Karl Rove: Sarah Palin's Iowa Trip 'Smart,' But She's 'Got A Problem' With Democrats & Independents

The Hill:

GOP strategist Karl Rove doesn't think Sarah Palin's reality show will earn her any points for a presidential run, but said Friday that putting three of her 16 book tour stops in Iowa is "a smart thing to do."

Rove shouldn't be thinking with his McCain.

Rove has bodies buried. The IT guy McConnel died on his way to testify that Karl fraudulently rigged the 2004 election. He needs to be prosecuted for it before Palin starts falling victim to his manipulations.

Have you forgotten Bush yet? Are you ready for Bush III yet? Make no mistake, Jeb is waiting in the wings (or behind the Bush if you will). The question is not whether Jeb Bush will run, but whether he will run in 2012 or 2016. If you think for a second that the GOP regrets having picked Sarah Palin as their VP candidate in 2008, please think again. Sarah Palin has done and continues to do exactly what the GOP hoped she would do; She created a lot of noise and shifted the focus of the media and the American people away from Bush. As by design, Palin has become the far-right alternativ e to the "far-left" President Obama. She WILL run for president in 2012. She may be delusional enough to think she can win. The GOP knows she will not. Palin will rightfully be viewed as a ring-wing fringe candidate. President Obama will wrongfully be painted as a socialist. They will be painted as opposite extremes. And that's when Jeb will come out of hiding as the centrist, common sense candidate. Jeb Bush, the two term Governor of Florida. Jeb Bush, the faux "Hispanic" candidate, who speaks fluent Spanish and whose wife was born in Mexico. The dumbed-dow n, gullible American voters will once again vote against their best interests and elect a member of the Bush mafia to the highest office in the land. Make no mistake, I hope I'm wrong.

"She's got a problem with independents and a problem with Democrats, and over the course of the next year, like all of the Republican candidates, she's got to demonstrate that she has an ability to unify the Republicans and reach outside the Republican ranks," Rove said.

can this be said of any of the current Rs in national office? who among them has displayed the least tendency to reach across the aisle, let alone "outside the Republican ranks," and lived to tell about it?

She's got a problem with people who have more than half a brain.

Palin has "got a problem with Democrats and Independents" Hmmmmm.

Well, that is because most of them are not brain-dead enough the snake oil she's saying. Tea Partiers buy it by the case load.

Sarah has made her contempt for liberals, minorities, gays, and feminists quite clear. However, I don't think she cares. She thinks she can win the Presidency with JUST the Tea Party votes - she's THAT st.u.pid!!!

I think she has no intent of winning the nomination, I think she intends to run and then bow out giving her support to whichever candidate promises her the most.

Has Sarah Palin shown us any skill beyond that of a high school put-down artist?

Seriously, what else does she bring to the table?
