....seems the RINOs have something to worry about.

Despite losing the Vice Presidency and quitting as governor of Alaska barely halfway into her first term, Sarah Palin is extremely popular with the Republican base but far less so with elected Republican officials. How come?
Professional Republican politicians are scared to death of her. She would be an extremely formidable candidate in the 2012 Republican presidential primaries, but they know full well that if she is the GOP nominee, she's going to make 1964 look like a real squeaker. A substantial fraction of the Republican voters will then vote for Obama or stay home on election day and nearly all the Democrats and independents will vote for Obama. It will be Armageddon for the GOP.
Go get um Sarah!
Well, I imagine John McCain would vote for Obama under those circumstances, but who else?
Yes she is.
....seems the RINOs have something to worry about.
What be more fitting is Sarah endorsing JD Hayworth who is making noises about running against McCain.
If Palin’s candidacy will be “Armageddon for the GOP,” why do all the liberals wet their pants at the mention of her name?
NO way jose, this is only what the Rats like to think. This is wonderful news because voting crossover in primaries, the Rats will help Sarah Palin to the GOP nomination.
She knows something about powder and how to keep it bone dry in the frigid fields of moose and polar bear. Palin is going to be America’s sweetheart in 2012 and beyond, and Bummer a cast aside has-been.
LOL.
Is this some sort of left-wing website? It appears to be extremely biased.
Palin the RINO Killer! That could be the campaign slogan.
BS hit piece disguised as analysis. Serving 2 1/2 years is not “barely halfway.”
Gee, I wonder...
I’ve been thinking about 2012. I hope over the next few years someone new comes up from the Tea Party movement. As much as I like Sarah, she has some baggage (some of her own accord, and most from libs). I just want someone fresh and fired up. I don’t know who that is. It’s not anyone of the front runners.
2012 is going to be interesting.
More scare tactics: they are assuming that everything will be love and cotton candy in Obamaland in 2012. I don’t think so.
I agree. She’s a good woman but not the one we need to run ..Never happen
If that is to be, it will need to be someone who can at least speak his (or her) way out of a paper bag. Many otherwise well credentialed conservative darlings, unfortunately, can’t do that. It is arggggggh frustrating. Sarah is the closest thing we got to a second Reagan.
I’d disagree; she has got a goodly amount of that E. F. Hutton mojo (when she speaks, everyone listens). She doesn’t blither all the time, using up her political capital. She shoots arrows at the heart of targets and hits them.
Can we cut these 2012 wet dreams short and focus on 2010??
Palin is not running, Romney acts like he’s dieing to be president and leads in worthless straw polls. But December 2010 is the time for worrying about it (Romney isnt doing crap for us , screw him)
