Yet Sarah Palin, who with 17 months remaining in her single term as Alaska's governor quit the only serious office she has ever held, is obsessively discussed as a possible candidate in 2012. Why? She is not going to be president and will not be the Republican nominee unless the party wants to lose at least 44 states.

Nail on the head.

November 5, 2008, huh? Since you were assigned Free Republic, do you get an office or just a cubicle? Or do you just sit down at the local Starbucks? You all getting dug out of all that snow in Chicago?

I hear Michael Savage, Richard Cohen and George Will and others rail against Sarah Palin, but do they ever offer an alternative besides another RINO, if that.

Folks, I am a conservative and I am open to the thoughts of the esteemed political scribes who propose other conservative candidates to consider but when they appear to be remiss in suggesting a name and why that name would win the GOP nomination over Palin and Romney and thus never want to enter that arena but turn it right around and bash Palin again I become dubious of their intentions. Suppose Palin like George Bailey in It’s a Wonderful Life wasn’t born, who would be your conservative champion in 2012? Tell us, we would like to know. We really would.

More like nail on your head, cause you are not making use of the brains that God gave you.
That particular canard has been discredited long ago.

The hard core Palin worshipers on FR are just a flip side of the same cult of personality that got OZero elected.

If someone dares mention her weaknesses as a candidate, they're automatically and vociferously called names.

Endless platitudes about "getting the government back on the side of the people" ring about as true as "hope and change".
