Palin's Potential

" Well -- will be pretty difficult not to see Sarah Palin -- TV this week if you didn't Mike Doocy will meet everywhere. Her book is called going road and it hits stores tomorrow. And this week's blitz is a no holds barred crack at re crafting to a certain extent her political future. So will she succeed this is a big week folks in the life of Sarah Palin a lot of people. Already weighing in as all of us behind the scenes -- through the quotes it is buck by the critics not holding back as you might imagine here is New York Times columnist David."

" Brooks. It's fish it's a joke I mean I just can't take -- Jason guy did it this potential talk show host is considered seriously for the Republican nomination. Believe me it'll never happen voters Republican primary voters are just not gonna -- talk --"

" Are high that not everybody thinks that her book is a joke Rush Limbaugh says the mainstream media will focus on the wrong aspects of the but here's what he sat."

" The focus on what they did is they used soap opera aspects of your more demure little ignore."

" What is truly one of the most substantive policy books I've read this woman Governor Palin. Clearly is jazzed by policy particularly environmental policy and energy policy."

" Hi they had all the soap opera aspect cities talking about in the book is the score settling. Regarding her experience during the McCain campaign in the McCain camp is firing back against those negative claims former campaign manager Steve Schmidt who gets a big dose of in this book. Is calling it quote total fiction. Former strategist John Weaver an apple these people worked in a closely with the John McCain in the election. He says that that the book is petty and pathetic so let's bring in our panel and talk about the future -- as well. Other women out there for 32 downtown as a democratic pollster and Fox News contributor Monica Crowley courses that conservative radio hot host to host to a host. And attractive and giving -- Lou rattled after the duration of talk show hosts like hockey I imagine. Hey me and I try it -- the talk shows but you being derided as a potential talk show host which is even worse I guess than actually be people I think. Lot of that we think about -- reaction. You know Sarah Palin was governor of major states and I think this is what she's doing now trying to reclaim her public image because between McCain campaign. And the media a lot of folks on the left in the media but like David Brooks a lot of people on the right really ripped into her during the campaign. She lost control of her image -- lost control of her message. What she's doing now is trying to rehab her in the -- Spanish is a golden opportunity because if she came out the scene nobody knew anything about her really. I think hurt approval numbers were here is before she started talking I mean everybody was so -- but I think -- wanting to receiver and white car. A scene and you know whether she'd waited on -- and other people that have four there was a credibility gap that opened up there in terms of how much of a grass she has on on them though I guess you remember her first major national debut was a speech at the Republican National Convention and a huge was dynamite. At a poll numbers were three to root for people -- one want to know more about her she was so impressive. What happened was that those on the left decided in particularly in the Obama campaign but also in that the national media. Said at what she is a powerful presence out there she needs to be destroyed before she can really gain traction for the ticket and also for the future for herself. Sydney did everything they could to try to paint her. As as an -- paints her as somebody who could have a serious effect on policy. This woman is very strong none on energy issues environmental issues has just ended -- beyond that valley and you know we'll talk a little bit about that what does she have to do this if she's talking at. Is Sean Hannity she's talking to Bill O'Reilly she's talking to Barbara Walters she's talking today in all of the heavyweight folks. Out there are many of them I should say. What does she have to do to convince people that he -- behind energy and the environment on."

" Is she has to convince people she's a serious national player and that she is ready for prime time. There is a constituency in the Republican Party David Brooks underestimates him tremendously that responds to her personal story and that's fine. But unless she can demonstrate a degree of gravitas and seriousness about foreign policy. About the budget about job creation what she can do that she's not gonna be ready. For 2000."

" Anyway it's looking like there may be a few powerful women out there in the 32. -- landscape. Liz Cheney has you know clearly put yourself in a posture of the of being somebody to contend with and to think about and to have the name thrown out there. This weekend she sort of jokingly -- that they her father's name at a reference or discussion about. Dick Cheney and then Barack Obama on FOX News Sunday she says well maybe that's a -- look at Jane Chaney 32. Which of course is the question. Which -- JP. Exactly and Doug and I were talking before the show what about her much her mother is very impressive in her -- I think Liz Cheney is fabulous she is brilliant and she's a grown up. And she is surrounded by -- she's been -- she served in the State Department. She's got -- national security gravitas she knows what she's talking about if she chooses to run for congress or the US senate or even governor -- I say you know what she's got -- major opportunity here and what about the woman who made no matter how many times he's at that. Lot of people grumble that Hillary Clinton wouldn't consider. Pulling up Pat Buchanan running against somebody in her own party and -- your own party and when he twelve."

" Mean Hillary Clinton's been absolutely unequivocal. -- and say she's not running and she's at this point secretary of state are -- to the state secretary staff don't even think she's gonna run and 36. But the one thing you say in politics is you never saying I'm."

" Another thing -- she was running for the seven in New York she was very unequivocal about not seeking public office and then within a year she is running for president -- Joe. Just aren't there yet I doubt he's going to be very interesting all women to watch three so will be watching a -- down with great interest at this week and see how she does. Monica Crowley thank you very much textile is -- you Trace."
