Paige Albiniak at Broadcasting & Cable magazine says Sarah Palin should scratch this goal off her career-ideas list: "Fabulous Host of Her Own Syndicated Talk Show." Anonymous syndicators tell her that Palin's unskilled, her audience is too narrow, and she’s too polarizing:
A survey of syndicators reveals that they believe that Palin, while certainly mediagenic, "does not have the skills," "appeals to too narrow of an audience" and overall is too polarizing. Not one syndicator indicated a whiff of interest in doing a show with her.
And it’s not because Sarah’s a Republican with a capital R. Many American women share her identification as a Republican, Christian and conservative, and these women want to watch other women like themselves on TV.
"If I could get Elizabeth Hasselbeck out of her contract at The View, I would do it in two seconds," said one syndicator. "I would never invest in Sarah Palin. For me, the fact that she resigned as the governor of Alaska means she’s a quitter. She now has no chance."
How would resigning an office mean there's "no chance" at a TV show? That reads more like a disgruntled liberal than someone talking shop about television. Why would syndicators leap to broadcast Ellen DeGeneres campaigning for gay marriage, but Palin's "too polarizing" to consider? Albiniak continued:
More likely, syndicators speculated, if Palin does have a TV career ahead of her, it will be as a commentator on a cable news network. And let’s be honest: that cable news network would likely be Fox News (although of course we would love to see Palin go head-to-head with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow). The question, says one cable news network executive, is "does she want to have a political future or not? If she does, then it makes sense for her to write the book, get paid for speeches, assist other candidates’ campaigns and maybe appear as a commentator."

Mr. Obama (the President of the United States) did not quit the US Senate to run for higher office.
The television experts quoted in this story are providing their respective professional opinions. You may not agree with them, based on your extensive knowledge of the industry. But these are not political opinions - this is business.
Look at the shows on television today. Is it not obvious - even to you - the most important criterion is "what will make us the most money?"
Of these people thought for a New York minute they could make money from a show featuring Gov. (soon to be x-, of course) they would book her. They would book Atilla the Hun if he could draw viewers.

July 13, 2009 - 16:38 ET by Dan The Man 2Frankie, you are most likely more right, Duh One did not quit because he would have to had been there and active in the Senate to quit. He was just collecting a check and campaigning from day one to be President of the USA. I sure with the USA had a President right now, we could sure use one.

If you guys were as smart as you claim, you would know that there are fifty seperate state elections for president, hence the Electoral College, but why should facts get in the way of a good way to destroy the character of a good person. Obama is not an American by natural birth, he is a no good Communist, and he doesn't have half the intellectual capacity of President Bush! He can give a great speech as long as the prompter keeps rolling. Hes an actor and really belongs in Hollywood. The only problem is they'd need one hundred tele-prompters because he can't memorize lines. Sarah Palin speaks without notes and from the heart, not from the Communist Manifesto as Commisar TeleMessiah does!

"Television is a freak show" Bernie Goldberg
History. The Dismal Science. Logistics.
July 14, 2009 - 18:53 ET by UnsaneWhere is the gas to fill it? Constantly shot back into the ground. One, having lived there, I heard this from people who worked on the North Slope. Two, Walter R. Borneman makes repeated references to natural gas reserves in Alaska: Saga of a Bold Land, and even National Geographic points this out. Three, across the border in Canada, there are plans to extract the natural gas reserves from there as well.
More to the point, who, at present, owns that gas? Depends on various factors. If offshore, as much of it is (as well as oil deposits), it may be tied up in court much like the tidelands controversy of the late 1940s.
And where are the contracts the State of Alaska will require in order to have gas for that pipeline? You can't have those contracts unless you have a way to get the gas out of the ground and shipped to market. The great metropolis of Kaktovik isn't going to burn it all...and due to the fact that the oil companies nearly got burned by snapping up oil leases from the State of Alaska in 1969 without first figuring out how they would get the oil to market, I imagine they would not want to go through that again.
Seems to me that a smart person, prior to spending hundreds of millions of dollars on natural resources exploitation infrastructure, would secure at least options on those resources. Guess that's just one more pesky detail Gov. Palin didn't find time for...and in your rush to blast Sarah Palin, who I am sure you despise very deeply for daring to breathe in the same atmosphere as you, you forgot to read your history. If you buy the contracts and then get the gas out of the ground and then have no way to get it to market, then it is pretty well worthless.
Study some history. Some economics. Oh yes, and listen to your logisticians. You MIGHT learn something.

