Yeah those are my feelings exactly. Well said.
Here’s the double-edged sword that Sarah faces. If Sarah had not been picked by McCain to be his running mate the whole world would be talking about something else right now and Sarah would probably never have been given the opportunity to occupy the White House. But given the opportunity, Sarah has created so much buzz everywhere, the MSM, the internet, right wing bloggers, right-wing grass-roots organizations etc. that she has been allowed to showcase her talent and charisma to the American people, especially the Republicans in a two-month tryout. So what is the verdict. Rasmussen says she has a 91% approval rating among Republicans as of now and would be selected by 64% of Republicans to be the Presidential standard-bearer for 2012 if they could vote right now. Romney and Huckabee were more than 50 points behind. I would say that was a pretty good debut on the national stage; to become the heart and soul and conscience of the Republican grass-roots in so short a time is nothing short of remarkable. To say that Sarah is a lock for the 2012 nomination, if she wants it, is totally speculative-we’re still a long way out from 2012. But I think I am on firm ground by saying that Sarah is definitely in the short list of candidates who will be considered among the front runners vying for the 2012 Presidential Republican nod.
