If the GOP was smart, they would go with someone like Governor Linda Lingle (R), of Hawaii to challenge Obama in 2012.
She's one tough lady. She's really smart, very level-headed, pro-business, fiscally conservative, and yet she supports women's issues, and she's also a social moderate. George W. Bush LOVED her.
Interestingly, she's also Jewish (from Missouri), and was married, although now she's divorced.
She would please conservatives AND moderate Republicans, plus she's got the Jewish vote and I know she would appeal to minorities, since she totally understands and relates to minorities, having presided over one of the most diverse states in the nation.
Wouldn't that be something? A Democratic candidate from Hawaii with Kansas roots, and a Republican candidate from Hawaii with Missouri roots, facing off to be President of the United States.
I'd love to see that matchup.
She’ll get no support until she releases 0bama’s birth records. And then it’s only a maybe.
Besides, Hardly anyone from the mainland has ever even heard of her. No deal.
Governor Lingle, Is that you??
Yep, I had the same thought...
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.
Todd for First Dude! We’d have the best looking First Family ever. :-)
Romney in a dress.
We had enough of these social moderates in the 08 election. Romney, McCain, Rudy, the Huckster. We dont need to go down that road again.
What he said.
It makes little difference if the executive wrecks the country with an R or a D after his name. We need an actual conservative.
I like Palin a lot but let's not be blind to other worthy candidates.
Not convinced this is VK food, but waiting nearby for scraps.
Name one.
Agreed
Haley Barbour.

I have a better idea. Let’s run a real conservative, Sarah Palin.

No Thanks!
In July 2009, a Rasmussen Reports poll indicated that 34% of registered Republicans have a favorable view of him. However, 37% dislike him, which is the highest unfavorable percentage among 5 other possible Republican candidates for 2012: Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, and Tim Pawlenty. Also, 21% of GOP voters would least like to see Barbour win the party nomination in 2012.[51]
If it’s true that she is a pro-choicer as others on this thread have said, that means she belives that social and personal problems can be solved by killing small children.
Can such a person be described as wise?
Sorry, no sale.
So, if Sarah Palin were single but still had the same ideology and accomplishmemts, conservatives shouldn’t back her?
