Pawlenty actually has some serious experience, which I like. Governors almost always win when paired against non-governors A non-Governor beat a Governor once in the last 120 years.

By comparison, no member of the House of Reps has one since Garfield in 1880, who had served 18 years in the House and was a Major General in the US Army in war time.

I’d like to see Pawlenty matched with a good attack dog. Herman Cain. Or Sarah.

See, that is what I was thinking. Someone with executive experience is better than a legislator. Romney served one term, Sarah less than one. Reagan was a two term governor with private sector exec experience as Pres of the actors union. I really like seeing that in a President.

If there is anything worse than a RINO...

It’s a milquetoast RINO.

Your ‘recovery’ is obviously still ongoing. Hang in there. It gets better.

‘that’s a ticket as exciting as Bob Dole and, and ... oh, whoever the hell it was. Boriiiiiiiiiing.’

It was Jack Kemp, who was not too boring.

Palin/West The best ticket for my money.

I knew someone on this thread would get it right.

The 2012 election is this nation's last chance for survival. Obama, et al, were installed by a corrupt political machine that has rotted all the way down to the core, and it's going to take someone with the courage and guts of a WARRIOR to root it all out.

There simply is not another politician on the right who has more demonstrated experience at doing this, than Sarah Palin. As I've watched our country sliding ever closer to the precipice these last two years, and as I've come to know Sarah Palin, it's become clear to me that she was nearly born for the task of restoring our country.

I can't help but conclude that there is some force of destiny at work here. It's almost as though she was purposely set on a path that would intersect with this precise moment in American history, and that she has worked every moment of her life to ready herself for the great task that lies ahead.

The righteous people of America simply must elect this historic warrior patriot to the presidency next year. If they do not do this, we will be faced with being left with one last option to save ourselves. I truly, truly hope that we do not go there.

“West / Cain” —

your choices are much better. I’d love to see it happen.
