I thank you for your opinion about Palin--it's as valid as any at this point.
Like I said, my number one criteria is who can win. We must win, if there is another election.
But this brings us to another point, there are two themes that run through FR. One is to hate the Republican party and the other is to love Sarah Palin. NOW, if Palin runs for president, isn't she going to need a healthy, unified Republican party? So why would we deliberately weaken it? It's not in our own best interest.
It’s not in our own best interest.

Our own best interest is often times not the same as the national best interest. With political parties they encompass a large cross section from liberal to conservative. Often times the side that isn’t in the controlling group at the time plays a very small role in that years election effort.
2016 will provide an interesting primary season on both sides with no incumbent in the mix. Who knows what Biden will do but I don’t think he’ll be the democratic nominee.
The GOP is wide open but I’m sure some are building on their potential base as a place to start. Some allegiances probably will become more evident as the 2014 elections come into focus.
Have a good day.
Gee, did I say I wouldn’t vote for Rubio? Before you go off half-cocked you should slow down, take a deep breath, and read what someone has written before you jump to conclusions.
Rubio is not a conservative, but he will get the Republican nomination in 2016. He will not beat the Democrat candidate, who I do believe will be Andrew Cuomo.
I live in Illinois, so, as in 2008 and 2012 it really makes no difference at all who I vote for, because there is no way in hell a Republican is going to carry Illinois. And the only state Rubio would carry in 2016 that Obama carried in 2012 will be Florida, and that is not enough to win the election (EVs, you know).
