I know this sounds a little out there, and I hope I don't get flamed (I'm putting on the safety suit anyway), but what if Sarah Palin doesn't run ?
I'm not saying she won't, I'm not hoping she won't, If she does, I fully intend to support her, but what if she does not run?
Who would you support in the primary then ?
Personally, I'd probably go with Michelle Bachman, but I know some would support Huckabee (personally, I'm not a fan of his), some would support Romney (and I will NEVER ever support him), others might choose Hermain Cain, or Governor Mitch Daniels, or Former Speaker Newt Gingrich or Congressman Ron Paul....
I'm interested, does anyone have a "back up" candidate in case Palin doesn't run ?
The GOP will run a socialist and nothing will change.
There are too many “vote lesser of evils to defeat democrat” republitards out there who lack the balls to vote for true reform in a third party candidate.
I do not think either Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann will run.
Sarah’s negatives are too high and Michelle isn’t sufficiently well-established.
I am opposed to Romney, Huckabee, Gingrich, and Trump.
Herman Cain is unimpressive to me. I like him but there’s just not enough there.
So far I feel left with Pawlenty and Daniels. If no one else gets in I can settle for one of these two.
Either can beat Odumbo. Neither will be as big a catastrophe as McCain would have been.
That and a Tea Party-driven GOP Congress and we’ve got something to work with.
I think she’ll run, but just in case, my back-up is Bachmann. If Bachmann takes a pass, too, then I’ll go with Herman Cain.
Hermain Cain! (Maybe Palin will still take the Sec of Energy job).
The “right” people know that DC must be gutted and field dressed.
More than 1/2 of the functions DC has created are unconstitutional and counter productive to the nation.
Cut Washington by 1/2 and if any of the eliminated functions are worth keeping let the states assume them.
We are approaching hunting season for Traitors of all stripes. Commie Dems, RINO Globalists, “career bureaucraps” and the perpetual leaches that power centers draw.
What needs to happen is to make Congress and the Senate telecommute most of the year from their home district. Under the thumb of the electorate and away from the Lobbyists in DC. It is 100% doable now.
I first proposed this to a POL in OKC about 15 years ago. It would have worked then, but is a no brainer now.
The Texas legislature meets every other year. There is no reason for the Congress and the Senate to be full time in DC. There is no stipulation in the Constitution other than that they will meet at least 1 time per year and it does not state duration.
It is TIME!
easy there Dr. Venkman
She definitely won’t get elected as the first female president.
Things change, circumstances change, and she may have her own reasons....
Thats why the question is "What if" she doesn't ?
As long as we're playing "what if," there are lots more important things to play what if with.
What if an asteroid hits the earth, for instance.
So go to the asteroid thread and post there, why don’t you?
Shouldn’t you be wringing your hands in fear?
What if Palin had never supported Juan McCain in 2010?
Why would I be?
She would be a lot less rich and famous, that’s for sure.
Oops. Misread your post to say 2008. Nevermind.
What a nightmare scenario to contemplate.
If for some inexplicable reason Sarah stayed out of it, I’d start looking very hard at Herman Cain.
Of the field, he has the best score on the ideological purity test, and has extensive real world executive experience. The man’s also got the same sort of guts that Sarah has.
She’d better run, though. Millions upon millions are counting on her to be there for us.
There are too many “vote lesser of evils to defeat democrat” republitards out there who lack the balls to vote for true reform in a third party candidate.....
Thankfully, that’s not my history. Unfortunately, my candidate lost because I had the b#!@s, and Obama won. But since America is now infested with communists in high office and 49% of our population is on entitlements and handouts, it is more important to pick a winner this time than a loser. We can’t risk four more years. Voting down Obama by having to support a winner who doesn’t pass my purity test is hardly cowardice, it’s courage.
She will.
