“Sarah Palin is a nice person but far too shallow. She has some kooky sound bites and says allot of what SHOULD be said but we need a competent person to RUN the government and she is not it. Thankfully her family seems to be getting under control ... I hope she keeps running aroun trashing Obama and liberals - she’s good at that and we should leave it at that.”

Mmmm. Maybe some dull, old white guy. Preferably a Senator... you know, they have a lot of gravitas. Someone who knows how to reach across the aisle and work with the Democrats. Someone who can find “common ground.” Someone who’s brave enough to admit that the Democrats are, after all, nothing to be afraid of, and maybe even have some fine ideas. Someone who has some bright ideas of their own, like making political ads illegal before an election.

Oh, wait. We already had that pathetic loser for a candidate. His name is John McCain (in case you’ve all forgotten).

The fact is, Palin is the only high profile person on our team with the ability to stir and motivate people with a conservative message. There may be other fine conservatives out there, but if some of you consider Palin “unqualified” (as opposed to WHO? Our current Dictator-in-training?) the others can only be considered even MORE unqualified.

At this point of the game, it’s NECESSARY that our candidate has name recognition. It’s NECESSARY that people ALREADY know who they are, and - to some degree, what they stand for. The only other people I can think of like that are the pathetic has-beens from the last election and all of them have ALREADY been rejected by our own party. I really do think it’s too late for someone new to pop up out of nowhere and lead us to victory.

Yes, I remember McPain. Sarah Palin happily ran with him as his VP. Yes, I remember how Sarah Palin also ENDORSED and ADVOCATED that silly, dull, prinipless Republican. Yes, don’t remind me of Sarah Palin’s SUPPORT for McPain.

“The fact is, Palin is the only high profile person on our team with the ability to stir and motivate people with a conservative message.”

Sure she is “high profile” but she is way too polarizing and she is certainly NOT a “conservative”. She is a populist.

“There may be other fine conservatives out there, but if some of you consider Palin “unqualified” (as opposed to WHO? Our current Dictator-in-training?) the others can only be considered even MORE unqualified.”

She is too shallow as I said before. Yes, she has some fun sound bites and makes me laugh. I enjoy her sense of humor but I am not looking to have a comedian be my next President or a populist. I’m not sure yet who I will endorse. Jindall looks interesting. I relly don’t know yet. I do know that we will NOT win if Palin runs for President.

To be honest with you, I do agree with what you just said. I’m at a loss to name someone who fits that right now and can win. I have NO DOUBT that Palin will NOT WIN. There are people that practically worship her but she cannot win the WH. NO WAY!
