Taylor Marsh, once again, has another bash at Palin and in doing so abrogates any right to be considered a journalist-but certainly she qualifies as a "journolist" the cabal of media writers who worked to elect Obama in 2008.
Marsh comments on Kelly Ayotte being possibly considered as a running mate for Romney;"So, a qualified woman finally appears amid all the pasty white males considered on the short list, with many political insiders believing Sen. Marco Rubio’s baggage would be just too much for Team Mitt."
Clearly
Marsh's whole attitude is that since her inamorata Hillary did not
become president some other woman should. Her reason is so feminista
skewed that journalism flies out the window in the process. Firstly, Rubio is an Hispanic and, especially as he lives in Florida would
not be considered "pasty white" as
if skin color is an indicator of capability-I thought Martin Luther
King had put that to rest.
But
Marsh is so determined that sex trumps qualifications, after all
what experience has
Ayotte actually had to be an heartbeat away from the presidency, that
she actually overcomes her prejudice against conservative, right to
life, Christian women
to push for Ayotte to be amongst those considered.
Secondly, Marsh
has no way of knowing who is on the short list, which deliberations
others in the media have commented on as being highly
secretive. Susana Martinez has been bandied about which seems
to have escaped Marsh. She writes;
"Obviously,
her politics aren't mine, as I could never vote for a woman
who’s against my own individual freedoms and right to
self-determination, but then I'm a liberal, not a religious
conservative."
And
then she segue's into her hobby horse, bashing Sarah Palin.
"Conservative
women have been silent on the importance of getting past Sarah
Palin’s disastrous vice presidential run. It’s one of the least
reported and written about realities of the 2012 race, with the only
one I know having mentioned it regularly being yours truly"
The explanation why Marsh is the only one mentioning this theme is that it is so preposterous and discredited no journalist of repute would say such a silly thing.

Look
Ms Marsh, try, really give it, non-prejudicial analysis, a try.
Palin's vice-presidential run was not "disastrous" it
did not cost McCain the presidency, it has not made the
selection of women more difficult. The reality Taylor
is it is the male campaign managers for McCain who have distorted the
truth to cover their ineptitude. But don't take my word for it as a
mere male-here below, yet again, are the unvarnished facts
from the exits polls and the common sense explanations as
to why McCain's campaign, not Palin's was so disastrous.
Here are the facts;
(By the way, it was Hillary's campaign that was 'disastrous" her losing to a basically little know junior senator)
(By the way, it was Hillary's campaign that was 'disastrous" her losing to a basically little know junior senator)
When they start apportioning the blame to the real people responsible for it – McCain’s team and Game Change authors – the schadenfreude will be palpable.
The left’s
theme that Palin cost McCain votes is totally refuted by independent
exit poll analysis by the likes of CNN. This sudden
discovery that perhaps the 2008 disaster was not Palin’s fault has
other reasons for surfacing from the MSM then some new regard
for Palin – far from it.
It is being slowly puffed
up so as to tie Romney to McCain along the lines of “the GOP
is nominating someone who lost to the last one they nominated, and
who ran a disastrous campaign." Thus, shifting the blame from
Palin to McCain and his team will be part of the Dem's campaign
effort.
This
is all to the good, as Palin has survived the onslaught, and when
Romney ceases to be “the party leader until November,” as
Mitch McConnell said today, the meme she caused the 2008
defeat will have been discarded and discredited by its own creators
as she moves towards 2016.
Because it suited the MSM/left to denigrate Sarah Palin whilst she was viewed as a possible threat to President Obama’s re-election chances, the prevailing meme has been that it was Palin’s “disastrous” selection/campaign that led to McCain’s defeat.
This histrionic myth-making reached its apotheosis in the Hollywood hit piece “Game Change” which followed hard on the heels of the Joe McGinnis hatchet job. The release of both were obviously timed to derail the expected Palin run for the GOP nomination. No doubt there was much cursing by various publishers and producers when Palin decided not to be a candidate.
The Game Change team relied on McCain team gossip and character assassination because it suited their purpose. What it could not do forever was to destroy the obvious facts, no matter how much they shrouded them in leftist malarkey.
As its most basic, the facts are that:
1. Palin lifted McCain ahead of Obama after she was named to the ticket and gave her convention speech.
2. Palin made the obvious point that candidate Obama had little legislative experience, no business experience and no foreign affairs experience and had associations with a number of disreputable characters and a history of drug taking.
3. Nobody really knew anything about him, and what was allowed to escape through the “journolist” conspiracy leftist media was quickly shunted off the front page or not discussed at all. Even Jimmy Kimmel questioned this recently – ”how did we miss this”. (In 2008, Obama’s own book discussed his eating dog meat).
4. The McCain team and McCain lost the election, not Palin, as this obvious comment states:
“She would have led the Republicans to victory had it not been for the September financial collapse and McCain’s disastrous decision to suspend his campaign so that he could vote for the TARP bailout in Washington.”
Here is an analysis from the commentator ZH100 at Conservatives4Palin followed by the actual post-2008 analysis, which shows the positive effect Palin had in spite of the disastrous efforts by the McCain personnel and McCain’s lacklustre efforts under their guidance.
From the article:
‘The Truth HBO’s ‘Game Change’ Hides: Palin Carried McCain Until He Changed the Game’ (by Joel B. Pollak)
“I briefly served as a volunteer speechwriter on the McCain-Palin campaign in 2008. I was never part of the inner circle, and even if I had “dirt” to dish, I wouldn’t dare violate the confidentiality agreement I signed – even though that hasn’t stopped some former McCain campaign aides from publicly blaming Gov. Sarah Palin for everything that went wrong.
But here’s the truth about the McCain-Palin campaign, which HBO’s upcoming “Game Change” film attempts to shroud in fanciful anti-Palin fiction: Palin carried the campaign.
She would have led the Republicans to victory had it not been for the September financial collapse and McCain’s disastrous decision to suspend his campaign so that he could vote for the TARP bailout in Washington.
After the bailout vote, support for the Republican ticket collapsed. “
From the article:
‘Palin comparison’
At Circo, following HBO’s “Game Change,” an operative involved in Sarah Palin’s heady VP-maybe days, said:
“McCain’s keepers, bald, smoking, hating her, couldn’t deal with a woman candidate. A Christian who needs to pray had no one to pray with. Separated from family, she was kept in her room. A runner who does five miles a day locked in a room!”
