No, this is jot a joke. Not kidding, not joshing ya, not The Onion. Esto no es un chiste y yo se que Vd. no puede creerlo. As the GOP is now reeling from an election campaign where it’s clear failed Presidential candidate and increasingly self-discredited-by-mouth Mitt Romney ignored, turned off, or neglected to woo key growing groups the GOP needs to survive….as the GOP is soul searching about ways to offer a more affirmative and positive form of politics that offers solid specifics rather than warmed over talk radio riffs or lines seemingly grabbed from blogs… Charlotte Allen in the L.A. Times suggests what it really needs is: Sarah Palin as its 2016 nominee.
"The Republican Party has been doing a lot of hand-wringing and finger-pointing since the presidential election. Half the conservative columnists and bloggers say the GOP lost because it overemphasized social issues such as abortion and gay marriage. The other half says the party didn’t emphasize them enough. And everyone denounces Project ORCA, the campaign’s attempt to turn out voters via technology.
But I’ve got a suggestion for cutting short the GOP angst: Sarah Palin for president in 2016.
You think I’m joking? Think again."
She makes her case in detail and says:
"Some Republicans will say Palin has too much baggage from 2008, and we need to look for a new Sarah Palin."
Sarah Palin has so much baggage TSA is opening a new office to inspect it.
"But I don’t see what’s wrong with the one we’ve got. Ever since the 1990s, Republicans have been looking for the next Ronald Reagan. Reagan is now revered in bipartisan circles, but during his presidency he was, like Palin, ridiculed by liberals. They cited “Bedtime for Bonzo” and sneered at his no-name college degree.(continued)

No Palin, plz.
Yes, Sara Palin. We need our FIRST woman President.
Yes, Sara Palin. We need our FIRST woman President.
Right on.
Do it. Now.
I think she would be a great President but the MSM would rip her so much she could never win. They have an irrational hate for her.
If she were considering running she would say so.
Why would anybody believe third-party gossip about it?
Sarah Palin took all the bullets, arrows and everything else they could throw at her and she is still standing.
Having followed the pied piper down the McCain and Romney ratholes, how could we possibly do worse with her?
I would love to see her there-—but I don’t think she’d do it to her kids—especially her girls.............the dims would start ripping them apart again.

She won’t run. Just a fact.
I would support her 100%. She tackled corruption head-on in the Alaska GOP. She negotiated with the oil companies to get a sweet deal for the citizens of Alaska. And she’s not bashful about the “lamestream” media. Those who doubt her ability, I would say, “Compared to whom?” Go Sarah. I’m with you, gal.
Did the George Washington and the Founding Fathers or Simón Bolívar and his companions worry about what the press said?
In Freaking Deed !!
I’d rather fail as a conservative than blah blah blah !
Why not Jeb Bush? We could really use another Bush and a third straight loser...
What I love about her is her effect on squishy moderate republicans.
My first-choice, bar none.
The perfect mix. Palin’s unique combination of fiscal conservatism, social conservatism, independent anti-establishment, western-state libertarianism, and mid-American populism fits my ideology hand-in-glove. Nobody since Reagan has come this close for me.
Of course, the country is probably quite unsalvageable at this point, making it all rather moot. And the GOP itself is such a corrupt, decrepit mess, as well. Totally defective. But whatever Palin decides to do, go for the nomination, start a third-party, whatever, I’ll sign up. I have far more trust in her than what’s become of the GOP.
She scares the jelly out of their pliant, noodle-like spines.
