He's a fine asset, but let's get real: no Congressman is going to win the nod. Not mine, not yours, not Ryan. it's not going to happen.
He need to run for Senate or Governor. Then he'll be a realistic choice.
I ain't the one writing reality's script, my FRiend. It may suck, but it's the way it is.
When the Dems told Politico what to write: ‘he runs the risk of attracting legal challenges after the 2010 race.’
Of course a Politico article is propaganda.
Barbour is a very good man.
I guess you're in the minority then.
Sarah Palin in Searchlight, Nevada, March 27, 2010
No chance. Period.
Slow ticket sales force Palin appearance to smaller room Originally booked for the 2,900 seat Moran Theatre, she will now speak in the 600-seat Terry Theatre.

Trying to make it look packed...and call it 'sold out' spin spin spin
Put him in as the Carl Rove on a Palin/Jindal ticket. The article is right on the effect of tobacco/lobbying background on the public in general.
Nonsense. If that is the way it is, how did we get a community organizer with two years in the Senate as our President? The only other sitting senators to become President were Harding and JFK. Garfield was the only sitting Congressman.
If we continue to limit our thinking to conventional or past solutions, we will never get off of our current path to failure.
The National Park Service said Thursday that it has approved the permit for the Aug. 28 Glenn Beck/Sarah Palin rally at the Lincoln Memorial.
Park Service spokesman Bill Line said the permit indicates that organizers expect 300,000 people to attend.
You realize that the one event being made smaller is a charity fundraiser and not a political rally, right?
IIRC when Haley ran the RNC, it was extremely successful in fundraising, and keeping on message.
Because he was young, black, charismatic, had all the right Chicago and Ivy League connections, and had been groomed by certain elements within the Democrats for a presidential run as a hedge against the Clintons, beginning with his keynote speech at the 2004 Rat convention in Boston.
Palin came out of the 2008 election rebuilding the demoralized conservative movement, her first big efforts were displayed in the December following the election, for a long time it was Palin alone, and then the movement started growing and Republicans have made massive gains in winning national favor and energy.
Palin has been more responsible for this than any other single individual, your statement is absurd in the face of the facts of the last two years. Palin is gaining for the party and this female voter push recently is something that conservatives have dreamed of for decades.
We have the least qualified President in history and we have no idea as to exactly who he is. You seem to credit the Dems with his success, but the GOP nominated the oldest first time Presidential candidate in history who became the presumptive nominee of the party with just 31% of the primary vote. Moreover, McCain ran a terrible campaign refusing to go after Obama's vulnerabilities, e.g., Rev Wright, the lack of disclosure on his personal life, etc. And on issues like cap and trade, amnesty, drilling in ANWR, closing Gitmo, etc. Obama and McCain had the same positions. The American people were offered an echo, not a choice.
And Mitch Daniels isn’t a bright light either. If Lugar is the one singing his praises, it does not impress...
I think the fact they didn’t go with Blackwell indicates the RNC is more RINO friendly.
Also, one big problem, IMO, is the R’s wading too far into the religious grass. Constitutional types/fiscal conservatives don’t necessarily back a social conservative agenda. Candidates can be socially conservative in their private life, but it’s all about the Constitution, IMHO.
Paul Ryan really, really does not want the job. His kids are too young and he’s flat out said so. He’d be a FANTASTIC Speaker of the House and in time VP candidate to get some executive experience.
You sir, are 100% correct. Thank you!
Yes I do.
The seats are cheaper than at a political fundraiser.
The more she associates herself with Beck the less a political contender she is.
She was a last minute addition to the Beck show/rally wasn’t she?
“You could tell Haley was going to be leader when he played Little League BB in Yazoo City. He is in the big league but still has those same characteristics.”
And, you...WKB...are one who should know!
He is one crafty and intelligent guy!
I would love to see him and Sarah in cahoots. ;o)
