“She won’t run, but she will be a power broker. The one who does run, hasn’t shown up yet. Let’s hope he knows better than to show up too early.”

And my opinion is, barring any unknowns between now and 2012, Palin will likely run and could easily win.

again, you disparage palin, and insist someone is going to come riding in on a white stallion, better qualified than sarah...

who was available in 2008? itz now 2 years later...who has gone toe to toe with the lefties and rinos, and is ON TOP, with a huge following, and a grasp of the issues THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS VOICED....

good luck with your presidential hope chest....

Yeah...
Palin will run interference for a couple years. The media will smear and throw crap at her family. But they are strong and can take it. She won’t run, but she will be a power broker. The one who does run, hasn’t shown up yet. Let’s hope he knows better than to show up too early.

Naw, you're wrong.

All signs point to Governor Palin running, winning the Primary and then winning the General Election.

I did not disparage Sarah. I admire her. I think she is a strong conservative voice and I’m happy she is out there.

You are 100% behind her and I have nothing bad to say about you for supporting her. I’m happy as hell that people are actually supporting a real conservative for a change, but I don’t want ANY candidate to be marketed as the Conservative ONE. It’s going to take a lot more than one voice to lead us out of the wilderness.

Sarah Palin is not the only conservative qualified to be President. In the end, she might be on top because she has won over the people who have doubts and her supporters could help her by not alienating the very conservatives that she needs to win over.

[raygunfan]

and again, you seem to be sidestepping here, you just posted that she isnt the only one out there...ok, again, which other one has the solid conservative credentials and following that she has.....????

“Mark McKinnon, a former campaign adviser to Republicans George W. Bush and John McCain, wrote in the Daily Beast that he admires Palin’s “tenacity, her verve, her moxie and her pluck” but believes she is “perhaps the only Republican nominee who could lose in 2012.”

This is what Laura Ingraham calls a "Butt Monkey."

[Dr. Scarpetta]

"What man or mouse with a fully functioning human brain and a resume as thin as Palin's would flirt with a presidential run?" former Republican congressman Joe Scarborough, an MSNBC co-host, wrote in an opinion piece for Politico.

I'm totally fed up with Joe Scarborough. When he gets fired from MSNBC, hopefully Fox News won't give him a job.

What "prominent Republicans" really means: Ruling Class, Elitist, Blue-Blood, Country Club, Establishment Republicans
