So if she doesn’t run do we eat our own like last time so that the weakest possible candidate will get the nomination or do we coalesce around a candidate that might not be perfect, but can beat Obama?

There is zero doubt in my mind that Palin is going to run. That doesn’t mean I support her candidacy, only that I am certain she’ll run.

As far as “eating our own”, to a great extent that’s a natural product of the primary system.

Excellent point. I think that now is the time to get behind a seasoned campaigner who's time has finally come. Harold Stassen!

The later - always. But first thngs first. That’s what primaries are for. Mission one is to prevent the worst candidates from gaining traction and that includes stopping mitt romney. He isn’t one of our own.

If Palin doesn’t run ther eis no other candidate that can beat Obama haven’t you been paying attention.....

No one but Palin can compete with Obama on the issues, on policy and on excitement. Why do you think the MSM has made it their goal for the last two year sto destroy the woman. they know if Palin is gone Obama gets a second term...

depend on the candidate. I’m sick of the republicans demanding conservatives to kowtow to rinos whenever the rino win a primary, but the rinos never back the conservatives when the conservative win the primary e.g castle, scozza, murkowski and their supporters. In all those cases, the rino refuse to back the tea partiers

Sarah has stated, in print and on video, that she runs an unconventional campaign. So don’t look for her to follow the long established script.

I’m not saying she’s running, or she isn’t. I’m just saying that if she chooses to, it will be at a time and place of her choosing, when she throws her “Real Women Hunt RINO” bag into the ring.

;-)
