I’d be proud to strongly support Mike Pence, or Sarah Palin, plus a few others.
They are both like a breath of fresh air, and social conservatives, and strongly conservative in every way.
Bonk!
LOL
Pence is a solid conservative. IMO, his tallest hurdle is that no sitting congressman has been elected president since Garfield in 1881.
There have been 17 presidents who were members of the House of Representatives, but most of them served as senators or governors after leaving the House and before becoming president. Garfield is the only one to go straight from the House to the White House. He was one of only three Congressmen to even run for president as sitting House members. the other two were Henry Clay and John Anderson, both of whom lost.
Lincoln was elected president after having served in the Congress, but that was 12 years after he left the House.
Madison was also elected president after having been a U.S. Congressman, but he served 8 years as Secretary of State between the House and the White House.

I need to hear Kate Gosselin’s opinion about this.
I need to hear Kate Gosselin’s opinion about this.
No. She’s not that either. She’s a finger in the wind populist.
TARP, $300 Million homeowners bailout, Title IX, blaming “predatory loans” for the economic collapse, LOST, Amnesty, Carbon Caps, global warming.
They are desperate for someone to emerge and give Palin a fight
ROTFLOLOLOLOL.
Experience in earmarks!
So there.
....bonk!
Am I worried that the Dems are going to cross over and vote for Sarah Palin in the 2012 primaries, because they think she’s easy to beat? Actually, I’m counting on it...the idiots.
I love Pence...
Palin/Pence is fine with me lol.
But, what is instructive here, is that the Establishment supporters are starting to figure out they can’t beat Palin. So, now they are trying to find somebody who is kinda like Palin.
It’s hilarious.
“He represented a “district”, not a State.”
You seem to think that the ‘State’ is vastly different than the ‘district’.
Sure, there are a lot of differences, but population is not one of them. He represents nearly as many people as live in Alaska.
“This candidatate is just like the one you like.”
“No. He isn’t.”
Rich, I meant that I’m worried the rats are going to vote in the GOP primaries for one of Sarah’s opponents in an attempt to deny her the nomination.
it would be unusual for 2 candidates from the same state to jump in. Indiana contributors and party establishment would be unwilling to support 2 campaigns.
So if Gov Daniels is a go, then I don’t think Pence will run. But somehow I think he will get a better response than Pawlenty in IA and NH. Is there any indication that T-Paw has been creating any kind of following in the early states? Seems like he’s caught on like a lead balloon.
It really has come to that point, hasn't it? I knew we'd all laugh about this one day - I just never expected it to come so soon.
....bonk!
Bonk or bong or would that make a person passive and happy?
BONK is more like it.
Stubborn and stupid...lol.
