Some might think that a Palin endorsement might hurt more than help, but I submit that the Bielat campaign knows how to count.

Joe you didn’t just say Palin would have been more electable staying in Alaska?

It’s my first full day home and first full night sleep since my 5 state trek covering congressional elections and what do I hear when I get to see morning joe from practically the start? A memorable line from Joe Scarborough:
He said Sarah Palin although she has made money would have been better off staying in Alaska when it comes to electability.
Joe Joe Joe…
Did you happen to notice who was fighting against this administration when everyone else was saying they had to give into the Obama wave?
Did you happen to notice who has been pushing the tea party movement that is responsible for what his going to happen in this election?
Have you actually looked at home many candidates are going to get elected this year who are Sarah Palin republicans?
Joe I love you man but you guys have a huge blind spot when it comes to Sarah Palin and when you say this kind of thing it may appeal to the MSNBC base but it has no relation to objective reality.
As for polls tell me where Barack Obama was in the polls in Dec 2006 for president.
Maybe it’s just me but it doesn’t take the brightest blub in the house…

…to figure out that Sarah Palin might be running for president in 2012.
Yeah it’s not official until it’s announced. Neither is Mitt Romney’s (nobody is calling him coy).
I’ve read the post in question and I’ve read the e-mail and everybody is making a whole not of fuss about something that looks like a whole lot of nothing to me.
Yeah someone leaked an e-mail, yeah supporters of her rivals for the nomination might be trying to hurt Palin’s chances and yeah if I’m Todd Palin I’m pissed off at his friend who dissed his wife.
But this is no more of a bombshell than the idea that you might not want to sit next to my brother after he has a large Mexican meal.
The fact that this is the top story on Memeorandum does say this: If Sarah Palin announces for the republican nomination she is the defacto front-runner. Democrats ought to be damn scared but some republican establishment types are more scared.
Why? Because she means it!

For your discussion and debate #1 Some poll results are more permanent than others
Looking at current polls. Obama is shown in poll with only 40% or so believing he deserves re-election. Joe points out in perspective saying that his polls were comparable with Clinton 2004 & Reagan 1982, can’t make this the last word…
…then in the same poll Obama is shown beating Sarah Palin in a 2012 match up and the Same Joe Scarborough touts this as more proof that she can sell books but can’t be elected and Mika breathes a sigh of relief.
My take: How is one poll a snapshot of time and the other set in stone? Joe’s point about the president is right but it applies equally to Sarah Palin. How was Reagan polling in 1978 for example?
For your discussion and debate #2 Some stories are more relevant than others
Colbert took his act to SNL The comedy connection a congressional hearing on Friday and Mika’s reaction indicates she found it just as appealing and appropriate as leading the day’s news with Paris Hilton. Her comment was classic: “Who are these people who are the 21% that approve of congress?” Mark Halperin pointed out Pelosi & Hoyer disagreed on the appearance noting that this should be a bigger story….
…yet there was not a word about the other Friday Hearings on the air DOJ RACISM SCANDALS made the Washington Post front page but as of 7:08 Morning Joe hasn’t touched it. I submit that this is not coincidence. I think democrats wanted that coverage off of TV and as far as Morning Joe goes, that’s exactly what they’ve got. As John Nolte put it: Mission Accomplished.
My Take: I know they had their education day scheduled for a while but I’d like to see Mika decide for the 8 a.m. hour to lead with Christopher Coates testimony instead of Colbert a-la Paris. She has 45 minutes. Will she do it?
