By the way, that Couric interview is no longer an issue. Palin has grown up and become more media savvy since that interview. I don't believe you will ever see her mess up like that again.
I think the ONLY Republican candidate that can get elected (if he runs) is Trump. A lot of people already know him. Moreover, with the current state of our economy who do you think the voters would trust more to run the U.S. like a Business? I know Trump is not the “ideal” candidate for conservatives or even Republicans, but is very electable (meaning Independents/Sing Voters coming over). We have to get Obama out of office or he will destroy our Republic. Look what Obama has done in his brief time. We have to do this even if this means electing not the ideal candidate.
Trump can handle the media and press too. He has been doing it all his life. Trump is not afraid to say anything. He has NOTHING TO LOSE (unlike other Politicians) since he is already a Billionaire. I believe Trump can point us in the right direction. I certainly would trust Trump more than Obama on the economy. You can counter balance Trump and bring over Tea party voters by putting Bachmann on that ticket. Trump/Bachmann in 2012 I believe would easily roll over Obama/Biden.
Again just my opinion.
Sarah didn’t mess up with that Couric interview. The McCain team did. It was falsly portrayed to Palin by Nichole Wallace. Sarah did a 3 hour interview which was edited down to the few minutes the public saw. Couric had repeatedly asked her the same questions during the 3 hours [intentionally irritating Palin], then they edited it to show what they wanted.
