Palin is top 100 most influential of ‘08

Sarah Palin is a Republican's dream

Sarah Palin is a Republican's dream

Time Magazine has named Sarah Palin number 79 on a list of the 100 most influential people of 2008.

Palin was nominated as running-mate for Republican candidate John McCain in the 2008 U.S. National Election.

Palin, a 45 year old mother of five breathed life into what was a spluttering campaign for McCain who was facing a landslide defeat of historic proportions before selecting his running-mate.

Sarah Palin made the Republican party more attractive, particularly among women; she even attracted some previously Democratic voters whose first allegiance was to Hillary Clinton.

The effect had on the election by Sarah Palin’s inclusion should not be overlooked and, if the Republicans had won, she may have gone down as the most influential VP of all time.  Sadly for Palin though, the election belonged to Barack Obama and his Democrats, leaving Palin struggling for the recognition she deserved.

Despite the eventual and inevitable failure of the Republican bid in 2008, Sarah Palin remains a revered personality within America’s conservative ranks. Palin continues to represent the Republican Party as the governor of Alaska and will remain one of the most popular politicians in the country amongst Republican voters.

  1. Good Luck Sara, Hope what ever u do it will knock down the Dems.

  2. I surport her now and as long as she is in the public eye….She has a right to stand up for what she belives in.

  3. Yep, I sure do agree about her being an influential person….she certainly influenced me to change parties. If she represents the Republicans, I would be ashamed if people thought I had her point of view.

  4. sure, she has an influence on same idiots like herself.
    But no one could predict idiots, so who knows, where they would move to get the next influancive idiot.
    Joe not-plumber?

    That what who lives in the world of Idiots.

  5. I support you all the way Sara. You have my vote for president

  6. i love you. go girl go.

  7. I agree with Palin 99% of the time!

  8. Just wanted you to know you are supported by many Americans. May God Bless You, he/she is also on your side.

  9. Like many Americans I moved to USA from former USSR, country that fell apart in front of my eyes in a short time.Just talking will no longer cut it, we need to do something about it. Any suggestions??

  10. I would love to team up with you and help put America back on track. There are many of us who feel this administration has lost touch of what America was built on, and stands for. My question now as the polls are dropping low in the current admin’s favour .. is how do all the people who voted for him like their CHANGE so far … what ever happened to the promises he made? The old proverb of careful what you wish for, you may just get it, comes to play here! Next step is for states to leave the union. Lets vote the head nodders out of congress this year.

  11. You have my support Sara. Please stay active with the party and we will re-take the White House in 2012.

  12. hey go Sara in 2012

  13. good luck sara, i hope you run for president, pick condoleeza rice as your running mate and you should win.

  14. Sara you are a breath of fresh air. I support you all the way. Please stay with the party they really need you and many others just like you to win the white house back.

  15. we need more people like you to stand up for all our rights and make the goverment get out of our lifes too.we aren’t there s to do with,we belong to our own LORD.

  16. Sara,

    Hope you take the time to actually learn about the real issues. You cannot continue trying to BS your way through foriegn policy, economic issues, how the Federal Govenrmnet actually wokrs and other very basic criteria. If you ever become part of the ticket you will lose cause our party to substancially push the independents away from the party. Sure the religious right and various other conservative groups will go crazy for you. This means nothing because they will vote are way no matter what.

    You do not appeal to very many people that are not already strongly Republican. You will a actually help Obama. The woman vote will still be split between party lines and the young independent voters will stay with the Democrates the more you actually speak about real issues. Hidding out on social networking websites and appearing on Fox News does nothing to influence independents. We will not take the country back without them.

    Do the party a favor and do not continue to speak on our behalf. Sell books, paid speeches and low key fundraising. We need to win and cannot do it if you and some other continue to horrify people in the middle. Obama is in trouble and having a clearly incompetent party leader like you destroys our ability to grow disheartened populous beyond those that are already in our camp.

    I am a vetran, business owner and a Rebublican. I voted for Obama beacuse after listening to speak after the convention I realized that you were nothing more than a desperate political manuever which I could have lived with. But you are so completely under educated, inarticulate, irrational and not qualified for the office that I was forced to vote against a man I respect and admire.

    Right leaning Independent.

  17. Dear Sara,

    This is my first time getting into twitter. Thank you. I feel quite obsolite with computers, but just the chance to write here and the possibility that you could read it, made me strong to search the computer and post my opinion.
    I believe You are an honest person. And, I admired that. ALso, that you have tolerated so many thugs that are so jelous of you or have so much envy that try to put you down. My father once told me, when you are doing a good job. People that are nothing or jelous, will talk bad about your work. The honest and honorable will give you advice. If those that are bad talkers do not kill you with it, will talk bad about your personal life, if with that they do not eliminate you, they will talk bad about your family. And, If that is not able to destroy you, then they will leave you alone.
    Keep going girl, be confident that God has a function for you in this life.

  18. My Dad is your #1 fan. He lives in Wasilla and has done some work for as a landscape architect when you were mayor of the city. He has had a crush on you for a long time! If you figure out who it is (I can’t publish his name), please DON’T tell him I posted this or he’ll kill me!

  19. Sara I love what you do to liberals. Your driving them crazy, they wish so much you were one of them. You have everything Sara and your driving them nuts. Also I see some of the trash that has attached it’s self to the Republican party is changing party’s, how great is that. Like Brad the phony Republican (so he say’s,) I hope you get rid of all of those usefull idiots for the Socialist Party. God Bless you and your family and keep the strength what a blssing it would be if you were the President of the U.S.A.

  20. I think you are the only one that can save us we are in trouble. A leader like you is what the country needs Let me know when you will be in Atlanta for your book signing. I do hope you run for the presidental in 2012 my husband and myself will be there to vote for you. You are the only one that can save the country.Please keep up you’r compain to keep us safe. Georgia is counting on you.. HELP

    Joy in Atlanta, Georgia
