Mine too. Palin (perhaps through no fault of her own) is probably too divisive to lead the party to victory on a national level, while Sanford is at least as conservative and offers exactly what we need right now: obvious competence and fiscal credibility that is second-to-none. And there’s no question he’s socially conservative, but his manner makes him unlikely to turn off socially moderate Republicans and swing voters the way Palin and Bush do.
Palin is awesome. These guys are old news and need to just let her lead. She is a real leader.
Sanford is as conservative as Palin-—maybe even more so. In looking at her record, Palin has governed more from the center-right than the far right.
Sanford also has his “Katie Couric” moment in the CNN interview. If/when he runs for national office, the lefties will be replaying that one ad nauseum.
