"but she just needs a huge education and fast."

Well, perhaps she is a bit too trusting, I'll give you that; but I think you are basing that statement on the fluff interviews with couric and the press.

Sarah is very smart, and knows a lot more than has been publicized by the press. The MSM is trying to "Dan Quayle" her by still repeating the "Africa/Continent" gaff - which wasn't true as admitted by people who were in the room when the incident took place.

And people are still appalled at the clothing bill thing, even though she had nothing to do with that either.

My reaction is for the democrats and the press (and the mclame and romney camps) to get out of the way and let us see just how much she does know.

From her record in Alaska, she seems to be a force with which to be reckoned...but we won't hear much about that.

Obama heard that in all 57 states he visited, and per Token Joe Biden, Roosevelt announced it on TV back in the 30's.

More Sarahs. Fewer Arnolds.

“There are WAY too many talented young Conservatives out there to cast our lot with RINOs.”

Talented older conservatives Thompson, Hunter and Tancredo didn’t exactly set the world on fire, agree?

The MSM and the democrats will pick Huckabee to be the GOP nominee in ‘12

Considering the kind of baggage he carries, the Mexican consulate in AR, the stuff about his son hanging a stray dog, Huckabee using his office to strong-arm the investigator, the attempt to garner some goodies as gov by claiming them "wedding gifts" just to mention a few, I can see the lamestream latching on to the guy in order that the GOP once again has a weak candidate, one that will not motivate the troops to support. I think you may well be correct.

If they do pick Huckster than I pray we lose. That is how serious I am about that idiot.

Frankly, I don't know that you would have to pray all that hard.

[Digger]

Palin, Jindal, Cantor, Pence, Steele, Sanford are going to be our top players.

These are good picks but we have the RINO element which goes for Huck & Romney. I'm going with Jindal with either of the 4 above mentioned as V/P.

[bigbob]

Precisely - Palin-Jindal. I don’t care how brilliant he is, he’s not Sarah, and she’s the one who even the dopes who flunked the Ziegler-Zogby questions know about.

There’s a reason that millions of people got excited about the GOP in the past 2 months and it’s not Bobby Jindal.

[E. Cartman]

I would need a lot of convincing to vote for Huckster. I would have to be completely DRUNK!!!

Then in '12 the GOP may have to have Huck-voting-parties, where they get voters liquored up real good before a designated driver takes them to the polls.

[napscoordinator]

ROTFLMAO. That is exactly what it will take.

[darkangel82]

He seems pretty sane to me. Maybe it’s you that is the lunatic.

[MozarkDawg]

As for Palin, if I were her I wouldn't run in 2012 if you paid me megabucks. Actually, she could make enough now from speaking and book/movid deals to retire comfortably for the rest of her days.

I personally would not like to have her wasted with a pres or veep slot. My advice, let whichever GOP'er who wins the next presidency name her Secretary of Energy, earn herself some points with these numbskull-Washington-elitists. Not to confirm their idiocy, but to give her a chance to show that she is not what the media made her out to be in a national manner. Plenty of time for her to run for the Executive Office later.

[E. Cartman]

Considering the kind of baggage he carries...I can see the lamestream latching on to the guy in order that the GOP once again has a weak candidate, one that will not motivate the troops to support.

Are there any politicians from Arkansas who aren't grifters?

[buccaneer81]

Talented older conservatives Thompson, Hunter and Tancredo didn’t exactly set the world on fire, agree?

Thompson showed he really didn't have his heart in it. As for Tancredo and Hunter, they're never going to get traction as conservative House members. Sarah would have fallen into their category as well, except, luckily, she was brought to the forefront by the nominee.

[SENTINEL]

There are 50 perfectly good states in this country. We could 1000 years without another Candidate from Massachusetts or Arkansas and be better off for it.

I mean, really, do republicans really think that a man elected Governor in the HOMESTATE of the KENNEDY's and JOHN KERRY is going to represent us in the White House ? Mix in the secret hatred of Christians by Mormons and we'd be even worse off.

Christianity...is a perfect pack of nonsense...the devil could not invent a better engine to spread his work than the Christianity of the nineteenth century. – Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 6, p.167

"There are those outside the Church who say Latter-day Saints do not believe in the traditional Christ. No, I don't. The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak.” – LDS President Gordon B. Hinckley (LDS Church News, June 20, 1998)

Go Sarah Go !!

[E. Cartman]

He seems pretty sane to me. Maybe it’s you that is the lunatic.

Well, if you think casting out demons a normal, healthy pastime for a college student, remind me not to stand to close to you when you begin rolling on the floor, frothing at the mouth and speaking in tongues.

[buccaneer81]

let whichever GOP'er who wins the next presidency name her Secretary of Energy, earn herself some points with these numbskull-Washington-elitists

So the 'Rats and RINOs in Congress could shoot down and ridicule her every idea?

That's a set-up for failure.

[darkangel82]

You won’t have to worry about that. Shall we zot you now or later?

[penelopesire]

We need to focus on getting control of congress in 2010 first. I am leaning heavily towards Jindal at this point though with Sarah on the ticket.

[TitansAFC]

[svcw]

Nope Palin/Jindal.

[E. Cartman]

You won’t have to worry about that.

Gonna zap me with a little Lou'siana voodoo?
