Obama isn’t going to use a pro-illegal clip against Palin.

1) Why don’t you understand the basics of presidential campaigns:
2) The top of the ticket sets the agenda.
3) When we’re stuck with a RINO at the top it is good that a really conservative is willing to take the #2 spot.
4) Such a conservative will inevitably have to trim his/her sails somewhat to be a team player during the campaign.

I know other FReepers have posted such basics in response to your idiocy on this dozens of times, so it is a wilful denial of the facts of politics that you are displaying here yet again.

On the other hand, I agree that Palin needs to come out strong on illegal immigration and not play the coy games that 90% of even GOP pols play. I like that she stood with Jan Brewer in AZ and I hope she comes out straightforwardly on the issue after she announces.

Understand this, I will vote for Palin if she runs and if she gets the nomination. The fact she said these words means she is flexible.

I see most Palin supporters as putting their own desires and ideals onto her, which she may or may not espouse.

It's also easy to talk a good game when you're thousands of miles away from the problem.

Napolitano said she perhaps needed to provide “more information” to Perry, who has criticized Washington on issues from border security to education to federal spending. “The numbers tell the tale,” Napolitano said. “I would simply say, ‘Look at the numbers.’” Perry has maintained the numbers are insufficient. A day before Napolitano arrived in Texas, the governor sent a letter to Obama and Napolitano expressing his disappointment that Texas would only be given 250 National Guard troops. Perry, who asked for 1,000 troops last year, called the number “grossly insufficient” to cover the state’s lengthy border with Mexico. “Sending only 20 percent of these much-needed assets to Texas is unfair and inadequate,” he wrote. “Furthermore, when you take into account the ramp-up and ramp-down times associated with a military action of this kind, this deployment would support sustained operations for only an estimated four months

Hey 9...

I don't understand all this fuss about someone who "isn't running".

Perry folks should be really worried about Bachmann. Well actually Rollins. Bachmann needs big donor dollars. Perry (in Bachmann's view) stands between her and those dollars. We all should understand that there is no depth to which Mr. Ed will not stoop to promote his candidate (and by extension himself).

Within a month the Republican primary is going to be a blood bath thanks to Mr. Ed. As a result we will get a real glimpse into the soul of his boss.

Popcorn please.
