Woo-Hoo!!

[sargon]

Doesn’t Coulter realize that Christie is weak on the Second Amendment?

[Lazlo in PA]

Let’s get real here. Ann is a booze soaked instigator. If the Chardonnay dried up, she would be done. Levin is a solid guy from word one. He is the best annalist of these sort of things. Plus you have the added fun of his rants against RINOS. Mark is dead on.

[Jonty30]

Let Christie finish fixing New Jersey, then he can seek the presidency if he wants.

[Blue Jays]

We are a shallow and fickle nation.
Many people would not vote for Chris Christie based on his obesity alone.
If he undergoes weight-loss surgery, we'll know something's up.

[winstonwolf33]

I’m with Ann. Palin has no shot. Let’s be realistic, people.

[upsdriver]

I completely disagree with Ann Coulter, she’s underestimating Sarah Palin. While I respect and admire Coulter, she’s wrong about Palin. Sarah Palin is the only true candidate that we need for President. Republicans can not nominate another establishment Republican. We need a Tea Party candidate, such as Palin or Bachmann.

Mark Levin read my mind. Palin is my presidential choice because I want to see Michelle stay and raise hell in the House. We need good tea party conservatives throughout government.

[The Wizard]

Go Mark, I’m with you....

[Moorings]

I have a few concerns about Chris Cristie on some key issues. However, if he is in the VP slot on a Palin ticket, it could make the election very entertaining.

[Huck]

When will my dear friend Ann start to address the substantive problems with Christie

Levin, like his jabbering buddy Ann, BOTH completely miss the point: CHRISTIE IS NOT RUNNING IN 2012. That's the end of the discussion. Everything else is just blah,blah,blah.

OTOH, what are the odds that Christie gets asked to be the VP on the GOP ticket? 100%. What are the chances he is the FIRST choice? 100%. But he has ruled that out also, saying there is NO chance. In fact, he says not just in 2012, but that he would not consider being ANYBODY's Vice President.

Which makes sense to me. Real leaders don't want to be second banana. So, in short, this is much ado about nothing.

[ilgipper]

What’s interesting about Ann’s analysis is that she was in Romney’s corner last time in 2007 and 2008. Now she’s completely dismissing him as a loser.

[dforest]

I think if Palin or anyone else wants to run, they should run.

That is what we have campaigns, debates, and primaries for.

Let them show their stuff and then let the people decide.

We might all be surprised.

[OrthodoxKirkPresbyterian]

Sarah is my choice for first lady president. She would make a wonderful choice, and definitely more experience governing than Obama

[NoGrayZone]

I may disagree w/ Ann, but still love her.

“I especially love her for her enemies, I’m insanely jealous of that,” Coulter said. “I love her for how she makes liberal heads explode. I think it would be a step down for her to run for president,” Coulter said, adding that she admires Palin. “She’s huge. She has enormous power. She sends out a Twitter on death panels and everyone’s talking about it.”

She is correct on that point. Even Sarah said she doesn't "need" a title to help save America and incorporate change (look at what she has accomplished already).

With that being said, I WANT Sarah to run, but that is up to her. Sarah said if no one else steps in, she will.

From your Gallup Poll link:

"Now that the 2010 midterms are over, the big question swirling around Palin is whether she will run for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. Given her high name recognition and broad popularity among Republicans, 80% of whom now view her favorably, she is clearly in a strong position to seek it." _______________________________________________________

Also from my Gallup Poll link:

53% of independents view her unfavorably

That's the crux of the matter right there. It's these apolitical, non-ideological, mushy-headed registered voters who refer to themselves as "independents" that, unfortunately, have the power to swing an election. A portion of those 270 electoral votes are in swing states, y'know. I WISH there were more solid red states like Texas...but there aren't. I WISH there were enough conservatives in the country to effectively render the independents/swing voters irrelevant...but there aren't. I WISH she had enough persuasive political power...but as we saw in Washington, Nevada, and Delaware, and her own state of Alaska, she doesn't.

That's what I mean by "let's be realistic".

No paternalistic condescension intended.

Again, this is not coming from a hatred of Sarah Palin. She would make a GREAT President. I would LOVE to see her kick Obama's a$$ in November 2012. (Imagine the reaction by the MSM! Katie Couric wearing all black the next day! The View ladies! xD)) But I just don't think she'll win.

I was wrong to say she has NO SHOT at winning, but I will say she has LITTLE CHANCE of winning (at this point in time, anyway. Who knows what the future will hold?)

[Ron H.]

I'm just about at the point that if Ann is against something these days then I might should look into why I shouldn't perhaps support it. Here of late it seems Ann is awful busy climbing in and out of bed with some very strange (alleged) Conservatives that do not (even pretend to) represent me and my families values. In short, Ann has most of her credibility of late with this conservative.

[reasonisfaith]

“I think it would be a step down for her to run for president”

This doesn’t make sense. Which is it—Palin can’t win or it would be a step down for her?

If Coulter is sincere, she wouldn’t say this. The most potent political platform is the presidency. You can’t step down to it.

I’m convinced Coulter has a hidden agenda.

[kroll]

I think it would be a step down for her to run for president

Wow, I don't think I want what Ann Coulter is smoking....since she is clearly off to la-la land!
