I love her conservative instincts. The day McLame made her the VP nominee I sent in the largest campaign contribution I have ever sent. I will happily vote for her if she is the nominee.

But I have concerns about her electability. Don’t be a knee jerk flamer of me as anti-Palin ‘cause I’m not, but I’d like to see a senario of how she can win. The base will vote for her. That’s 30%. But we need another 21% from so called independents most of whom are not very politically aware and who get their information from the MSM.

Someone give me some confidence regarding national election electability.

I agree. We have to decide if she is Goldwater 64’ or Reagan 80’. It would help if she would say something in a forum other than Fox or Facebook.

Newsflash...that conduit is eroding more and more every day.

McLame, as you call him, is the only reason she has a political superstardom. He gave her a stage. He made her a millionaire.

This is what a campaign is for. Politics is not static. People change...minds change.

And the purpose of a campaign is for a candidate to make the case for themselves. To allay any previously conceived false notions...to instill a sense of purpose, determination, drive, passion and patriotism... to articulate a vision for America.

If/when Palin announces, she goes from speculative candidate to candidate. That will automatically change her stature. Then as she campaigns, people will see her wearing her “candidate” hat, traveling across the country laying out the case for Sarah Palin.

Either she makes it successfully and is nominated...or she doesn’t, and she backs someone else.

But for anyone to decide two years out that anyone is or isn’t electable when no one has had one day as an actual nominee strikes me as silly. I don’t understand why some folks feel the need to I guess dissuade her or anyone from running.

Let them all run and let the one who makes the best case win. You can see by my tagline who I want it to be but if not her, let that person be a solid constitutional, common sense conservative.
