As a college student, Adam Brickley started the Draft Sarah Palin for Vice President movement in 2007. Perhaps he should have started the “Elect Sarah Palin for Vice President” movement. Adam discusses the initiative that took the political system by storm.
“The media didn’t do a great job as far as I’m concerned. I mean, we had our share of fun at the expense of Katie Couric and Charile Gibson but I’ve been on TV criticizing the McCain campaign’s handling of her, they brought in a lot of old Bush staffers for that job. If you know anything about campaign management, the Rove school is very much about tight message control, which doesn’t work if you have a candidate like Sarah Palin, who is used to going off the record and talking to media a lot, and off the cuff is really where her bread and butter is.”

Doug’s Predictions for 2010
To link to post: http://bit.ly/4H8zhE
The Economy:
The stock market will continue to rise. Unemployment will stabilize and will actually start dropping in advance of the election.
Politics:
Republicans will make gains in November but smaller than anticipated.
Our Industry:
Optimistic about new transparency and I don’t feel that there will be a flare up over the FTC Spokesperson Guidelines. PRSA will continue to be less relevant.
Random Thoughts:
Tiger Woods will return and won’t win a major. On the bright side, his “sex addiction” will be treated successfully.
Check out my predictions from last year!
