Yeah... show me a succesful presidential candidate running all on his own, without a party to back him up.
Since you dislike Palin, you apparently would want her campaign to fail.
We are now delving into the murky area of the politics of sinful and often faltering and unbelieving men. Abraham Lincoln, the father of the GOP, had some ambivalence in his policy concerning chattel racial slavery, which we today universally recognize as a grave evil. He told the Southern slaves they could go free, but refrained from a similar declaration for the Northern slaves, in what was more a calculated military policy than a moral one. What is a “real Republican”? Any we have today would top Lincoln on that moral issue. I’m sure you want excellence in carrying out a political calling more than hewing to some sinners’ standard which never was cast in finely machined steel. And God can bring about that excellence in solitary or in the presence of worthy or unworthy men, assuming we have enough data to even judge who is unworthy.
