Sarah Palin Gives Pathetic Campaign Speech To Nearly Empty Room

Sarah Palin still believes that she has a shot at winning a Congressional seat after losing the special election just a few weeks ago, but if the recent turnout for her event is any indication, Palin is about to suffer the most humiliating loss of her life. Palin recently spoke to a crowd that might have had a dozen people in it, but the auditorium was nearly completely empty as no one wanted to see what she had to say. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Sarah Palin still thinks that she might actually have a chance to win a seat in Congress even after losing the special election that took place just a few weeks ago. She is still vying for the seat that will officially become open. Obviously in this year's midterms. A bit of a confusing situation, but either way, Sarah Palin is still running. She still thinks she has a chance, but if the crowd turnout for her recent speech as any indication, I would say that her campaign is dead. On arrival this past weekend, Sarah Palin in Alaska did a speech to her voters, told them about her Democratic component, actually talked about how much she loved her Democratic opponent. But when you actually look at the crowd there, um, you've got what, 12, 12 people maybe showed up to watch Sarah Palin a giant auditorium. Obviously just nobody there because nobody cared enough to go watch Sarah Palin speak.

And if that visual of the empty auditorium isn't funny enough for you, consider this Sarah Palin's campaign also hired a James Brown impersonator who performed prior to Sarah Palin coming on stage because they wanted this impersonator to, you know, get, get the crowd worked up a little bit. So this poor guy, this James Brown impersonator had to perform for what, half a dozen, maybe a dozen people, to get them all energized and fired up to listen to Sarah Palin and her folksy way of, uh, you know, telling people what's wrong with the world. But as I mentioned, she actually spent a portion of her speech praising her opponent. This is what Sarah Palin had to say. Mary p I love her. She's adorable, She's sweet, she's wonderful. We're friends. We were pregnant at the same time. We're good friends. I really love her. But Alaska cannot afford a Democrat in office.

You know, I've never run a political campaign, but I've been in politics for over 18 years now when I have seen some weird campaigns, I've seen some bad campaigns, but I've never seen a Republican come out and just praise their democratic opponents saying, Oh my God, this, this is the greatest person you'll ever meet. I love them. We're best friends, super great person, kindest human being you could ever meet on the planet. Uh, just don't vote for 'em though. But, but they're super awesome. If you did vote for 'em, like that would be cool because I love them so much, but you shouldn't do that. Not exactly sure what that campaign strategy is all about, but if the 12 people there took it to heart, that could be an additional 12 votes that go to Mary Pelto instead of Sarah Palin. Now, it's actually not shocking that Sarah Palin just spoke to a pretty much empty room. We have talked about the fact and polls in Alaska have shown for many, many years that most Alaskans do not like Sarah Palin. They view her as a quitter because as we all know her one term in office as

Alaska Governor, she quit halfway through, so they feel abandoned. They elected her to do a job, and she quit on him. She quit on him to go do a reality TV show that was so bad. It lasted one season. So she left for fame and fortune, which never materialized because people outside of Alaska also do not like her. So she does have a chance, obviously, at winning this seat. But if she can't draw a crowd of more than 12 people, I'd say the chance of that is about a 1%, maybe a 2% chance. And Mary Pola hopefully has this in the bag.
