I remember every Presidential election night going back to President Kennedy.
Oh want a night when Reagan was elected, how proud it was to be American.
Reagan went though all the same things Palin is going though, Can't win the General, Rinos didn't want him, Reagan, always behind in the polls, too divisive, the Bushes didn't like him, The democrates and Carter wanted him to win because he was the easiest to win!
I love when History repeats itself!!!!
Then Reagan was reelected by such a great landslide.
I was just as happy when we thought “W” won” in 2000. Fox called it around 1:30 pm I think. I hated Al Gore. I remember doing a jig with my mother (in her seventies), which she hadn't done ever before. We then started to freak out when they pulled the call back. Well the dems didn't get to steal it. Then 2004 was such a great night beating the corpse-man John Kerry and Bush was the first President in over 100 years not to lose any seat in the house and senate!
But on November 6th, 2012, when I hear “Ladies and Gentleman, President Elect Sarah Palin” !!!!!!
WOW. Oh want A Night!! It will be the Happiest I have ever been on a election night!/
REAGAN WAS GREAT BUT HIS SUPREM COURT PICKS, WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS PALIN'S WILL BE!!
(They say you have to visualize something before it happens.)
Will anyone else feel like this?
This thread is for Palin lovers only!
If a troll or Palin hater posts, please skip post and treat like it was CNN or MSNBC. Change the Station and just ignore.

3. Likeable
I hope Sarah Palin decides to give the Presidency a shot.She can’t do any worse then the clown who’s destroying the country all ready and she’s much better then the Republican Party Blue Blood snobs who think it belongs to them.
If any Blue Bloods run I’ll vote against them.
Palin:
“I’d rather be doing this than in some stuffy old political office”
“I’d rather be out here being free,”
We should not be locked in on one candidate as of now. There are things I like about Palin, other things leave me scratching my head. I think we need to see all the candidates and a detailed list of their plans, before zeroing in on Obama’s replacement.
bttt
Her Supreme Court picks? I doubt that the next president will have more than one, unless they win a second termve got to think that Ginsburg will probably retire by next summer, so her seats going to be filled. Who’d left, really?
I don't see anyone I like better so far, but for me, it's too far out to make a final decision.
Palin / West ‘12
Hey Sarah - put a certified copy of your birth certificate out there for all to see loud and clear!
I’m throwing my hat in her ring. Go Sarah!
sarah will make a awesome prez- i’ve known that ever since she was introduced to america— she got my vote in 08 and she will get it again in 12
The left-wing mocking and ridicule intended to destroy Reagan's credibility as a potential president was intense but ultimately failed, big-time. As I've stated before, Palin isn't Reagan (and this isn't 1980) but she is a principled conservative, has executive experience, is grounded, resilient and has charisma to spare, just as Reagan did in his time. The usual Democrat head-fake of pretending that they really, really want the GOP to nominate Sarah Palin because she's sooooo 'easy to beat' is hardly convincing because it simply indicates what Republican politician the left really fears. Thanks for the heads-up, Democrats.
I would happily cast my vote for Sarah Palin in my state's Republican primary and be delighted to vote for her in the presidential election in 2012. I truly believe Sarah Palin would be a great president and I have full confidence that she could easily beat Obama. That some FReepers still sneer at Palin and act disdainful toward those who endorse her are unfortunate but part of an open forum that has to allow more than one point of view on specific issues, especially potential Republican Party presidential candidates. I'm just a bit disappointed that a thread that clearly and specifically asked for Palin supporters only still draws anti-Palin posts. However, we all make our choices and I chose Sarah Palin as 'my' candidate for president on the Republican ticket in November, 2012.
I’m in. I will work for her campaign and support her financially if I am able. God bless you Sarah.
Anyone who’s been on the many Palin threads for any time would probably recognize me as a strong supporter.
I’m not keen on the tabloidy aspect of her approach, but it obviously works incredibly well. I also understand the reaction of many in the upper-middle class here in the Northeast who are appalled by her family’s apparent standard of education, with her two oldest avoiding the regular college route after high school. But I suspect that is more a reflection of her husband’s level of education and Alaska’s being a working-class state.
Still, I see her as the sharpest, most strategically thinking political natural, adhering to the right governing principles, that we have had for decades.
The North Korea comment has me a little worried, however. It was unclear from the clip whether or not she had in fact confused the two. Either way, I need to see her speaking in-depth and comfortably on foreign affairs in the coming months—just to make sure that my support for her in 2012 is not misplaced.
I think it is important that we coalesce behind a strong conservative candidate early, so we don’t split our vote among our competing favorites—and let Mitt slip in.
So I want her to hurry up and go serious and in-depth soon. If she can thus reassure her supporters and fence-sitters, I think she can become our first truly conservative nominee since Reagan.
Is this what Free Republic has turned into?
Who hijacked Free Republic?
Actually I think the real problem is we split our conservative vote between too many candidates, and the establishment RINO then wins by a plurality.
It happens every election cycle; we all get fired up about different conservatives, and then start bickering back and forth about who is “more’ conservative, strengthening our resolve to ‘not compromise’ our ‘principles’.
All the while the establishment candidate is racking up delegates and moving toward the nomination.
See: Nixon, Ford, Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain, and now Romney.
I am sick of the RINO parade and would really like a real conservative this time.
I honestly think we need to come together early behind a single conservative and keep our conservative base strong and united.
This will be very hard to do with the various factions of conservatives.
To me that candidate is Sarah Palin, but if we split our votes and dilute our power, we will hand the nomination to the establishment RINO, just as we did in 2008.
I’m thinking a vote in the primaries for anyone but Sarah is a defacto vote for Romney.
In for Sarah for President!
I’m ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL in.
