And I’ll just add; I’m not AGAINST Palin. I’m not being partisan about this; I’m just doubtful that she can pull it off.

Christie just said that 2012 is too early for him to run, that he isn’t ready.

Yeah, if Christie was a southern governor, he would still be a good candidate. But putting New Jersey in play would make him a game-changer.

Obama said the same thing. And Palin certainly couldn’t use it against him if he changed his mind.

> “The case for presidential-nominee Palin rests upon the weakness of the field putatively lined up against her”

.
Such blindness!

What makes the rest of the field weak is the comparison to the incredible strengths of Sarah Palin.

In a ‘normal’ election, the field would be normal, not weak, but with the chalenges we face and the clear ability of Palin to meet the chalenges, the field becomes weak indeed.

She’s been attacked 365, 24/7 since she was named McCain’s VP and yet she’s still standing, and now standing alone stronger than ever.

Nobody comes close to her.

A Republican who wins NJ wins the WH.

Nonsense. Republicans win or lose regardless of New Jersey.

If Palin chooses him as her running mate, he will suddenly be ‘ready.’

You might want to look up what the moderate Republican said about not running, it was pretty convincing.

Precisely!

Bring on the best competition.

It's our American way.

I really wish you folks would find a real man to be cheerleaders for. A time like this, when we need to get this asshole out of the White House, you’re going to play social experiment and put a not so popular woman as a choice AGAINST oboma...

A "real man" can't get the job done, but a "real woman" who is a Constitutional Conservative can, backed by a conservative House and Senate (at least more conservative than it is now).

Your post makes the point. Men in politics think this is a game, wherein cheerleading and winning is the only objective.

Conservative women who are entering the political arena these days are doing so from an instinctual drive for the survival of their progeny and their nation, something that low-IQ jocks will never understand. This is NOT social experimenting.

Gee, why even have the election then, we’ve already won. (stifled laughter). Guess Obama won’t try and have most of the msm on his side, huh?

Palin 2012.

Do you think he’s a moderate? Fiscally, certainly not. And I saw youtube news videos of him during the campaign where he unabashedly stated he was pro-life.

I think the only issue I noted he was wishy-washy on was “gun control” for NJ on Hannity... and then it sounded more like an apology that he couldn’t win in NJ on an issue with that stance (in other words, he didn’t come across as a true believer in gun control).

I might be way off here; if you have any evidence, I’d be glad to look at it.

But unlike “fiscal conservative Ahnuld” (lol), no one can make the case that Christie is not a limited government Republican... and in order to be a social liberal, it takes fiscally liberal policies to enact that agenda... thus the myth of the “socially liberal/fiscally conservative” Governator of CA.

Since I don’t think they should even be able to vote, what makes you think I’d want one as CIC.

Yeah, but I think the point is that NJ would put one over the top. Can we please just acknowledge some basic political analysis without making it into a “war” of “your guy” vs “my guy”. I don’t have a guy. And obviously, the guy you just replied to already stated that he is a Palin supporter first.

Some of you are seeing hit pieces and “attacks” where they don’t even exist.
