Name THE person, who is not running for President, that would be the BEST in the Job.

It is clear there is nothing like a consensus about who should be the Republican Candidate for President.

We all know the people who should really be in the job don't want to take a pay cut and put up with the slanderous treatment by the MSM.

Is it time for the process to change? We have the technology to do some amazing things.

Can we run an internal poll and decide what potential candidate would be the best possible person to lead the country. I am convinced it would be none of the above (current candidates running).

Anyone think that this is a good idea?

That’s a good one. Don Rumsfeld with Paul Ryan for VP.

Those two could have easily sat in with the Founding Fathers and not been out of place.

If it isn't cowardice, what is it?

Ah, then you admit you are engaged in pure, unadulterated speculation. Good. I was afraid I had missed the memo.

As for why else besides fear, that is, frankly, an odd question. There could be many other reasons. That should be obvious from the general experience of life. Furthermore, she spoke of a "confirmation." That is how people speak who have entrusted God with their most difficult decisions, and we know she was and is a person who takes God very seriously, and would not act against what she believed to be His will. If, in her prayers, and her study of the situation, she came to the conclusion she should not run, that God had other plans for her, then not running would be absolutely the right thing to do, and the decision can be accounted for with honor.

Ohhhh..... I’m so sorry!

My state is close (taxachusetts), but I am lucky enough to live in an extremely conservative area. Problem is it’s the country, so although we have more land mass our population is smaller! Our cities are over run by illegals, communists, welfare recipients, couch potatoes and dead people. They love the liberals!

Sarah Palin... although the embarrassing, corrupt shell of a nation this country has become is hardly worthy of her.

Interesting question.

I've said for years that Steve Forbes may be the public figure who is most qualified to be the President of the United States -- and might actually stand a chance if we were still in the pre-TV days.

Our Sarah.
For her running mate, she should choose IrishPennant. Why?

Due to this quote from IrishPennant:(for President) “ME!!! But don’t vote for me unless you don’t mind seeing lots and lots of sand turned to glass.”

That SO works for me!!!

Yes but 99% of those mentioned are outsiders. I think what we want is someone not plugged in to the status quo.
