I will support her 100%.
I like Sarah—but she may be too polarizing. I would go for Rudy—with Palin as his v.p.—because he has a solid reputation as a fixer, a doer, a reformist. As he turned NYC around, he would turn this country around, lowering taxes, restructuring government agencies, firing bureaucrats, getting the public sector out of the private sector. He’s the only potential candidate with solid practical experience with Reaganomics—and his knowledge of economics and high finance—as well as foreign policy—is in-depth. He’s the real deal. He’s also supremely articulate and media savvy. He’s a strict constructionist, despite personal views on some wedge issues—which should satisfy the social conservatives—and he’s electable. He ran 5 or 6 pts. ahead of both Hillary and Obama in national polls—though he had a rough time in his own party. He’s what we need—a blue-stater, somebody who can win over a few blue states where he polls strongly—CT, NJ—and a few purple states—PA and OH. I never could understand why we keep nominating people from the heartland or from the South when we need to make incursions into blue state territory. Rudy could do this. He seems to me the ideal candidate for these tough times.
