If Mao were running against Obama, I’d vote for Mao. I don’t care what anyone has to say about anyone running against the Zero, especially someone not declared.
So, what is the upshot here if Palin does not run? We beat the tar out of Perry and Romney? Clearly Backman is not ready for prime time and look at the rest of the field...Cain has some possibilities but was woefully unprepared in his first debate about foreign items; Santorum could not win his Senate race in Pa; Gingrich has more pimples than a teenaged chocolate abuser, and Huntsman is the darling of the MSM for the GOP. Rubio has taken himself out more than once and the straight talk RINO from NJ is exactly that but he says he is not running either.
If Palin does not run (or waits too long), then we are screwed. Perry is our best alternative and we have half the freepers ripping the crap out of him with 15 year-old Texas Democrat talking points.
