Michael F. Cannon:

"Sarah Palin’s 'death panels' claim had far more credibility than [The Washington Post’s Ezra] Klein’s slander of Joe Lieberman, which, incidentally, also slanders anyone else who opposes the Senate bill. If there be justice in the world, that slander will backfire."

Howard Jacobs:

"Sarah Palin was roundly criticized, laughed at, and excoriated by supporters of Obama when she said that the universal health care plan would lead to death panels. The characterization of the term 'death panels' was quickly associated with people wearing tin foil hats. It is ironic that a group of people who believe the twin towers were brought down by inside conspiracies and that a plane never crashed into the Pentagon, could call other people 'tin foil hat wearers.'"

Suzanne Eovaldi:

"Mr. and Mrs. Palin with their starting five have put in sharp relief the real reason why liberal feminists hate so much. How can a university professor call all marriage rape, another say all intercourse is rape, and another walk into her classroom smelling to her students offensively of BO? ... A new woman for a new time is winning."

Mark Noonan:

"Palin has now emerged from the shadows of MSM/Democrat smears and become entirely her own person. To be sure, the MSM and the Democrats will still try to smear her, but that will work just as well as the smears worked on Reagan - ie, not at all. Palin is gaining the undying love and devotion of regular folks."

Alberto Vargas:

"Despite the biased media's attempt to paint a negative picture of Sarah Palin, her recent public appearances, including Oprah's, have served to convince Americans that she really is a pretty down-to-earth, very intelligent lady. She is, despite the constant attacks, becoming more and more popular with the American public."

Johanna Neuman:

"No question the book, 'Going Rogue,' was a huge bestseller, 1 million copies so far. So what's next on Palin's agenda? There are a few paid speeches scheduled. After that, well, there's a political action committee to steer, a midterm election to fight for, a presidential contest looming and a lot of fans eager to hear her message."

Dan Riehl:

"Palin Signs Bachman's Copy: 'Michele, we love you'... Now here's a tag team made in heaven if your goal is to drive the loony Left even crazier than they already are! What do you think? Palin/Bachman in 2012?... We could do a hell of a lot worse."

Phil Krone:

"What really convinced me this gal had a chance wasn’t her clever rollout on Oprah’s show to start her book tour, but the fact that Tom Roeser, Chairman of this online publication and a very intelligent conservative with whom I disagree 87.3% of the time wrote last week that he could support her candidacy. I think Roeser’s judgment of Obama is incorrect, but he would never support anyone for President who he didn’t believe had the basic ‘necessities.’ I would never vote for Sarah Palin, but I wouldn’t bet against her either, though it galls me to admit it."

Melissa Clouthier:

"The [Conan O'Brien] segment and the book tour and the Facebook page and the Op-Eds have succeeded to do one thing: Bring Sarah Palin back to neutral ground... Neutral is a good place to be. President Obama would like to be neutral with these people. Unfortunately for him, he’s not neutral. In fact, independents are running away from President Obama. So, Sarah is doing well."

Jeff Jorgensen:

"Many liberals and left wing media pundits have been downright apoplectic about her return, and have proceeded to demonize her the same way they demonized the Tea Party protesters. That is why Governor Palin is rapidly gaining traction with the Tea Party movement. They both are learning with media persecution comes growing popularity among voters. Common cause dictates that Governor Palin and the Tea Party movement join forces before the 2010 elections, becoming one of the most formidable and potent political forces in American politics to date. When that happens, she will most certainly be the Republican nominee in 2012."

Darrow Miller:

"Sarah Palin understands the power of paradigm. She operates personally and transparently on basic principles, arguing that all of human life is sacred because God has made it so... This is why so many statists... went ballistic when Gov. Palin was chosen to run as the GOP candidate for vice president... This group understood that her life and policies would be a threat to the statist agenda and the lifestyle of license that is so much a part of the atheistic-materialistic belief system."

Michelle Malkin:

"This week, [Sen. Harry] Reid pummeled opponents with the worn-out race card... Reid likened Republicans who object to socialized medicine to slave masters, enemies of women’s suffrage and Bull Connor. Reid’s rhetorical aim was worse than the unhinged Minnesota protester who threw tomatoes at Sarah Palin during a book signing and hit a police officer instead. Splat."

I Hate the Media:

"There are many examples of Palin’s and Obama’s autographs available on the internet, but we could find just one example of the MSNBC host’s autograph. And that leads us to the inescapable conclusion that Matthews’ real complaint is that thousands of people line up to get Palin’s autograph, but no one ever asks for his. Envy is such an ugly thing, Chris."

The Hays Daily News:

"The more most people get to know Palin the better they like her. And, her approval ratings have gone up since she resigned as Alaska's governor. On the other hand, the more people get to know Obama the more they dislike him as witnessed by his month after month plummeting approval ratings or should we say disapproval ratings."

Debra Moore:

"Needless to say, every now and then, we find a rare honest politician who states his/her mind and seems to be one of us. That person is Sarah Palin--the same woman who makes those on the Left act completely irrational."
