GO SARAH GO!
I believe she is, and will be best positioned to help us take back the GOP and our country starting in 2010 and then capping it off in 2012.

The first Republican straw poll of the 2012 campaign got underway Thursday morning at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C.
Before the three-day gathering of conservative activists began, the straw poll's creator, Fabrizio, McLaughlin and Associates, would not release its wording.
But we've now got our hands on it.
As conference attendees walk into the Omni Shoreham Hotel ballroom in Washington, DC, they are invited to fill out a questionnaire.
The presidential preference question asks: "Thinking ahead to the 2012 Presidential election, who would you vote for as the next Republican nominee for President?"
It then lists ten options in alphabetical order: (1) Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, (2) former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, (3) former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, (4) former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, (5) Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, (6) Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, (7) Texas Rep. Ron Paul, (8) Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, (9) former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, and (10) South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford.
Conference attendees are also invited to write in someone else or to indicate that they are undecided.
The questionnaire also asks conference attendees to say whether they are "generally satisfied" with the field of potential candidates or whether they "wish the GOP had a better field of potential candidates."
Six of the 10 candidates being tested for 2012 are appearing at CPAC: Gingrich, Huckabee, Paul, Pawlenty, Romney, and Sanford.
The other four -- Crist, Giuliani, Jindal, and Palin -- are not attending.
Straw Poll results will be announced on Saturday at 4:30 pm ET.

The Republicans need to be spending years in a Show-Me State before they even THINK about thinking about 2012.
Sarah Palin in 2012.
Zero is the one still campaigning.
The money “guru” Newt Gingrich, my pick. I really wish the entire administration would disappear and we could start all over tomorrow...
If it’s Charlie Crist, I’m moving to Costa Rica.
GO SARAH GO!
I believe she is, and will be best positioned to help us take back the GOP and our country starting in 2010 and then capping it off in 2012.
Hopefully it will soon be IMPEACH OBAMA from the overwhelming voice of the citizens.
Hasn’t Romney won the last two or something?
I live in FL...I’ll join you down there!
This is very crude, but the only 'ball-less' Republican I want at the head of that ticket is Sarah Palin. I am tired of these pandering metrosexual, intellectual or religious artifacts dominating the very core of conservatism with a jaundiced eye of disdain and condescending patronizing acknowledgement. IT IS EITHER HER OR NOTHING! They, these RINOS and pussies can wander the wilderness for 40 years for all I care.
I don’t think I will make it in this nasty economy until 2012. God help us all!!!!
When this recession hits West Texas.. you know we have hit the bottom.
Love your site, btw!
#7: Rep. RON PAUL!!!!
Wow, I’m shocked — SHOCKED! — he was even allowed to be put on the list. I’m sure they will correct that “mistake”, however.
Poll results on Saturday when no one is watching. Oh well, it doesn’t matter anyway.
Please spread the word. The more info we can get out about Governor Palin's background and stances versus the info we also must get out on the marxist Obama...the better.
FREEDOM 2012
Brother, you are preaching to the choir with that. I would’ve voted Libertarian last year if it were not for Sarah on the ticket. All the g**damn McCainiacs on THIS site who were blasting people for not supporting that damnable RINO (McCain-Feingold, anyone?) really tweaked me and there was NO way I was voting for McLame until Sarah got on the ticket. I voted for SARAH and I will happily do so again! And the detestable ‘moderates’ can go pound sand.