In it she said (emphasis mine), "Our 3,000-mile natural gas pipeline will transport hundreds of trillions of cubic feet of our clean natural gas to hungry markets across America."
The statement implies that when the pipeline is complete, Alaska will be pumping the gas through it.
Now please tell me where is your proof that Alaska does not have any natural gas? Or are you just blowing your own out your posterior?

frank
July 14, 2009 - 19:57 ET by upcountrywaterSome guy who wrote a whack book on Nixon... Some kind of fill in the fake factoids and 5 pages of banter...
read all about it
But the article’s argument doesn’t always mesh with the details. To many readers of Conde Nast’s other publications — The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, GQ — the Republican star Palin is, ipso facto, a villainess. Had Portfolio
run a story that reads, “Palin’s gas-pipeline plan has an element of
risk but could work,” some readers no doubt would have complained that
a previously respectable business magazine had suddenly scrapped its
credibility by serving up a puff piece about the Cruella de Vil of the
liberal imagination. (The cover photo has Palin in the snow in a
fur-collared jacket.) Instead, the Portfolio piece follows a
simple tune: Whatever decisions Governor Palin makes about this
massive, complicated project, she is always wrong.
.......But wait there more......
McGinniss’s article details many potential obstacles to the pipeline — the recession’s impact on Alaska’s budget, BP and ConocoPhillips’s
threat to build a rival pipeline, pipeline builder TransCanada’s desire
for more loan guarantees from the U.S. government — but leaves out
TransCanada’s negotiations
with Native Americans situated along the proposed route. All of this is
good detail, but it erodes the argument that Palin is “the only thing
standing in the way.”

Huckabee is something of a comedian. The format works for him on that level, but is doing nothing for his chances to run in 2012.
We've got a glaring vacancy at the top of the conservative agenda. I'd appreciate Sarah Palin campaigning for these goals, clarifying these goals, and articulating the benefits of accomplishing these goals.
Romney can do the same, but I'd demand he apologize for ensuring the 50 buck abortion in Massachusetts as well as the Welfare State he advanced and bragged about in that State.
I agree, she is above that
July 13, 2009 - 15:53 ET by RR GOPI agree, she is above that and I don't think she'd do well in that milieu.
Would like to see her more on Fox as some kind of a strategist, but I think she'd embarrass a lot of these RINOs and Sunshine Conservatives they get on there. Also, she would be pretty boring, in a way. I think that her values are so simple and to the point that she wouldn't fill up much air time with her statements. She does herself a disservice when she allows these politicos to manipulate her into saying a whole lot of nothing when a short statement would do.
A true Conservative simply won't sit there and go on and on about how their version of Democrat programs would be handled. That's what these MSM types and Dem pundits keep forcing upon us: "Well, Mr. Republican. How would you nationalize health care? How much taxpayer money would you dump into Liberal programs?"
She has charisma along with beliefs that millions of Americans believe in and I'm hoping that she and whoever she hires to manage her take advantage of that and not screw it up like the McCain idiots did.

Heck Ophra has to give stuff away for her to draw crowds these days. And then there is her grass roots website, perhaps they could look at that. The shows thrive on polarizing.
But, I doubt if she is going to do a show. A show is limiting and gives the enemy too much ammo. She will probably build her rep and knowlege while doing appearances and perhaps some talk shows while writing a book that will be guarenteed to be on the best seller list and get panned by the SCM.
Re quitter
July 13, 2009 - 12:17 ET by slickwillie2001This is a crock: "...says Sarah Palin should scratch this goal off her career-ideas list: 'Fabulous Host of Her Own Syndicated Talk Show.'"
Did she ever say that this was one of her goals? Or did this Paige Albiniak just make that up to write a story around? Why would Palin want to join the liberal media that have abused her for the last year?
Re Palin a quitter, had she stayed on as Governor of Alaska until the time came to start a campaign for President in 2012, the liberals would have claimed that her entire career was in Alaska, 'a minor state' and for that reason she was sheltered from the rest of the country. They would have suggested in that event that she should have run for a lesser national office before running for President. She can't win in this regard, they have something to criticize her on no matter what.
Google
July 13, 2009 - 12:43 ET by doug1950I googled her name, she has a twitter page (of course) along with a photo. She looks to be very young and judging from her comments very liberal as well as full of herself. They must have had to scrape the bottom of the barrel for her comments so put Palin in such a light. This Paige person probably has never been outside CO or had much life's experience. For her to pass this judgement just shows how brainwashed these liberals are. Like many of the Hollywood crowd, they believe it they bash Palin, they get some notoriety and perhaps MSNBC will call and offer her a show so she can join Obie-man and Madcow. Nothing to see here, move along. I got shoes older than this bimbo.

