My entire point has been that by quitting the way she did Palin has destroyed any chance she might have had at the WH.

If it was her intention to quit in order to set up a run then it was a bone-headed move.

If it was her intention to quit and then pursue personal enrichment outside public service then she has succeeded wonderfully.

Real world activity, as opposed to freeper wishful thinking, has proved the second.

In an ideal world sitting politicians would step down once they declare for another elected position in order to be fair to the populace who elected them. I think that ascribing this motive to Palin is not supported by the facts, considering that she did not step down to run for VP and did not declare for any other candidacy when she did quit.

A boatload of folks here define Palin by what she says and by that which they want her to be (a candidate). I prefer to define her, and any other politician, by what she does.

Always, I mean ALWAYS *watch what they do, not what they say*. This goes for politicians even WE like.

And what did Romney do?

Enacted an early Obamacare with abortion coverage in Massachusetts and provided the blueprint for the national plan.

Palin actually did a bang up job cutting waste in Alaska and was an effective governor. Romney managed to get the wheels turning towards the inevitable bankruptcy of his state.

If we are looking for a candidate who has the ability to and the experience in cutting wasteful spending and restoring our national solvency, then we need look no further than Sarah Palin.

Now of the other leading possible contenders for the 2012 nod, what have they ACCOMPLISHED?

And who would you support at this time? Which potential Republican nominee best reflects YOUR political philosophy?
