You’re misreading my posts - I like her a lot. I became increasingly disappointed in her public performances though, I have to admit, even aside from the edited interviews, etc. I know she energized the base and brought out the vote to a certain extent, but clearly not enough for us to win the election. Would she bring out more of the base if she were the Prez candidate - this is the question.

I understand this is a conservative board, I’m a conservative who thinks Palin has all the right ideas but maybe isn’t the best candidate for 2012. There are a lot of great conservatives out there who nevertheless are not going to win elections - e,g, Keyes a very well-spoken conservative who also lost to you know who... albeit under hurried circumstances. look at what happened to Santorum, too. We have to be careful who we pick in 2012 even while picking conservatives.

There has only been one candidate that has been inspiring to me and that was Reagan. At 21 it was my first vote. I was for the first time not going to vote at all until she came on the ticket. She has given me hope that we can have morning in America again. This thread is about defending one of our own against some petty bastards who if I ever find out is running a campaign no matter who it is I will work to have them defeated. Start another thread if you want about who you would like in 2012.
