Palin better move away from the McCain position on amnesty or she is toast. I spoke to one of her influential supporters at CPAC and he agrees. He is trying to arrange a trip down to the border for her in the coming months. It is her Achilles heel.

If she persists in legalizing the status of the illegals, I will work actively against her.

Although I love Palin, her amnesty stance is a deal breaker for me. I won’t vote for anyone who is pro-amnesty for illegals. Every.

(And here we go assuming that there will BE another free election in America; I have my doubts.)

As McCain's running mate she was compromising on a lot of her stances, including the bailout. Also look Joe the Plumber's statements. It was McCain's campaign.

I agree that by 2012 she needs to clearly address her position on the the border and immigration.

If she touts a McCain/Bush line we can still support another candidate. But I concur with you that this could be a deal-breaker.

Oh BTW... legalizing the status of the illegals... I fear that's going to happen already under Obama.

Illegal immigrants will receive amnesty long before 2012 so it will no longer be an issue for her.

[Clemenza]

Amnesty, a hatred of the “idea thing,” and ignorance of much of the world outside of Alaska (which contributes to her views on Amnesty, btw), make me highly skeptical of “Palin 2012.”

Palin needs to back off the populist crap too. I cringed when during the VP debate she was attacking
Wall Street and the oil companies. There is nothing wrong with working on Wall Street or being in the
energy business.
