“I just think Palin is going to embarrass herself one time too many with her ignorance of political history and her 10th grade verbal skills.
She’s popular because of her star power and good looks, but there are far better conservatives who could lead us and not offer so much real fodder for ridicule.”
I have to agree. Maybe if it were any other election, we could roll the dice with her, say 1996 against Clinton’s second term when there wasn’t as much to lose. I understand people’s passion for her, I felt the same way for Reagan (still do actually). But if Obama is not defeated, Obamacare becomes the law of the land, and the chance for repeal is gone. The reality is that she’s too polarizing and we need someone who can beat Obama. Period.

Great points! We need someone with as many strong fighting skills as possible. Palin is weak on the 10th grade verbal skills side.
I was totally smitten by her and jumping for joy at her nomination speech in 2008. She shredded Obama to pieces in that speech. But that was so perfectly-scripted and we have now come to learn her shortcomings.
We need another “Great Communicator.”
And as I’ve said, Michele Bachman is one. DeMint is another. Mike Rogers is a third.
