From a dedicated conservative: please do not vote for Palin in the 2012 Republican primary. This is no slam on her, but she is not intellectually capable to handle the responsibilities of the presidency. In fact, she wasn't up to the job in Alaska. We're talking about the most difficult position on the planet. We'd be talking a huge leap of faith - similar to what the country did when Obama was voted in.

I can see why Palin is popular - primarily because she stands by here beliefs. However, she would be a lousy president. She is perfect where she is - on television.

“I can see why Palin is popular - primarily because she stands by here beliefs.”

You just committed a gaffe in the above sentence in your critique of Palin. LOL! I say we ban you from FR for the good of Conservatism...;)

When you say that Palin was not up to the Governor’s job in AK, can you please cite some examples, rather than making these sorts of generalizations? How in the world could she have had a 70% approval rating in AK, if what you are saying is true?
