No one can deny Sarah Palin’s charisma, common-sense approach to issues and media savvy, and few will deny she was an overall plus for the GOP this past election.
However, I find it rare in conservative and Tea Party circles for anyone to support her as the serious Republican presidential nominee in 2012, much less the winner. Conservatives are well aware of Palin’s shortcomings, yet the media seems to be rather blind to them at the moment. In fact, every time I turn on the TV, all I hear the mainstream talk about when it comes to 2012 nominees is that Palin is already the anointed savior.

I more than understand the concern you and people like pissant have with Palin. The problem is that many of us here, myself included, simply detest that the left and their corrupt MSM journ-o-list handmaidens have concocted a meme that Palin is an amiable dunce.
All candidates have shortcomings, but every single Republican candidate is press-molded into the “idiot” template in an effort to indellibly stamp and terminally marginalize.
As you know, they did it to Reagan, they did it to Quayle, they did it George W Bush. It is their standard disgusting way of attempting to ruin somebody and we tired of the same old operating procedure. It is time to STOP.
Sure Palin has short-comings but that doesn’t mean she not qualified.
I think this post following the article nails it:
“It looks like Williams has caught a case of Palin Derangement Syndrome. If Palin wins the nomination, she’ll crush 0bama, for the simple reason that she will actually fight him tooth and nail. Any of the others, Huckabee, Romney, Gingrich, Christie, Pawlenty, will run a campaign very much like McCain, afraid to go after 0bama on anything for fear of being called a racist.
Palin hasn’t let any of the negative attacks on her slow her down a single step, every thing that has been thrown in her path, she has sidestepped, or leaped over, and has always moved forward.BY gah on 12/02/2010 at 11:21”
Columnists just want readers.
Palin is a hot button issue.
If this primary season is like the 2008 one, we should see some candidates forming exploration committees sometime after the first of the year.
Goodness gracious, yes, because those who have been "deemed" qualified for office have done such a wonderful job. We definitely need to stay confined in that box.
“If Palin wins the nomination, she’ll crush 0bama, for the simple reason that she will actually fight him tooth and nail.”

An excellent point.
And this type of courageous behavior will only serve as a multiplier, to further embolden the conservative rank and file.
Indeed, this has already been progressing, gloriously unchecked, since she exploded onto the scene in August, 2008.
Sarah would be an excellent POTUS.
But she may not be a good candidate.
Another good point!
Okay, what is he babbling about? That second paragraph bears absolutely no relation to reality.
“I have learned it is pointless to point out what a disaster Mrs. Palin will be as a POTUS candidate — one ruinous to Conservatives across the board.”
They will either have to learn the hard way or perhaps Palin will surprise us in the end.
Like Limbaugh said....Sara qualified? NOOOOO...I want another 4 years of Obama. (sarcasm)
Really? Seriously? If you don't like Sarah Palin, that's just fine, but you're a better FReeper than to try and push that kind of nonsense. It is beneath you.
How about that fifth paragraph? It could mean one thing but then again it could mean the opposite. On the other hand, maybe it’s the first one. Or not.
Except that it’s a lie. No mainstream media outlet is pushing Palin. They are doing every possible thing they can to stop it.
Is there any question but that Palin is the frontrunner? And that anyone who supports anyone else at this point—whether an Establishment RINO, a favorite son from your home state, or whatever—is aiming his or her fire at Palin and solely at Palin?
It really is quite amazing.
Why doesnt he enlighten us with her shortcomings? I havent heard, apparently everyone knows but us dumb folks out in America.
