Bob Cesca: The Perfect Storm That Could Elect Sarah Palin

Bob Cesca: The Perfect Storm That Could Elect Sarah Palin:

"If Palin is going to win, her grotesquely obvious negatives will have to be spun as 'presidential.' That's a long road to travel, but it's entirely possible. Just look at the ever-lengthening roster of zombie opposite-day lies floating around.

Death panels are still a thing, even though lingering Republican experiments in healthcare are killing people (sorry, 'both sides are insane' hipsters, but this is absolutely true and Alan Grayson was right). Or how basic high school level economics and math indicating that an extension of the Bush tax rates won't stimulate economic growth is attacked as 'liberal math.' Or how the public option was unpopular even though it was wildly popular. Or how President Obama's has a terrible record on jobs even though more jobs have been created during his term than were created during all eight years of the Bush administration. Or how President Obama is ballooning the deficit even though he's responsible for the single largest one-year reduction in the deficit -- ever ($122 billion!)."
