Chambliss: Palin 'allowed us to peak'

Anybody think the MSM will say this?  Don't hold your breath.  I actually doubt if Fox News Cannel will mention it.


Chambliss: Palin 'allowed us to peak'

Fresh off his runoff victory Tuesday night, Georgia Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss credited Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin with firing up his base.

“I can't overstate the impact she had down here,” Chambliss said during an interview Wednesday morning on Fox News.

“When she walks in a room, folks just explode,” he added. “And they really did pack the house everywhere we went. She's a dynamic lady, a great administrator, and I think she's got a great future in the Republican Party.”

Chambliss said that after watching her campaign on his behalf at several events Monday, he does not see her star status diminishing within the party.

The Republican also thanked John McCain and the other big name Republicans that came to Georgia, but said Palin made the biggest impact.

“We had John McCain and Mike Huckabee and Gov. Romney and Rudy Giuliani, but Sarah Palin came in on the last day, did a fly-around and, man, she was dynamite,” he said. “We packed the houses everywhere we went. And it really did allow us to peak and get our base fired up.”

But as Chambliss heaped praise on Palin and other big-ticket Republicans that came to Georgia on his behalf, he questioned why President-elect Barack Obama would not use his star power to aid his Democratic opponent Jim Martin.

“I have no idea why he didn't come down,” Chambliss said.

“His people were here. His organization was here,” he added. “They really did a good job in the general election of turning out people. And whatever their game plan was this time, if he had been here, I have no idea whether it would have worked better.”

Give her four years to polish her act, to adjust her message. She will be more formidable.

To a lot of people, that won't matter.  They will listen to the MSM's cheap shots and believe it.

It'll matter to the people that matter. 

Simply put, politics belongs to the people who show up.  Palin gets people to show up.

No amount of mindless MSM-deluded sheeple can overpower a solid, active, energized political base.

Think about the recent election.  McCain was the darling of the great unwashed middle ground.  He was right where the MSM said he should be, going after the spineless independent, undecided voters.  McCain lost soundly.  The only time McCain had a lead was right after he announced Palin for veep, when had her take center stage at the convention.  For a few days he had a solid, energized, active base.  But then McCain buried Palin, took her out of the spotlight.  The activism and excitement withered, his lead evaporated.

Yep. McCain is the New York Times' kind of so-called "Republican." It's no accident he was beloved by the national leftist extremist so-called "news" media.

Yall don't run no candidate, yall ain't gonna win no elections. Hard to figure out, ain't it?
