Exactly right!
Well, also about 80,000,000 voters.
Palin is by FAR, the best conservative with the most Reaganesque appeal and charisma.
There is nobody out there better than her. She has been through massive attacks from both ideologies and the media.
Yet, she was the only politician of note to take on Obama at the height of his popularity. She is 2 1/2 steps ahead of the political pundits and pros and has put herself into position to be the frontrunner for the GOP nomination.
She’s stupid like Reagan er a fox.
Unless someone like Mike Rounds of South Dakota jumps in, then I’m all in for Sarah. Pawlenty I would hold my nose. But I ain’t voting for no RINO in the general. Huck or Mitt wins the nomination, I’m staying home. This election is far too important to be compromising.
Do you think she’d endorse early? She seems to hold back.
I agree that it would be far better if she endorsed rather than ran.
The EXPERIENCED bar has been lowered with the election of Obama period end of subject.
We are in dire times and I think West or Jindal would be outstanding.
Pence, Ryan,Daniels are good contenders as well.
Pence,Ryan, Jindal, Daniels are all favored amongst Independents.
There will always be infighting in primary time on who likes who but in the end I am confident we will have somebody that can stop Obama from destruction of our country.
And Pence was a legislator. That is the balance I would like to see.
What about Mitch Daniels?
Did you forget Demint?
Exactly what they want you to think...
Ronald Reagan couldn't win, either.
But we need to go with Huckleberry McRomney again, because that works so well.
“Well you know that there’s NO WAY the public would ever support a “has been” candidate for the White House that couldn’t even win the last election. And this candidate, let’s face it, isn’t the brightest bulb.
How could some “B” movie actor presume to think that he could be President.”
. . .
The media has done this before. The Republican establishment has done this before.
Pres. Reagan was the ‘teflon’ President and that wasn’t a compliment; it was frustration that they couldn’t make anything ‘stick’.
How are they going to go after Pres. Candidate Palin? They’ve already tried everything in the book, including going after her children.
Unlike our current pResident, Candidate Palin, on day one as a candidate, will be one of the most vetted Presidential Candidates in history.
Not the best type of candidate. Respect some of her views, but she has a lot of negatives.
I think Sarah undermined her credibility by bailing on the governorship. And I think that is what is reflected in the big polls. She should get elected to another office before trying to run for president.
You’re kidding, right? She was out there endorsing candidates while everyone else was waiting to see which way the wind was blowing.

I've seen polls that show her kicking everybody's asses.
If polls are so accurate, why do we even bother with elections?
Did she?
Or did she change positions to better effectively advance a pro-life, pro-family, fiscally conservative America?
She had outgrown her position of Governor, and her enemies were using it to DESTROY her. Had she stayed on as Governor she would have been bankrupt and reduced to nothing on the national stage.
She would have been unable to confront Obama on national issues as she alone has done fearlessly, even at the height of his popularity. With her stuck in the Alaskan Governorship the GOP might still be the disgraced party of Bush that was counted out as all but dead in 2008. Her fund raising and support literally changed the election map.
To say "she quit" as if she was just lazy or insincere about governing is a false left wing smear and you are pathetic to continue to repeat that absurd talking point.
Seriously, what will you say next? She's "unelectable?"
Yeah, and they said Bristol couldn't dance...how'd that turn out for ya?
I remember that election very clearly as I had just gotten out of high school and 1980 was the first year I was eligible to vote. During the 1980 primaries, many Republicans had a "anybody-but-Reagan" approach as it was felt he was too divisive and extremist in his conservative beliefs. So strongly did some Republicans feel that way that even when Reagan wrapped the nomination up, they supported one of Reagan's GOP opponents in a third party run (John Anderson).
As for the liberal media pundits, they had a field day with Reagan. He was a washed up B-movie actor who was so dumb that he had to co-star with a chimp. Further, he was a loose-cannon warmonger that would surely drag us into WW3. Above all, according to the media elite, Reagan was just not sophisticated and polished enough to be president.
No, 'quit' has a much more negative connotation than 'resign,' People resign, often for noble reasons...but a quitter, well, that is a pejorative that does not reflect the reality of the situation. Talk about 'spin'...
So why do you wish to paint a good conservative in such a negative light?
Who is your candidate?
