I really like Palin, and I would support her if she runs. However, I don't think she will and I do not think she can win the WH for the Republicans. She now is so polarizing, and has had so much bad press...I know, much of which is just a bunch of Liberal lies. But, just the same, the GOP needs a really strong uniter who hasn't been so "victimized" by the media and even the GOP old gang. Yes, Palin has a huge following, and many strengths, but I don't think she would bring in enough votes from Independents or cross over Democrats who are displeased with Obama to take back the WH for us. I would like to see her in some important role, but just do not feel she would make it to POTUS and we would get stuck with Odumbo again.
I like Herman Cain a lot, also, but he seems to get little coverage and I don't think he has raised enough money to put up a good campaign fight. Cain would restore sanity, moral values, pride in our country...and would be an excellent role model as well as the problem solver he has been and could be. However, he has made some mistakes that might plague him...not that I disagree, but there are those who would make huge issues out of some of the things he has said.
All in all, however, I would like to see almost anyone but Romney get the nomination. JMHO
