Your is faulty if you dont think from 1976 to 1980 Reagan was not told in various columns:
1. he couldnt win
2. he was too devisive
3. he was too old to run
4. he shouldnt run
etc.
Pat Paulsen.
Lucky you. I only got to shake her hand, say a few words and thank you before being shuffled off to pick up my book and leave. But you’re right. She is sincere. She IS the real deal. You can see it in her eyes.
If she wants it, she’s got my vote.
As for her becoming another pundit, or Rush, or whatever; All the LSM aside, we have enough of those. We need a leader, a strong one! As far as I have seen; she’s got the intestinal fortitude and core beliefs and vision that we need. If there’s someone else out there that thinks they can at least match that ( and I have not observed anyone else that’s viable in my eye), they had better step up to the plate. Time is running out.
To be clear, when I say I think she can do more good outside of elected office, I am not saying she would not be a great president. I’m about 55% in favor of her staying “private” and 45% in favor of her running for president.
I understood what you meant, and wasn’t slamming it. Just disagreeing as to where she’d be most useful to the country. I see, have seen, what she can do from the outside. I hunger to see what she could do on the inside. I think the country is hungering for a change, a real change, in the status quo. I think she could bring that.
It would be easier if she had help from the GOP establishment, but she’s taken on the CBC before. I have no doubt she can do it again.
But I’m not so sure this country can stand much more of the status quo. Washington is severly broken. Somethings gonna give.
But it’s Sarah’s call. If she wants to stay on the sidelines where she is now, just retire back to Wasilla, I won’t blame her. She’s earned the right. But if she feels she can make a difference, a real difference, then I’m there.

“We got quite a few on FR who believe Palin should not run for POTUS.
Somehow they’ve drank the kool-aid and don’t even know it.”
That isn’t true! I’m not convinced she should actually run either, but my main concern is for her family and their safety. I also think she can do so much more for the country doing exactly what she is doing now, especially since she has no handlers or controllers and can freely follow her own instincts and values without having to worry about fundraising and all that other nasty stuff!

Because Palin’s right flank is as vulnerable as Huck’s and Mittens’
Precisely!
To the extent those candidates took the advice, we'll never know, now will we?
Logic is such a wonderful thing.
LOL, looking though the comments there wasnt one example of anyone telling Palin NOT to run. Already lining up the excuses for her deciding not to run so you can blame others for it? THAT IS DEFEATIST! Does this mean that if she doesn't run that the left beat her? Or that she just gave up on the country for personal reasons?
Why does this matter what someone says anyway? Instead of spamming your ' Reagan is not Palin ' text again why don't you just tell Sarah she HAS to run? It's in her hands.

For a number of weeks now, I have noticed here on Free Republic an increase in the number of posters who say that former Governor Sarah Palin is unelectable. he reasons proffered are usually two fold: First, her resignation as Governor of Alaska forever brands her as a quitter, and the American people will never elect a quitter. Second, she has been so damaged by the hostile MainStream Media, and will be further damaged in another campaign that she can never defeat Barack Obama in a general election. Leaving aside the criticisms of her for the moment (inasmuch as they have been addressed and debated in numerous other posts), I maintain that the 2012 election will be a referendum on Barack Obama. If he has succeeded, he will likely be returned to office. If, on the other hand, he has failed, he will be defeated, in effect fired by the American people. The GOP nominee, whoever that is, will in all probability become the 45th President of the United States. In a word, the GOP nomination will be worth having.
Which begs the question, and I address it specifically to those posters among you who have been quick to point out your perception of Palin’s flaws, including and especially her alleged “unelectability”: name the potential candidate(s) you believe a) would be a better President; and b) have the political skills and appeal to defeat her in a GOP primary. As the saying goes, you cannot beat something with nothing.
