Really? Look, I’ve been to a Sarah Palin rally, I’ve heard her speak and I know for a FACT that she is qualified! She is an excellent speaker and she relates to the AVERAGE American!

And she is NOT a quitter! How can you say that? She resigned because the liberals were filing Mickey Mouse-type lawsuits against her, consuming over 80% of her and her staff’s time, making it impossible for her to get anything done!

She accomplished EVERYTHING that she promised the people of Alaska that she would do! What was she supposed to do, sit out the rest of her term, deadlocked, do nothing and drink cappuccino????

That’s NOT the Sarah I know! Sarah is always ready to get things done and after she had accomplished EVERYTHING she had accomplished as Governor and after being deadlocked, she moved on. It would have been a waste of time for her to be a lame-duck Governor and do nothing. It would waste Alaska’s resources and do nothing else.

Sarah is doing extremely well, where she is now, as she prepares to go for the Presidency!

Oh, I saw the debate with Biden and she did a WONDERFUL job! Biden lied through his teeth throughout the entire debate and Sarah creamed him!

And she knows QUITE A BIT about foreign policy and the issues; the interivews that were broadcasted were EDITED and pieced back together to make her look stupid! You have to look at the entire interivew, in context, and you’ll see that everything she said was absolutely brilliant!

Answer me this: what makes the RINOs (Romney, Huckabee, Santorum, etc.) more qualified?

They can’t draw the crowds that Sarah can! They can’t get people energized like Sarah can! They are not loved by nearly as many people as Sarah is!

Nope, I’m sticking with Sarah Palin! She’s gonna be our nominee in 2012, whether the RINOs like it or not!

She got hammered by her own mouth against Biden. At one point, she made him do a double-take when she was talking about Afghanistan by talking about "General McLellan" (a Major General in the Union Army and former N.J. Governor) when she was refering to General McKiernan, the commanding general in Afghanistan at the time. If you are going to drop names, you darn well better make certain you are dropping the correct name. I was surprised, but Biden let that one go with a shrug.

On foreign policy all she could talk about was her energy policy and her understanding of the energy industry...important certainly, but not nearly enough to demonstrate a clear understanding of foreign policy.

She was as much of a fish out of water in that debate as Obama is in residing in the White House.

At her every appearance she failed to impress me...with the sole exception of her magnificent performance at the Republican Convention. I give her full props for that, it was a tour de force, but that is not sufficient for me to support her candidacy unless she is the only alternative available. That contingency is not even close to a reality yet.

Yes they were harassing her...miserably and unendingly, but that was a test of her mettle...a test she failed. You don't quit just because your political opponents are attacking and harassing you, you continue to fight back, you persevere...you don't simply quit.

I'm sorry but her excuses don't wash with me. If her opponents are costing the state money, then you find a means of pinning the responsibility on them.

Being President requires a degree of toughness that probably no other job demands. Having quit as governor, she must now prove that she is tough enough to hold the most demanding job in the world without being just another Obama...from the right rather than the left.
