With more than 875,000 fans following her political commentary closely on Facebook, Sarah Palin trails only President Barack Obama as the most popular politician on the social networking site. She has gained 60,000 new followers since we reported her soaring popularity exactly four weeks ago today. Amazingly, she is expanding her high-profile posture in political debates armed only with a notebook computer and an Internet connection.
Palin has used her Facebook page to comment on health care, energy policy, and tort reform. She’s also highlighted other causes, such the celebration of Constitution Day and the commemoration of the eighth anniversary of the 911 terrorist attacks.
Meanwhile, as the audience of the so-called mainstream media slips into statistical insignificance and the circulation of left-leaning printed media plummets, President Obama has pledged to do the Sunday political talk show circuit on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and even Univision.
In stark contrast, talk radio, Fox News, and Sarah Palin have been growing record audiences of fiscal conservatives (independents, libertarians, and republicans) who are concerned about big government growth. Clearly, conservative media outlets are presenting a message that resonates with the once silent majority.
Moreover, most media outlets have downplayed the huge attendance in the 912 March on DC. Was it 10,000? Was it 75,000? 1.2 million? 1.7 million? 2 million? For President Obama and his “mainstream media”, it must be like arguing over exactly how many drops of water are in the tidal wave that is bearing down on you! But, of course, if you oppose big government growth, you must be a “racist”, “a right-wing terrorist”, or a “member of an angry mob”.

She is kicking butt. She has to make President Obama gritt his teeth. The press can’t touch her because she has already been spit on by them and they have wiped their feet all over her and her family. She is now in a position to use her little ole notebook computer, her very bright brain, and just pummel President Obama. She may be considered a light weight, as far as the scuz in D.C. is concerned, but she is going to clean their clock. Because of the way the press has treated her, the American people love her. She is just a little ole private citizen with an upper cut that can knock the most powerful man in the world rigth on his donkey!
Yeah, BUT alot of the FB minions are people just having a laugh…anybody can get on, and they do, they want to SEE what is happening. It´s being reported in the news so they go and LOOK.
Letterman has 4 and half million viewers, but that is people who actually sit there and WATCH because they are entertained. The FB people are entertained too, not taking Plain seriously, just ENTERTAINED.
That´s the way it IS.
I mean c´mon it´s FB, it´s not a serious political podium.
….ALSO TOO, FACEBOOK has ANTI-PALIN sites and the number is much higher then Palin´s Friend page…..
Basically, Palin QUIT. You can make all the excuses in the world for her, but that is what will stick now. Even if she made it to the debates, her opponant will say, Well, Mrs. Palin QUIT, END OF STORY.
Maybe she WAS the governor of Guam, but she QUIT. Her political record is being the mayor of a meth ridden strip mall called Wasilla now.
What did she do in in 2009, OH MRS. PALIN LEARNED TO USE CHOPSTICKS.
Why
is she still collecting donations anyway???
Palin should have gone back to Alaska and worked hard like TRUE well wishers said, instead of the crazy people just keep making up her excuses for her. You do her NO SERVICE by doing this, not everyone is crazy, we SEE what you are doing. No one is scared of her, they are creeped out by HER and the lugnuts that keep on making excuses for her. The process is fascinating.
Even Ted Kennedy didn´t quit when they were calling him a MURDERER, he just STAYED THERE and worked. He got more things passed then any other guy or woman, because he just kept on and didn´t listen to what was being said.
Called a murderer? he was a murderer, not only of Mary Jo he also helped murder millions of babies with his support of abortion.
It was amazing that Obama was forced to respond to her death panel statement. That comment really stuck in their side like thorn. Palin was the one who made the need for tort reform an issue as well. Her haters swear Palin isn’t important, but why is she still being discussed as a 2012 candidate. Try as they have, the only person that will decide when Sarah Palin is over in politics will be Sarah Palin herself. I can’t believe how in the world that John McLame has over 500,000 face book followers. To me, that is the real story.
Tyrone: The bulk of McCain’s FB friends signed on during the election cycle. It is worth noting that he is actually losing fans … the only one in the data group.
Whether you like Palin or dislike her … whether you agree or disagree with her quitting the governorship … it is clear that she has a powerful voice in the conservative political arena.
