If you are speaking for yourself quit using the term we because you include me when you do!
Fine! We (except Freeper dalereed) would rather have a conservative win the White House in 2012, even if that conservative is not Sarah Palin. The last thing we (except Freeper dalereed) want to see is Barack Obama re-elected. Therefore, we (except Freeper dalereed) think we should be careful about nominating a candidate with unfavorable ratings higher than 50% in the polls. It would be certifiably stupid if we (except Freeper dalereed) chose a candidate who might be adored by the base but not desired by the majority of voters, thereby keeping a socialist in the White House for another four years.
