i recall reading somewhere that sarah has a degree in journalism.

that will explain a lot about how she tends to confound the featherweight maggot media/legion.

wait for the stories forthcoming on the origin of the name sarah. they have pissed through every other option.

wait for sarah’s trap to snap... then the big story regarding here will be.... never mind ...

and everyone will forget their piggish transgressions against her in speciffic, and humanity, in the general... as per the expected usual.

It seems true that only the attendee speakers received the greater results in the straw poll, but the event does not establish our nominee by a long shot. The INDEPENDENTS will do that, as republicans have never won an election by themselves without democrat votes.

Shake yourself from your slumber Tony. Cheerleaders remain on the sidelines — Sarah is definitely in the game.

No, she’s much more than a cheerleader...

She’s a brilliant strategist...

She’s an encourager to millions of discouraged Americans who wait in long lines to hear her tell them the US is still the greatest nation in the world - and we’ll survive these assaults on our freedoms and rise above it simply because we are Americans...

She has Republicans and conservatives hoping and praying and begging for her endorsement and she has the dems on the run!

Not to mention, she’s handled her critics in DC, the press, and within her own party, with a wonderful attitude, a great sense of humor, and nothing but class.

I still want to believe Palin could unite the country with a good positive Reagan-like conservative agenda

Nothing wrong with wanting things. If I were you though, I wouldn't bet real money on it. It's painfully obvious that even amongst her fan base, there are many who don't want her to be president. C'mon, she couldn't even place in a Value Voters straw poll. She might be a successful pundit, which I personally doubt as I believe her star will plummet as quickly as it rose, but in either event it's highly unlikely she'll ever win another political office.

I don’t see this as “death” for a possible Palin 2012 run, as you might wish, FRiend. There’s a lot of road between here and 2012, and right now she is cheerleading for 2010. That’s what she’s focused on right now. And even you have to admit she’s doing a “heckuva” job getting conservatives elected.

I would bet real money on it. She's 3-0 in the last three primaries, and she's picking up IOU's faster than Richard Nixon did during 1964-1968.

We will see, but don’t be shocked if she goes down in flames. For what it’s worth, don’t be shocked to see O’Donnel lose big in the general.

Don't be shocked when you find Christine O'Donnell sitting in Joe Biden's old seat in 2011 or when Sarah Palin takes the oath of office in 2013.

I *DO* see a greater value in Palin as a ‘cheer leader’ than a candidate.

Cheerleader? A better word would be positive leader. But the key word is LEADER. From Obamacare to the Gulf BP crisis to endorsing winning candidates to the mosque at ground zero, Sarah Palin is the first to arrive on every issue in the past year and a half. That says leadership to me. I can't think of anyone who has lead better than her, can you?

By (potentially) being on the ballot, she energizes the LEFT.

So your point is that Republicans need to nominate another bland, milquetoast who'll depress turnout among conservatives so as not to offend the good senses of the leftists then, right?

No, you've simply accepted the Ruling Class meme.

Governor Palin is a leader. She is not some high school prima donna queen who should be cheerleading at events and then be told to sit down while the "men" take charge.

Your inference is wrong and your logic is weak.

Don’t draw that conclusion. I didn’t.

I see Palin’s best fit right now as a force multiplier, as opposed to being on point.

Now having said that, I DO NOT yet see *WHO* should run for POTUS *INSTEAD* of her. THAT is a REAL problem. If no real candidate shows up/ emerges, then Run Palin run.

NET: I really like her, her positions, her political acumen and her leadership; I am currently of the position that her candidacy for POTUS would do too much to energize the loons. She SHOULD however have a major role in the overall campaigns of Conservatives AND should serve well in whomever’s presidency.

Leadership can be critically executed in many roles. Only one of the available roles is “candidate.” I agree she is a good and strong leader, and it ain’t about gender.

Lighten up.

In other words, one of the more worthless polls out there as far as 2012 goes.

She controls her own destiny. If she wants to be President bad enough, she has a chance. You paint her out to be an idiot with no political value to the future of our Republic. I think that is wrong..
