No, this is jot a joke. Not kidding, not joshing ya, not The Onion. Esto no es un chiste y yo se que Vd. no puede creerlo. As the GOP is now reeling from an election campaign where its clear failed Presidential candidate and increasingly self-discredited-by-mouth Mitt Romney ignored, turned off, or neglected to woo key growing groups the GOP needs to survive .as the GOP is soul searching about ways to offer a more affirmative and positive form of politics that offers solid specifics rather than warmed over talk radio riffs or lines seemingly grabbed from blogs Charlotte Allen in the L.A. Times suggests what it really needs is: Sarah Palin as its 2016 nominee.
"The Republican Party has been doing a lot of hand-wringing and finger-pointing since the presidential election. Half the conservative columnists and bloggers say the GOP lost because it overemphasized social issues such as abortion and gay marriage. The other half says the party didnt emphasize them enough. And everyone denounces Project ORCA, the campaigns attempt to turn out voters via technology.
But Ive got a suggestion for cutting short the GOP angst: Sarah Palin for president in 2016.
You think Im joking? Think again."
She makes her case in detail and says:
"Some Republicans will say Palin has too much baggage from 2008, and we need to look for a new Sarah Palin."
Sarah Palin has so much baggage TSA is opening a new office to inspect it.
"But I dont see whats wrong with the one weve got. Ever since the 1990s, Republicans have been looking for the next Ronald Reagan. Reagan is now revered in bipartisan circles, but during his presidency he was, like Palin, ridiculed by liberals. They cited Bedtime for Bonzo and sneered at his no-name college degree.(continued)

That's a nonsensical approach. The media will tear apart any GOP candidate -- for goodness sakes, they got a huge part of the country thinking Mitt Romney was a raving right-winger -- so by letting that be a barrier to entry, all you are doing is letting the media pick the candidate.
Yes.
I agree.
We need Palins in the WH — that’s this country’s ONLY hope. Maybe we can have Todd as the nominee in 2016 and Sarah takes over after his second term — that way we have 16 years of repair.
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
