There are second-tier candidates whom I’d be just as excited about. DeMint, Bachmann and Cain, for example. But I believe that none of those have a chance. Bob
I respect and admire all of the candidates you named, and would support any one of them, should they win the nomination - but - none of them has the executive resume or character qualities to compare with Sarah Palin.
I see Sarah Palin as the very best of our best. When it's time for war, you don't nominate tribal councilors or village elders to the position of Chief Hun, when you've got Attila in your ranks.
Not only do we need to win the battle for choosing the next Chief, that Chief must lead us to victory against the Horde, and everything that stands against us. I only see one warrior amongst us with the right kind of grit to do this.
