    I think it all stems from the bitterness that came to a boil when the Bush-Gore election was so narrowly decided. I'm just guessing, but I'd imagine that no president in history has ever had to start with such a low approval rating and doubting the validity of a President's standing. Couple that with Rove's strategy, and you have the recipe for the most polarizing politics in history.

    American Politics are the most shameful part of America. I'm a damn proud American, but I'm not in the slightest bit proud of our current Political environment. To the contrary, I'm quite embarrassed.

    I'm not sure what's worse... reading a Wild Cobra post or a boutons post.

    The field continues to underwhelm and the electorate has never been more receptive to faux populism (within my lifetime, anyway.)
    It's a mistake for people to underestimate her.

    Bill Clinton on Palin: ‘Resilient,’ Like Me, Don’t ‘Underestimate’ Her

    Former president Bill Clinton had words of warning for Democrats who think Sarah Palin could be the best thing to happen to President Obama in a 2012 presidential bid – “It’s always a mistake to underestimate your opponent.”

    “In the Republican primaries she’s very popular with the conservative base. She gets more people to come out,” he told me. “And she hasn’t won all of her endorsements, but she’s won most of them. And you know, she’s a compelling, attractive figure.”

    I sat down with the former president as he kicked off the sixth annual Clinton Global Initiative. Palin, who recently made a high profile trip to Iowa, was the subject of Mark Halperin’s “One Nation” column Monday. I asked Clinton to react to Halperin’s take on the former Alaska governor that “Most of all, she is like Bill Clinton: what doesn’t kill Sarah Palin makes her stronger.”

    Clinton laughed and then offered his own observations.

    “I do think she’s a resilient character. And we may be entering a sort of period in politics that’s sort of fact free, where the experience in government is a negative,” he told me.

    “I think she’s clearly a public figure who is, who speaks well and persuasively to the people who listen to her. And she’s somebody to be reckoned with,” he said. “And she’s tough.”

    Clinton recalled when “people were making fun of her” he read about Palin’s husband finishing the last 500 miles of Alaska’s Iron Dog race with a broken arm.

    “Now, where I come from people like that. They think that’s pretty good,” he said.

    So is she qualified to be president? Clinton said the “American people can elect whomever they want.”

    “But [she] served, you know, not a full…term as governor, and she went out and did this. We don’t even know if she’s going to run for President,” he said.

    pitbull is un-"underestimated" by the polls to have about 4% approval, and for a couple years now, even in Alaska, disapproval of around 50%.

    and above, she doesn't have the Repug party and big donors behind her, are mostly against her.

    If she's not hot then why are you fantasizing about having sex with her?

    Because I'd like to hear her scream "Obama" as she is getting plowed. And say "drill baby drill!"

    Good article. Too bad the media focuses on controversy rather than the message.

    Well, the article is from the NY Times. That would be "the media", IIRC.

    It's surprising the they would point out some valid points! They do right sometimes, just not normally.

    Palin is as well financed by the power brokers as any candidate of any party.

    And Romney is saying he's an outsider, never been part of the inherited-wealth plutocracy and criminal financial sector.

    These assholes make fools of themselves much more than they take us for fools.
