Storms Are Brewing in Your Eyes

It's well known that almost anyone to the left of center isn't a big fan of one Sarah Palin. However, we're certainly not alone in our dislike of this woman. Reports are coming out that many in her own party don't like her either!! In fact, in a Sunday post on Politico.com, "Next for GOP leaders: Stopping Sarah Palin," we're told that

There is rising expectation among GOP elites that Palin will probably run for president in 2012 and could win the Republican nomination, a prospect many of them regard as a disaster in waiting.

Many of these establishment figures argue in not-for-attribution comments that Palin’s nomination would ensure President Barack Obama’s reelection, as the deficiencies that marked her 2008 debut as a vice presidential nominee — an intensely polarizing political style and often halting and superficial answers when pressed on policy — have shown little sign of abating in the past two years.

"There is a determined, focused establishment effort … to find a candidate we can coalesce around who can beat Sarah Palin," said one prominent and longtime Washington Republican. "We believe she could get the nomination, but Barack Obama would crush her."

This sentiment was a nearly constant refrain in POLITICO interviews with top advisers to the candidates most frequently mentioned as running in 2012 and a diverse assortment of other top GOP officials...

This got me to thinking of a song by Jefferson Starship. Entitled "Sara" (without the "h"), some of the lyrics seem very apropos. Aside from the line featured as the title of this post, the one that I thought really summed up the feelings of many of us is "No time is a good time for Sara[h]."

Seems to be a sentiment many people on both sides of the political aisle can agree upon!
