As Simon says politics is all about connection and he has grasped a key political fact about Sarah Palin. There are, already, a considerable number of Americans who would sleep more easily in their homes with the knowledge that this fascinating and rather mysterious woman was keeping watch over their land…

Palin likablity, Gingrich political savy you cannot buy..
I hope that conservatives have plenty of decent choices for ‘12 GOP POTUS, but I, also, hope that all of these choices don’t help a RINO become the final pick for GOP POTUS, yet again!
with the knowledge that this fascinating and rather mysterious woman was keeping watch over their land…
I like that...At least we ALL know she loves the land
“Palin / Gingrich... the winning team..
The democrats worse nightmare...
Palin likablity, Gingrich political savy you cannot buy.. “
I wish I could second the motion, but I find Newt untrustworthy.
I would much prefer Palin/DeMint or DeMint/Palin.
America has seen what happens when you elect “intellectuals” with no trace of wisdom.
Palin has wisdom, courage and morals in spades.
The Left FEARS this little woman, so that should tell us something.
So did his wife... Were talking WAR HERE.. knucklehead..
We need militants with great BIG brass balls.. let them tea bag that..
I can hear old Huckabee now trying TO BE FAIR to the democrats..
Or Romney trying out gambit the professional thieves.. like in Mass..
They are Barney Fife and Gomer.. when Andy Griffith is needed..
Na Palin/Bachmann OR Palin/Blackburn the EXTREME Hotness Tickets.
Ok, I can go with that too.
I don’t think she wants it at all. She’s making great money, can speak her mind freely and is beholden to nobody.
All that changes if she runs for office.
She might do it down the line when she’s banked 50+ million on her own.
I agree with Mr. Simon that Palin has a real chance of being the Republican nominee. I think anyone would be crazy to discount her chances in the primary.
However, I also notice that he doesn’t address Palin’s chances of actually being elected President, and I think that’s where her real problem is. Palin is certainly popular among the base, but her favorability numbers among independents are as bad or worse than Obama’s. Unlike other potential Republican candidates, there aren’t many fence-sitters for her to win over, either.
Like it or not, whoever the Republican nominee is is going to have to win over independents. As things stand now, it looks like Palin is going to have a hard time there.
I think it’s too early to make a serious judgement on her chances in 2012. If the election were being held right now I’d vote for her in a heartbeat but with over two years to go... Well, anything could happen.
And that’s something I worry about too. Among all the shouts of “racism” directed at the Right there are a lot of threats of violence. Sarah flys a lot and much of it in smaller aircraft. I worry that someone might do something to hurt her in a misguided effort to help the Lightworker. If that were to happen I shudder to think of the consequences. It might be enough to set off a new Civil War.
