It’s boarding on nightmare status...
Yeah and no Senator had become president since Kennedy. The funny thing about history...someone, or something will always be the “first”. Sarah has a fine chance of being the first and is exactly what the Repubs need to kick them in the tail IMHO.
15 in the Senate is a stretch, but 56 is a good goal to go for in the House.
When you have two senators nominated, it pretty much sets it up.
Every Republican over the age of 50 or so needs to be off the table...
We need the next generation, the ones raised under Reagan.
Conventional wisdom, until this year at least, has been that Senators do not make good presidential candidates. That still holds true, as far as I’m concerned, but the fact remains that a Senator is going to be president now, the first since JFK.
You seem to want to dampen enthusiasm for Sarah Palin. Why? Are you a Jindal supporter?
LOL!! I bet if we took a vote on here the vast majority would say the same thing — no to anyone who ran in the GOP primary.
I think you are misunderstanding what I am saying. In fact, I was one of the first people on FR who supported her for McCain’s running mate. Me, Titansafc,and Pennsylvaniamom all supported her.
uhhh....I don’t think any of those other VP candidates were drawing up to 60,000 people at times to rallies and 15 million viewers to SNL.
Please do a search on my statements about Gov Palin. I love the woman. I would definitely work for her and support her whatever she decides to do.
I was giving a historical perceptive on those who lost the Vice Presidency.
Wow, you Palin whackos are as deluded as the Obamaniacs. She was a fringe pick who got the conservative base excited, but who brought little to the ticket and few to the polls. She is profoundly unqualified to have been a heartbeat away. Mayor of Mayberry against 30 years in the Senate? If you’re waiting for her to come back in two or four years for a national run, you are deluding yourselves.
I hope so.
Yep, without Plain McCain would have had about 20% of the vote.
Whacko, hmmm, mirror, ah yes.
relax it is not. you can do a search on my statements about her. I have always supported and defended her.
We need another Contract with America (with new name): 6 bills, already written, with congressional candidates signing up in Nov 09 and pushing for an entire year and pledging to drop all 6 to committees on Day One, 2010.
You should use her title, Governor Palin.
Hard to believe that you thought that she was still a mayor, you should pay more attention.
If Palin can’t be POTUS, maybe she’ll be president of the Republic of Alaska.
Was Harry Truman qualified to be President? No College degree and a clothing salesman.
That would be the equivalent of electing a Nordstrom’s sales person today.
