I'm not a Republican.
I'm an "independent."
And, frankly, from what I'm seen of Palin, I'm not impressed. Associating with McCain, her interview with Univision, the hypocrisy surrounding her daughter's pregnancy, her public claim that the Iraq war is "God's plan," and the Wall Street Journal op-ed cosigned with McCain just before the $700B bank bailout in which she promised to protect Americans against more bailouts.
So, until someone actually successfully convinces me that Palin is a genuine small-government conservative, sorry, I'm not interested in any more McCainian-Bushite Republicrat shenanigans.

Next time you decide to repeat your Keith Olbermann talking points on Sarah Palin, remember which national GOP candidate was stumping across Georgia for Senator Chambliss, on the eve of the election. It was not President Bush, former President Bush or Senator John McCain, it was Governor Sarah Palin.
A wise choice, Senator Chambliss.
Newly reelected Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) credited Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin with firing up his base and allowing him to cruise to a victory over Democrat Jim Martin.
Chambliss heaped praise on Palin, saying she has a “great future” in the GOP.
“I can’t overstate the impact she had down here. All these folks did a great job coming in,” he said, referring to former presidential candidates Mike Huckabee and Rudy Giuliani. “They all allow you [to] add momentum to where we were in the campaign. But when she walks in a room, folks just explode.”
Three weeks after the Republican ticket suffered a sweeping defeat at the polls, Sarah Palin continues to dominate search engine queries, cable news and online video sites. The only American politician who generates comparable interest is President-elect Barack Obama. No one else is close.
Human Events named her the “Conservative of the Year”
PAC spokesman Sal Russo said they have received $2 million in donations for the ads, which will start running tomorrow in Alaska and will include a national buy. “We wanted to give Sarah Palin the reassurance that despite the critics, Americans by and large appreciated her service and want her to continue to be a voice.”
He said there was some “back and forth” about whether the political ad would air on the television networks. He said it would air on cable news outlets. In Alaska, the ad is airing in primetime Wednesday.
I can hear all the potential 2012 candidates saying to themselves…”I have no chance to secure the nomination if Palin runs”.
