Now is the best person to do this Sarah Palin? I do not know. However, I lean towards saying yes.
Your instinct is steering you right, and here is why I think that's so.
Not only does Palin have the correct ideological orientation for most conservatives, she has honestly lived and governed by those concepts. Her twenty year track record of public service is replete with examples of her dogged determination to actually live up to her conservative ideals, despite what it might cost her, both personally, and professionally.
She is that rare public servant who really does take their oath of office seriously, and works tirelessly to live by their promise to do so. She has remained uncorrupted by her acquisitions of the reins of power, and has steadfastly maintained her personal integrity while doing the people's business.
More than all that, she has the natural leadership qualities that attract people to her, and the ability to inspire them to be better people themselves. She has courage and fortitude in unusual measure, which coupled with her unswerving devotion to our basic American principles, is a force too pure and formidable for some people to easily handle.
Others on the national stage may have their stellar qualities, but none has so many as she, nor in such great abundance. What none of them have, is the quality of her spirit, which cannot, and should not be underestimated. I see in her, someone with the potential to be a leader on par with the greatest figures of our nation's history. I saw that in her, the moment she first came into our national consciousness, and she's done nothing but reinforce that perception, ever since.
Sarah Palin was born for such a time as this. She has the precise personal attributes, experience, and orientation, to accomplish what must be accomplished by this country's next president.

There is NO doubt in my mind whatsoever that she has “personally” lived by correct concepts...her giving birth to Downs Syndrome child being a prime example. However, I keep hearing (yes I am talking “hearsay”) things about her governance in Alaska that I am not so sure about....NOT in fiscal matters but moral issues. For instance...DID she really sign legislation extending marital benefits to homosexuals in State employment? IF that hearsay is correct, she does not sound like someone that is not necessarily morally consistent in her governance. I hope the calumny about her is false, but I would like to get to the bottom on it. IF she is “homosexual” friendly (even moderately), then she is not someone I can vote for. I do not think homosexuals require special law protections (hate crimes) or any recognition of their status by the government to include domestic partnership....or health benefits as if they were married.
