Sarah Palin in 2012

After this past week I think it is safe to say that the media can stop covering Sarah Palin like she is a potential presidential candidate in 2012. Void of the fact that the polls show her to only be slightly more popular than Congress, she is not presidential. She has not shown the intelligence required to lead the most powerful country in the world and she fails at every turn to show any real political acumen. At this point Sarah Palin is just another Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck.

Given this the media no longer needs to cover her like she has anything important to say. They don't fall all over themselves to show the latest comments by the other conservative talk show hosts so why do it for Palin. If people want to know what Sarah Palin thinks they are free to find her on any of the vast social media outlets that she participates in for her self promotion. If this is not already in the works I think the American people should boycott any media outlet that continues to feature Sarah Palin talking points as news or relevant.

Having said that, I urge all of my Republican friends to vote for Sarah Palin when the primaries start next year. She will be a disaster as a candidate and a disaster for the entire conservative community. As a Liberal I would like nothing more than to see an Obama - Palin debate. That would be the greatest mismatch since Mike Tyson fought Robin Givens.
