let’s face it, most of the Mama Grizzlies sank on election day... but maybe the voters just won’t be ready for them until ‘12.”

IF you are only referring to the ladies that Palin supported—perhaps.

But didn’t her overall support candidates win?

Did not about 60% + get elected?

Did NObamaPelosi have that percentage of winners?

If you think a winning candidate is someone the media seems to favor””

I for one, am to the point where if ‘the media’ supports a candidate—I will vote the opposite.

The value & accuracy of the current media is suspect at best. They only want Liberals elected. I don’t want Liberals anywhere.

There was serious voter fraud in Las Vegas. Harry controls the town. He ordered the cronies at Harrah’s to bus their employees out to the polls & make them vote.

Rather than run for President or Chairman of the Republican Party, I would love for her to create a sort of foundation, coalition, whatever that would support truly conservative candidates and causes”

IF 2012 doesn’t get more CONSERVATIVES into office—look for the TEA PARTY to become the new party for CONSERVATIVES to vote with.

When I voted for President last time, it was for Palin, not McCain.”’

Lots of us did that—including ME.

I remain a staunch Palin for 2012 supporter - see my tagline.

Remember, the DNC/Socialist party and their partners in tge media will trash whoever is the GOP nominee.

Sarah has the advantage of being hit with everything and the kitchen sink and is still ticking. They cannot hit her any harder - she has passed the DNC/Socialist attacks with flying colors.

And finally, sarah has a strong support of independents and any remaining Reagan democrats as her performance during the 2010 cycle has shown.

Sarah is our strongest candidate...and has survived the same attacks that were thrown at Reagan.

Don’t fall for the media line she is damaged goods - if that was true, why would the liberals/press continue to attempt to attack her?

Plus or minus on the thoughts here... let’s face it, most of the Mama Grizzlies sank on election day...

Here is the count I found, Palin did great.

"Mama Grizzlies" roundup: Nineteen of the 25 women Palin endorsed in the general election won, and one race is still undecided.

On that, I agree with you completely. She is a tremendous asset to the GOP and should be utilized.

I like Palin and would vote for her without a 2nd thought in the general election. But, I honestly don’t think she can win. That doesn’t mean I want a more moderate candidate. I want someone like Palin who hasn’t been poisoned by the media.

Maybe I’m wrong and she can win. I’d be thrilled if that were the case.

You have to believe it just because of the numerous articles.

Too many to be a fluke.

Problem is, everyone is falling for it.

If we didn’t, they would see this is fruitless.

Welcome back to freerepublic, this is your first post in over 2 years, unfortunately you are trying to tell us two years out, that our leading frontrunner cannot win in 2012 and that we need to start working to stop her.

I don’t understand that message, right now the only candidates that do any better in these meaningless polls about the current non-Republican numbers are two candidates that have already run for president, Huckabee and Mitt Romney.

The primary favorite of Republicans at this time is Governor Palin, I don’t think that we have to dump her as you do, don’t you think that you are being a little absurd?

A lot of FReepers are missing the big picture. What makes you think Obama will even be the nominee? This election, and Obama’s continued arrogance, have shown that he won’t move to the right like Bill Clinton did after ‘94. The ‘Rats are going to run against the Kenyan in 2012. Hitlery is looking at her last chance, and there are tons of PUMAs and other PO’ed Democrats who will give it to her.

I agree with you on all of those except Inhofe. What’s wrong with him. He’s the one Senator willing to challenge Global Warming orthodoxy.
