I don’t think the GOP would have a problem uniting behind Rick Perry, and probably a number of dark horses as well.
totally agree. it’s Palin or nobody.
Hey, right now I am uniteing around the dictator in Libya.
I agree. I don’t see Palin as unique in that regard. I see Republicans rallying around Bachmann, Perry, Palin and perhaps others.
I would vote for him if he was the nominee but I won’t donate to him.
I agree.
Sarah Palin would inflame the libs like nothing imaginable. When McCain announced that she had been selected, I knew libs that stopped everything to campaign against her. McCain bothered them. Palin terrified them.
Palin cleaned out the Alaskan Government. The RINOs are afraid she will do something similar in D.C.
No one will “unite the country”. We have 20% of the population that are hardline socialists. They won’t unite around anyone who isn’t a socialist.
I believe that Palin alone really wants to reverse years of creeping (and sometimes bounding) socialism. But the liberals who worship Obama will hate her every minute and for every socialistic law and regulation and EO she overturns. Even as the US once again turns toward prosperity, they will hate her and be convinced that she is destroying the US.
Unifying, sure, that’s what we do after a nominee exists. Even if it’s McCain.
But the point of the writer was that Palin has a proven ability to get people to work together for the good of the state, crossing ideology and political party. I’m not seeing that in any other candidate.
bump.
You missed the point. Siskind's point is not that Palin is the only candidate who can unite the GOP, but that she's the only GOP candidate who can unite the American public. She uses Palin's record of uniting Dems, Reps, and Independents to get things done in Alaska as proof.

Thanks The Bronze Titan. Whoops, this got moved right out from under me into Bloggers.
For me, it's PALIN or BUST! Just being upfront. The rest of them are just part of the same ol same ol establishment as far as I'm concerned! Everyone can whine ABBO all they want, but that's the way it is. The country wants to get suckered into BUSH 3.0, then so be it. They can reap the rewards.
Thanks for the ping!
This is no joke. The Mediots have known this since Sept ‘08.
Palin has the magic that can penetrate traditional voting patterns, and that is going to blow up the DC conspiracy for ever.
