The trouble with the three-headed monster (Palin, Limbaugh and Cheney) is perceived hypocrisy (IMO) when it comes to morality and patriotism. I loved Palin as a voice for morality and motherhood, but she was done in by her pregnant, unwed daughter.

Huh? We have clear proof that Palin believes and lives by what she says on abortion. We have clear proof that Palin believes and lives by what she says on the Second Amendment. We have clear proof in many other areas that Palin is an honorable person with solid values. Palin has governed Alaska responsibly. Palin is a great speaker. But because her daughter did something stupid and then kept the baby, you'd disqualify Palin for higher office? There is no hypocrisy in raising a daughter who doesn't do as you have taught her 100% of the time, and I have no blame for Governor Palin on that topic. We should not run from a perception, not when that perception was created by the media to stop the best hope for conservativism and freedom.

Thanks, but instead of waiting for the perfect, I will "settle" for someone better than any other possible candidate I have found, someone who is likely to beat Obama in 2012, hopefully in time to save the United States as a free country. Palin strikes me as that best possible candidate. I will consider others, and I expect Palin to earn that nomination rather than being coronated, but she's very likely to get my vote if she stands up for her beliefs for four more years.

Huntsman is for Huntsman... always has been. Rich daddy, lazy bum as a kid... got his GED instead of a HS Diploma. His 4 day week for state employees in Utah is his shining achievement and it’s caused a lot of disruption to the public and no savings. He’s recently mandated that building contractors and subs are required to provide health insurance for all employees in order to do business with the state. Sounds like someone that Obama would like....

Despite the fact that you and I both like Palin as a candidate, she'll never be the standard bearer to carry the fight to Obama in 2012 for the following reasons.

She heads one of the least populated state in America.
She was shown to be a political novice when it came to parrying critical barbs with the mainstream media.
She was too (mis)defined by the caricature skits on SNL, Letterman, etc.

My ideal candidate now is Gen. David Petraeus.
