This is a place for us Sarah Palin fans to discuss all things Sarah and the election coming up. Be prepared for the flames throwers who hate her and will do whatever it takes to bring her down democrat and republican. Please be civil. Count to 10 and stay above the muck!!!

Any discussions about 2012 are useless until we get through the 2010 mid-terms. That should be the concentration.

Sarah’s book is on pre-order sale at both Walmart and Amazon for only $9!

They make great gifts and send a great message as to how many millions are pre-ordered.

Just hoping we don’t see a repeat of 2008... you know... like Linus, waiting for the Great Conservative Pumpkin to rise up and all that stuff.

“What happens if she decides not to run?”

If she decides not to run, for me, it depends on who DOES decide to run.
Right now – except for Sarah, I see our bullpen as being completely empty.
I swallowed my disgust and pulled the lever for McCain a year ago. I’m not going to pull the lever for another useless, loser RINO again. EVER – and that includes EVERY ONE of those pathetic losers who were in the primaries last time around.

I supported Sarah Palin even before McCain chose her. I had seen her on Glenn Beck and thought how down-to-earth and knowledgeable she was on energy. But then those interviews with the media! She was not prepared and they had their claws out. I don’t know if she can ever recover. Like Bobby Jindal—after the President’s address to the nation. Jindal sounded just awful. I don’t know if there is a conservative or a republican that believes in the constitution, lowering taxes, balancing the budget, and breaking the hold of the lobbyists. Palin might believe in all those things—but she does not have broad enough appeal.

Let’s talk about how she is going to capture the nomination, of a RINO party most recently “led” by John McCain, with runners up like Romney and Huckabee.
Let’s talk about what we’re going to do when we wake up to count the votes of all the Dems who crossed over to vote for a RINO in the 2012 primaries. Maybe we’ll start thinking about fixing that problem in 2016, if we still have a country by then.

Sarah doesn't have the best/longest resume in the US for a Republican and actually she is similar to O’Bambi in lacking executive experience.

I fear she would govern like O'Bambi being afraid to make decisions and not willing to make intelligent compromises to get things done in Washington.

I like Ms Palin very much. Her heart and mind are in the right place. She is a patriot. Whatever she may now lack can be acquired by 2012. My concern is how she can overcome the demonization of her that has been in full swing almost since the moment of her nomination for VP. Similar demonization will prevent Newt Gingrich from ever becoming president. I agree with another poster who said that we should concentrate on 2010, but if Sarah Palin is to be a viable candidate,her image must be rehabilitated, the sooner the better. She is in the proces of doing that now. How we can help her is another question. We can not count on the failures of Obama to pave the way for Palin, although they may help.

The people best qualified to be president don’t run. Politicians run.

There is no real republican party just a lot of pieces scattered here and there..He in Pennsylvania the party is a mess. It is I I I I Me Me Me. We have some good people in Harrisburg representing us here in Indiana County. Pa needs a republican Party overhaul big time.

I can sympathize with your feelings. I’ve voted in 8 presidential elections and it is ALWAYS a compromise and frequently a defensive vote. Nobody is ever going to agree 100% with me so of course I take the lesser of two evils. At some point though I realized that I’m not going to dig my heals in and say never, ever, ever because that’s more about pleasing me rather than making any kind of difference.

What I suggest may happen is a third party candidate (propped up with stealth Democrat money) and as a result another win for Obama. If a conservative candidate who doesn’t scare the pants off independents can get the GOP nomination then great but I’m not going to toss my vote away on a third party candidate just to feel good about myself. The cost of of 4 more years of Bambi I think is more than the benefit of sticking it to those “country club Republicans”.

An acquaintance of mine is typical of the problem you mention. He is conservative, yet he has a low opinion of Palin based on the information he derives solely from the old media (tv and newspapers). He thinks she’s inexperienced and only got the job of Alaska gov because there aren’t many people up there and anybody could have gotten elected!! He’s one of many people who’ll get a copy of Palin’s book from me, this winter. The local library will get a copy as well. I hope every freeper who can, will buy an extra copy and donate it to their library. It will help offset the disinformation out there.

We have to wait on events. Remember Bill Clinton’s convention speech in 1988. Jindal’s speech will become a distant memory if he is able to establish creds as a competent, small government politician. The Establishment, of course, would prefer someone like the governor of Indiana. Sarah remains the best orator among all the possibles, and she seems to know how to get her opinions out. Let’s see how the book turns out. I guess she will hit both the RINOs and the Liberals. Obviously she is testing the waters with this book.
