I tend to think that Sarah will hang in around the edges and contend for a VP slot.

Just curious... which Republican candidate would select Palin as his VP partner?

The patriotic zeal is already here. It takes just a spark and Sarah will provide that spark. It does not require elitists or their machinery to enflame patriots. It requires only a belief that we can return to a constitutional condition with the leadership required to make it happen.
I do not believe for a microsecond that Sarah can’t win. She has the charisma and the sheer ability to overwhelm any opposition.

Walker knows how to win elections in HIS state full of lefties.

It’d be nice if those nominated to some cabinet positions and the SCOTUS would be graduates of schools that don’t take federal money like Hillsdale College.

Yes she did the same thing in 2012. Hey a girl’s gotta make a living. :-)

Gov. Walker.. a proven inspirational Conservative leader

Conservative? I don't think so.

Walker has repeatedly hinted that he is for full Amnesty for most of the illegals (criminals) here. He is a non-starter.

Sorry for questioning your conservatism.

But I remember how in 2012 we helped the media destroy every last candidate we had, and then acted shocked when Romney won nomination. We blamed the GOPe, but we had a hand in helping Romney clinch his win by trashing all of our other candidates. We’ll do the same in 2016.

Wisconsin was also the home of Joseph McCarthy and currently, the John Birch Society resides there. It’s definitely a mix there.


So, Sarah, Ted, Scott. All of these people I like very much.

“At least she isn’t Romney” isn’t exactly a stirring defense.

Furthermore, Im not saying she isn’t a reliable conservative or that she’s somehow doing something wrong. I’m just pointing out that she isnt running.

Like Sarah Palin? Check
Agree with her 99% of the time? Check
Think she’d make a better POTUS than any of the RINOS? Check
Think she has a snowballs chance in hell of winning? No Go.

The same goes for Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin or for that matter, Jim Robinson. All patriots who I know love their country and are right on issues, but the combination of letting everyone with a pulse vote along with a media hell bent on making sure that whole Ronald Reagan thing never happens again, makes it nearly impossible for a real conservative to win.

Time to do what the Declaration of Independence calls for. The current incarnation of the USA is far to infected with terminal stupid and terminal moocher.

Good idea. All this cronyism and corruption. . will it ever end. Will we ever have your 'basic' very limited Federal government again, bare bones, so to speak with the states retaking their powers. . and the senate?

That is pretty much what I believe. Tina Fey must be jubilant upon hearing this news/ What SNL did to Sarah Palin was patently unfair, but so is life most of the time.

I love governor Palin more than any other politician for her patriotism and fearlessness. However realistically, even if she wins nomination, she will have extreme difficulty winning in the general election.

I would vote for her without a 2nd thought.

Just for her to get into the nominee race would rile the LIBERAL left to the degree that we could have some enjoyable entertainment.

A mountain of truth in your statement.

You are correct in your analysis, however the GOPe and the enemedia were the ones trashing all the candidates.

As well as some here on FR.
