I think I’d not vote before I’d vote for Open Borders Walker.

>> “ McCain and Romney were beaten in real time daily via the Obama machines mastery of social media.” <<
.
That is an absurd myth.
They were beaten by the one party system.
Neither McCain, nor Romney were seriously running for office.
Were they running, they would have won by simply delivering the truth about Obama, rather than remaining silent.
They wanted him in office.

Thanks for the link. The Soros trolls are out in force in the comments section. Good speech and well were the listen for true conservatives.

The naysayers on Free Republic are just too much. Mrs. Palin is leap years ahead of the rest. A leader is what we need, not a litigator. She is a born leader. The media was left in her wake, as they could not even grasp her speech. The DNC tweeted, Thank You. They missed it, too. Have not they heard of Martin Luther King? What a great paraphrase?
“Whenever men and women straighten their backs up, they are going somewhere, because a man can’t ride your back unless it is bent.” Martin Luther King

Thanks for pointing out the MLK reference. Listened to the speech again. Yes, most people didn't get what she was saying. She is amazing!

Watched it. My comparison is with Ted Cruz, the other candidate whom I watched. Compared to Ted, she rambled quite a bit. He was bangin out points, bang, bang, bang. She was having a conversation.
In my opinion, the difference between the two highlights the different places they are in, candidate-wise.
Ted is organizing, lining up staff and donors. He needs to show off a “stump speech”.
Sarah is testing the waters. She need only remind conservatives that she’s there.
There were no gaffes. Sarah was stereotypically Sarah. Yeah, she rambled a bit, but not so much as too rise to the level of the dribble that is the cited article.
Btw, the same Byron York just wrote an article about the 2016 race that was essentially ‘Jeb, Jeb, Mitt, Crispy’ and only mentioned Cruz as a counter point to Walker. So, back to back articles: ignore Cruz, attack Palin. Yeah, yeah we get it: we should just shut up and wait until we’re told whom we must support or we’re really voting for Hiliary. Byron, blow.

The GOP will fight tooth and nail against conservatives like her and Cruz while they ignore Clinton

I like Palin.
But we need someone who can decimate Shrillary in the debates.
Ted Cruz.I completely agree. I think Cruz is shrewd and extremely intelligent. I've always loved Palin but I really think her "running" time has passed.
I love the idea that she may be running interference for Cruz (I believe that txhurl stated this thought).

Yeah, what a problem. /s
I don't think she's the best candidate out there -- although she would be a better President than any Demwit prospect -- but if she's the nominee, she's got my vote, my bumper, and my front yard. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

Shes running interference for Ted.
If she doesn't declare sooner rather than later, yes.

more than a few GOP loyalists came away shaking their heads at the performance of a party star...The GOP loyalist are the problem. Like the author.
