Take me off your list as well.

She would make a great president however she’s damaged goods.

I know far too many conservatives and independents who don’t like her.

Don’t blame me, blame the media.

You want her to give up and throw in the towel like too many conservatives have already done?

Vote for Sarah!

22 months is long enough time to change perception especially among conservatives.

I hope you’re right. I certainly don’t want RINOmney to be the GOP candidate.

I love Sarah. In fact I would walk through fire naked to marry her. I’m just saying that the more she exposes herself in an informal way, the more ammo she gives the lunatic Leftist medias to distort and mock everything that she does.

I don’t think she can be President because ALL outlets of popular entertainment(news, comedy, sit-coms, talk shows, movies, cartoons, PBS, radio shows, magazines, newspapers, adverts, sky-writing, etc.) would go absolutely nuclear on her. She will be President, just not this time.

And furthermore I love Christmas!
Can you just lop off a couple of fingers instead?

Just my $.02

Instead of throwing in the towel,just as Journolisters and the Republican Cocktail Party of Pissants want you, us and her to do, have you ever asked those people what they don’t like about her? More than likely they don’t have any reason other than because of some lie or smear about her. Ask some of them and try to set them straight.

By throwing in the towel this early in the game, you are effectively allowing the above mentioned groups to choose our candidate.

Which of the above are not already doing this to her?

I agree with you.... but with one more comment.

Reagan was a calm conservative - Sarah doesn’t seem to have that charisma (see is nicer to look at). I’d like to see someone like Christie - smart, quick minded, & conservative.

I’d surely vote for her but I’d prefer someone closer to a Reagan.

would you call someone who is soft on immigration, gun control, supports the NY 911 Mosque and named a muslim to a top post conservative? My property taxes have also gone up since he took office.

You should look at some videos of Sarah Palins appearances. The woman oozes charisma.

There are plenty of them at conservatives4palin.com

You certainly don’t see Palin as I see her.

Sarah Palin has tremendous charisma. Even her critics don’t deny her that.

As for not being calm, here is my theory:

In terms of politics, Sarah Palin is a like a young Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods.

Would you describe them as calm performers in their early 20’s? No way?

Why? Because they had the youthful exuberance which comes from youth but the superstar talent to know when to put it on full display for maximum effectiveness.

Let me also say this: We are so used to older politicians being in the limelight being “calm”. Look at how old they are or were (Reagan was 69 when he became President). Does their gray hair tell you anything?

Give me a profile of someone Obama would love to face in a presidential election:

Old, calm, no exuberance, and little charisma!

Does the name John McCain come to mind?

Sarah will only be 48 in 2012; the last time the GOP had a President under 50 was Teddy Roosevelt. He didn’t do so bad for himself did he? He’s on Mount Rushmore with Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln.

Yea, I know.

Imagine what is going on now X1000

With the Left, the absolute hatred of Palin is visceral, rabid, and totally beyond anything we have seen before. I know it is really out of respect and fear but still.

We conservatives talk about foaming-at-the-mouth Liberals. But, just the mention of Sarah’s name rebukes them and does, in reality, make them foam at the mouth.

They didn’t foam for GW. They chuckled but the hate was different because they did not respect or fear him like they do Sarah.

It would be more safe to have a Christie/Palin ticket first. IMO

Safe won’t win you the election.

It’s like a challenger stepping into the ring against the champion of the world.

The old saying is: You either have to knock the champ out or dominate him so badly that there is no question who won the fight.

Unnfortunately every one but Palin just wants to go the 15 rounds and “hope” to squeeze out a split decision.

With Palin once she steps into the ring she intends to knock Obama out in one of the early rounds; and if she can’t do she is prepared to go the full 15 rounds and dominate the fight by pounding Obama with persistent body blows to weaken his ability to fight back. by constantly jabbing him to keep him continually off balance, while dazzling him with her footwork and dexterity to avoid his counterpunches. And then for good measure Palin will use her right cross to make the Messiah bleed profusely over one eye.

If Obama wins the fight, it will only because the fight was rigged (by ACORN).

I loved her line about Michelle O telling women to breast feed probably because the price of milk is so high.