July 13, 2009 - 17:28 ET by needleI thought for a moment about saving Noonan’s idiotic attempt to kiss Sarah Palin goodbye so I could send it back to her after the 2012 election; but I discarded the idea as it would blatantly violate my New Years resolution to have nothing to do with Peggy Noonan.

Re Levi
July 13, 2009 - 19:18 ET by slickwillie2001Just caught a bit of him on Fox News; I don't think he could make sportscaster on the Wasilla TV station, if there is one. He can barely speak. The stupid kid is being used by the old media, just as McCain was, to dredge up anything bad they can think of on Palin.
Syndicated show?

Palin and cable news
July 13, 2009 - 22:23 ET by LindamaePalin is too intelligent to ever want to work with cable - or even main stream media networks - since they are jokes. They lie by ommission or commission. The distort the news. Media bias and innuendo. She could never sell herself to get into the sty with them. As I said, they are a joke and most Americans now know it. First the newspapers lost readership and now it is many of the cable and network shows who have lost viewers. Still, they don't get it. Hitler forced the press to adore him. Chavez has his hours long news shows by his commands. Obama is on every day. Bless the net.

Yes, bal. I'll admit I'm amazed at how utterly successful Obama is in ramrodding his agenda. That doesn't mean I like the results, but he's certainly succeeding at what he said he was going to do to America. I had hoped he would fail at what he's already done.
I don't see how you have time to continue reminding us how much you are unimpressed with Palin while the savior of the Democrat Party is enjoying all this success.

Her performance with Couric: Not impressive. Her announcement that she was quitting: gobbledy-gook dressed up as some kind of home-spun wisdom.

I have a strong Texas accent. Obviously that's a "folksy crutch" too.
But bal? Not so much about Joe from Scranton Pennsylvania. Nothing friggin folksy about that, is there.
Your alleged specifics are more prejudices than anything else.
Gosh, if she had made up a story about a drunk running over her spouse I'll bet you'd be right on it, but since Joe Biden is a man, he can engage in the most hateful, unfounded accusations, and not a peep out of bal.
Sure. You are soooo over her.

July 14, 2009 - 21:41 ET by balboaI don't know who yanked your chain, but all your assumptions are wrong and off-base. Nowhere in what I described about Palin did I say that this was only a female-specific problem, nor did I say that I dislike people from any part of society or value one sector more than another.
And why this preoccupation with being "over" her?

July 14, 2009 - 22:22 ET by general companySo it is safe to say that you also agree with the current Admins spending spree, and the cap and tax, rationed health care, the taking control of our Finical institutions, as well as the Auto industry.
No doubt you also think it would be wise to eliminate Offshore drilling, and Not build any Nuke plants, and crush the Coal industry, all the while ignoring the fact that wind and sun wont get it done.
I think it would also be safe to assume that you think letting terrorist go and exposing our inteligents agencies to threats and intimidation is a good idea also, not to mention trecking around the earth apologising for representing the most compassionate country this World has ever known?
If so,, be nice if you explain to the rest of us what makes any of these policies so good for the American folks. Thanks in advance

July 14, 2009 - 00:30 ET by danebramageThe thing I find hilarious is how these boobs assume that Palin or anybody else would even want to be one of them. Seriously, I don't recall Palin ever asking to be let into the talking heads club. Yet they act like she's out there begging for their approval.
It just shows how incredibly immature and childish modern liberals have become. Today, if you want to know what a lefty will do next, simply ask yourself, "What would an eighth-grader do?"

July 14, 2009 - 01:04 ET by gopcongressI think Maddow is the LAST person who wants to go head to head with the Baracuda. The fact that she routinely comes in THIRD to Fox and CNN speaks volumes; wait until she has to face a competitor that outdrew the Bamster during the convention speeches (based on network coverage rations). Let's face it: EVERY network would give it's right pitootie to nab Sarah Palin AT THIS TIME.
But she's running for president, y'all. So don't expect to see her on TV until at least 11 years from now. By that time, we won't have any networks left; it will all be Internet based entertainment/news.

If the wholly unskilled and polarizing "women" of The View can pull off their daily swill, Sarah Palin most certainly can host her own show. She's smarter than any of them, has something to say that is worth listening to, and, she's absolutely beautiful.
Goodness, how the liberals are so desperate to fool themselves about Sarah. They certainly don't fool us.
