Why is the media so thick regarding Palin?

[brettdale]

Will she or wont she run in 2012?

Of course she is going to.

There is not a doubt in my mind.

You know in a way, I would feel so worruied for the good people in America, but then again it will be kinda funny to
see what would happen to the freepers lifes, if she won.

1. the longer she can keep hanging the carrot out, the more money they will keep sending

[woo me with science]

5. Yup. She will pretend to be considering it for as long as she can,

but she won't actually do it.

She doesn't like to work that hard, and it was humiliating and traumatic for her the first time.

[thunder rising]

2. because we keep talking about her?

[zbdent]

3. The problems is, how can we miss her

when she won't go away?

And the "liberal media" continually gives her a platform?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

4. Thick? She is their wet dream! She's controversial, attractive and by force feeding her

to the public, make her a familiar face, and from there, people feel like they're watching one of their extremely dysfunctional family. That adds up to viewership.

6. "If it bleeds, it leads" -- adapted maxim, anyway

Caribou Barbie may be certifiably nuts but she's a good headline grabber; there's enough people who take her seriously, and plenty more liberals foaming at the mouth from everything little thing that the twit says. She's big money for the yellow press at the moment, partly because of how obsessed people on this board are with her.

7. She'll run and get easily knocked out in the primaries...

...and that will give us another 4 years of her blather until '16.
Rinse, repeat...
