Pence is part of the inside elite that we are fighting.

Besides, he has no experience whatsoever. It’d be Gerald Ford all over again.

"“Pence is Palin with gravitas. Pence is Palin with experience,” adds Brent Bozell, chairman of For America."

Brent Bozell, dirty rotten RINO traitor.

Wait, what?

Pence is good but he doesn’t have gravitas senoritas.

All I heard there is that we can trust him. Why?
All I heard there is that he is reliably conservative. Why?
Has he been vetted by the finest tooth comb in the history of politics a Srah has?
Has he got a real, no-shit record that really says trust me?

Will he draw ten thousand people in the middle of a field fifty miles from nowhere and get them ready to work like dogs for him?

Sarah will.

So why this guy?

Good looking. Executive hair. Has he been turned inside out yet?

Sarah has.

Pence will do no better than any other Congressman before him. That's why he'll run for Governor of IN and become an instant A-lister in the future.

If he shows his hand early and runs for President as a Congressman, he will never hold any higher office than a Congressman because he will be seen as a guy always looking for the next stepping stone, and too ambitious to take a serious route to the top.

I like Pence too much to see his star fade that quickly, and it will if he decides to become the latest Congressman buried in the GOP Presidential graveyard because first holding a statewide office was just so beneath him.

Hey I have always liked Pence! And I am a fan of Brent Bozell, but I am not so sure that it`s accurate that Pence has more experience than Sarah...I challenge!

As for gravitas, Sarah has plenty! These guys are buying into MSNBC/CNN etc

Having said that, Palin Pence in that order would be fine by me.

Dick Armey is a ass.

The biggest threat to Sarah Palin in the primaries is cross-over democrat voters who may try to sabotage her chances.

Sort of like Rush’s “Operation Chaos”....except this time, it’s aimed at conservatives.

Pence might have good philosophical foundation, but Pence has NO EXECUTIVE experience in government, and after the trial-and-error POTUS of the last 2 years, I don’t think the country is much in the mood to elect a former House member who has no name recognition outside of IN and FR.

Update: A commenter reminds me that Palin said she won’t run if no other satisfactorily conservative candidate steps up. Well, by virtually any measure, Pence would qualify as satisfactory

Yep.

Mike Pence a former attorney, former radio talk show host, and Congressman since 2001.

Small "w" wow...

There is no way a House Rep has any shot of the Presidency. He has no name recognition. No executive experience. He has an embarrassingly thin resume. Lawyer, talk show host and House Rep. That is it.

He needs to run for bigger office and prove himself. Great Conservative, but that is not a qualification for leadership. Plus where is he going to get the money and favors to make him competitive in the primary?

Anyone remember Duncan Hunters failed attempt.

Sarah has been vetted by many freepers. She ain’t a conservative.

Pence is one of the people I’ve said all along I could support, along with Palin and DeMint. We could certainly do a lot worse than Mike Pence. Neither Jindal or Rubio will or even should run, and Christie is absolutely a non-starter.

“Pence is Palin with experience”

Pence has no executive experience whatsoever.

He is a smart man with good values, but Palin has better experience for an executive job.
