At this point, even “Mongo” Biden could beat The One.

My wife says that if Palin is the nominee, she'll just not vote.

But she just hates Palin with a passion. To be honest, I think it's largely typical female cattiness

You need to beat your wife more often. S/off

Yes, women, not men, will be Palins’ achilles heel.

Its disgusting and sad, but women are catty and jealous and will not come out for her. Its awful.

Look at Connecticut for Gods’ sake! I really think women are totally nuts with their voting behaviors.

She does? Or does the Tina Fey caricature have a very low favorability among independents? They’re not one and the same and Sarah will have the ability to prove it.

Very low approvals among independents. She has to take at least what W did in 2004. Can she? I don't know , nor do you. Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I would do every thing in my power to support her run for President of ‘MY’ United States of America!

She is the ONLY person who can save us!!

I think you missed my point. The public does not know Sarah Palin, they know only the caricature that has been portrayed of her in the media. Everyone, for example, “knows” that she said that she can see Russia from her house. Of course, she never uttered that sentence. She does have to fight against the media smears and really let them have it when they lie about her, then there’s no way she could lose.

I am not wholly sure about Palin as president....having said that, of course I would support her with my donation and my vote...

but 2012....its really hard to dethrone a sitting messaih....it will be very hard to do unless things keep getting worse...

My favorites of course are Marco...Kasich...Col West...Scott Brown....Rudy...

but I would hate to waste a good candidate on 2012 if the cards are not there....

Sarah Palin is the guts of the Tea Party and the number one reason we've taken over the House and a lot of state houses....she's a hero for doing so when many men wouldn't lift a finger to change things...

but president?.....I am not sold...

We’re facing a potential embarassment of riches in 2012—there are several excellent prospects.

And what is the reason your wife won’t vote for Palin? It really ticks me off when we have elected true morons like Obama, Palin, Pelosi, Reid - and somehow we have allowed people to say stupid things about Sarah Palin?

Reason? It's emotion. She believes she's trying to come off as cutesy, and at least part of the negative vibe is basaed on the fact that Palin is attractive. Whenever an outgoing, good looking woman enters a room, you can be sure that at least some of the women present are going to be shooting eye-daggers at her. Now, my wife is very attractive, but she's not immune to that. So like I said, it's basically cattiness. And I think she's far from the only female who has a problem with Palin based on something similar.

Like I said, I'm personally not a fan of Palin as a candidate, but it's a no-brainer that she is preferable to any conceivable Dem. I've explained that to my wife, and that's the only reason she'd abstain rather than vote for the Dem. And yup, I know all the counter arguments. They just don't work.

I understand, between you and me and everyone reading this, Im not completely sold on Sarah Palin for president after seeing her Alaska special. I think she comes off as a little too silly, her husband seems like the tough one but ....

It’s just like people who avoided Bob Dole because he was “too old” or whatever. I would have taken Bob Dole over Bill Clinton evry election. See my tagline. I will take a Palin administration over a democrat every time. It is the policies that matter. With liberal democrats you will have horrible policies.

Thanks for sharing. Tell your wife she better vote republican.
