No, I'm not a third party person, but Sarah is still talking in many generalities, and I don't think anyone knows yet where she stands on many issues. The majority of conservatives and Republicans are probably waiting to see who qualifies to run and what their platforms will be. Depending on what does or doesn't happen before the end of this Congress, and how many seats the Republicans pick up, things could look very different in 2011 from the way they look now.
McCain's daughter is not relevant to whether Sarah is a John McCain Republican, or not. Sarah's position on a broad range of issues will determine that.
What office is Governor Sarah Palin currently running for? She hasn’t declared for the Republican nomination for the presidency as far as I know. If she does, I’ll do everything I can to help her, including my oft stated goal of raising $2 million dollars for her campaign. I worked for President Ronald Reagan, and I see some of the same qualities in Gov. Palin, such as charisma, an affinity for the common people, good sense, family values, pro-defense, etc.
