How about Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle (R) to challenge Obama in 2012?
Wikipedia ^ | 7/23/09 | National Treasure

Posted on 07/24/2009 4:25:54 AM PDT by National Treasure

If the GOP was smart, they would go with someone like Governor Linda Lingle (R), of Hawaii to challenge Obama in 2012.

She's one tough lady. She's really smart, very level-headed, pro-business, fiscally conservative, and yet she supports women's issues, and she's also a social moderate. George W. Bush LOVED her.

Interestingly, she's also Jewish (from Missouri), and was married, although now she's divorced.

She would please conservatives AND moderate Republicans, plus she's got the Jewish vote and I know she would appeal to minorities, since she totally understands and relates to minorities, having presided over one of the most diverse states in the nation.

Wouldn't that be something? A Democratic candidate from Hawaii with Kansas roots, and a Republican candidate from Hawaii with Missouri roots, facing off to be President of the United States.

I'd love to see that matchup.

She might run against someone, but it won’t be Obama. He’ll be out on his ass before then.

she's also a social moderate.

So you signed up today just to push her? Forget it. It's Palin or no one. And if you thought campaigning from Alaska was tough, that's nothing compared to the distances involved with Hawaii.

BTW, when's Lingle going to release oBama's Certificate of Live Birth?

If she would allow the release his birth certificate, Obama might not be running in 2012.

We had enough of these social moderates in the 08 election. Romney, McCain, Rudy, the Huckster. We don’t need to go down that road again.

I love when liberals tell us who to nominate. LOL. This lady is good enough for liberal Hawaii (not going to get much better than that), but please. She is far from a standard bearer for conservatism.

Does Lou Dobbs have a video of her hunched over Bamba's birth certificate with a lighter in hand, say, 8 years ago?

I smell a RINO.

A single female President? I definitely don’t believe this country is ready for that. Let’s get the married female first before we go to the singles.

Can you help me with your reasoning? If she is even only moderately conservative by your definition, I would like see what you consider to be liberal.

She’ll get no support until she releases 0bama’s birth records. And then it’s only a maybe.

Besides, Hardly anyone from the mainland has ever even heard of her. No deal.

What he said.

It makes little difference if the executive wrecks the country with an R or a D after his name. We need an actual conservative.
