TIME Senior Political Analyst Mark Halperin explores the impact of the new web video from Sarah Palin and what it says about a potential presidential run_ --- Jul 27, 2023 2:23 PM UTC --- ## More From This Series [All Videos](https://time.com/video/) [Sarah Palin and Her Iowa Fans](/video/RvGUPX5i/) ### Sarah Palin and Her Iowa Fans [Game Change: The Two Sarah Palins](/video/wR31MiMO/) ### _Game Change_: The Two Sarah Palins [Leaders and Revolutionaries: Sarah Palin](/video/LxpaFdKT/) ### Leaders and Revolutionaries: Sarah Palin --- ## Transcript >> This year will be remembered as the year when common sense conservative women get things done for our country. >> This Sarah Palin political video on the internet had shaken up the political world that is an incredibly effective two- minute presentation that shows her at her best and opens at a very strong way. >> This politic is coming out of DC right now. This fundamental transformation of America or a lot of women who are very concerned of their kids' future saying, " We don't like this fundamental transformation and we're gonna do something about it ." >> Right away that strong opening introducing the three stars of the video; the Conservative movement, the Tea Party movement, women voters who Palin once inspired to go vote in this midterm elections-- she's got a special connection to them, and also of course Palin herself. This is a video intended to kind of attack the Democratic Party, attack President Obama but it never mentions them. It does all the attacking with humor, lots of smiling faces, a lot of uplifting record including in one case some spiritual language. >> It seems like it's kind of a mom awakening in the last year and a half where women are rising up and saying, " No, we've had enough already ." Because moms kind of just know when something's wrong. >> What has really gotten people in politics buzzing about this video is Palin's attempt to reach out to women voters, if they vote in big numbers in the midterm elections that could be decisive. Palin makes a direct appeal one of the signature lines from this video that's getting a lot of attention talking about women rising up like bears. >> There in Alaska, I was thinking of the momma grizzly bears that rise up on their hind legs when somebody's coming to attack their cub, to do something adverse towards their cub. She thought these balls are tough. You don't want to mess with the momma grizzlies. >> There are so much going on in this video, I've watched it almost 50 times. I'm still seeing new things, it's so effective in terms of using music and imagery and Palin making her seem like a presidential figure. It also does what any great piece of video does besides opening strong, it closes strong. >> Look out Washington because there's a whole stampede of pink elephants crossing in the line in the ETA stampeding through in November 2nd 2010. A lot of women coming together. >> That closing line about a lot of women coming together is delivered in a casual way but a forceful way. It's an emotional ending to a video that's got emotions sprinkled throughout. It shows Sarah Palin's strength in the midterm elections if she can get women to turn out to vote for Republican candidates and Republicans have a good day, she's going to get a lot of credit. And for people who look at her as a potential presidential candidate and see her prospects of running in a field of all Republican men. They recognize there's a lot of potency there, she can drive that message as a presidential candidate. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Mark Halperin on Sarah Palin and the Mama Grizzlies","description":"TIME Senior Political Analyst Mark Halperin explores the impact of the new web video from Sarah Palin and what it says about a potential presidential run","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/9HjsILly/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2010-07-15T00:57:32.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/9HjsILly.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/9HjsILly/","duration":"PT2M46S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/9HjsILly/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
