You are so right! As much as Sarah Palin is popular with the Free Republic crowd, and many other conservatives, she will never get the nomination in 2012 if the current primary system is still in place. This has to be addressed, and it has to be given more than just lip service. The RINOs, who are afraid of Sarah, will put up another conservative candidate to divide the vote, and then their guy (or gal) will get the nod again, just like McCain. And then we will be looking at another 4 years of Obama and the Dems.
If she draws a huge crowd for Chambliss (compared to McCain, etc.) word will start to get out and other candidates will be looking for her support in 2010... the ole boys may be dismissive of her, but if she can turn out the votes they will be forced to sit up and take notice whether they like her or not. We didn’t have a single candidate who made people passionately turn out until McCain named Sarah... which means not one primary candidate excited the GOP voters and it allowed the Romney’s, Huckabee’s, McCain’s to duke it out..
