year for a throwaway candidate.
