First of all, Ross Perot was a
THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE! Sarah Palin has said that she wouldn't run as some fringe party candidate.
You are wishing for some "GREAT WHITE HOPE MALE CONSERVATIVE" to come to the fore. That isn't going to happen! This was also the great wish of many here, in '07-'08 and that didn't happen then.
Most of Perot's supporters were political naifs, had little to no idea what he stood for, nor how politics works. None of that is true for Governor's Palin's supporters here, or amonst those who have never heard of this site.
Ross had never held an elected office and had made most of his money sucking off the government teat...vis-a-vis government contracts. He also hated the Bush family with a burning, visceral emotion. Again, nothing even remotely akin to Governor Palin.
The MSM,"comics", pundits of every stripe, and many of the GOP elitists have been going after not just Sarah Palin, but everyone in her family since she was chosen to be McCain's running-mate and she, unlike every other pols, ever, has fought back and, for the most part, won. Anyone who will be the the GOP presidential candidate in '12, WILL get the same treatment and not a one of them will know how to fight back, as she does!
If anyone is not seeing reality, it is you..........go buy a damned clue or three.

Great post top to bottom. There is no great male hope. SP is the only one who knows how to handle the MSM onslaught that is sure to come against anyone whho dares oppose Obama. What is so hard about that?
First of all, Ross Perot was a THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE! Sarah Palin has said that she wouldn't run as some fringe party candidate. I hate to break the news to you but, nowadays, the Republicans ARE the "Third Party".
Independents slightly outnumber Democrats and both the Democrats and the Independents outnumber Republicans. Even if Sarah Palin got every single Republican vote, it would still leave 71% of all voters outside of her Fan Club.
Of that 71%, Sarah Palin's poll numbers with Indepedents are lower than whale scat at the bottom of the ocean and Democrats will not vote for her.
That is why the latest polls show Sarah Palin trailing Obama by 22%.
Sarah Palin can win a Free Republic popularity poll running away and she can even win a Republican nomination by winning over the 60% of Republicans who call themselves conservatives.
That, however, (60% of 29%) only gives her a solid base of less than 18% of all voters.
A solid base of only 18% of all voters with a negative rating in the latest polls of 50% of all voters will be a guaranteed electoral disaster of Biblical proportions in the general election.
