Daniel Younger Itasca, Texas
Under 45, lover of the outdoors, a Republican reformer who has taken on the Republican Party establishment, has many children, and a spot on the national ticket as vice president with less than two years in the governor's office -- you describe Teddy Roosevelt in 1900 and Sarah Palin in 2008.
I remarked in conversation yesterday that Palin was the modern, female Teddy Roosevelt; pro-America, anti-machine politician, and utterly unafraid of conflict with anyone. She is intelligent, tough, ambitious, and as inspirational as Roosevelt, with the ability to understand, communicate with and relate to the American people. Shes a hunter, fisherman, outdoorsman and conservationist, as TR was. Same political experience, and pro-family to boot.
Moreover, her political enemies are completely afraid of her... just like Roosevelts were.
Palin is one bad colonoscopy away from being President.
Mid East men view women as haram. How does that work?
She’s Teddy Roosevelt in a girl suit! She’s Ronald Reagan in a girl suit! She’s Wonder Woman!
Teddy Roosevelt was a major RINO.
This would translate wonderfully into an ad for the McCain/Pallin ticket. How can word be gotten to their campaign to consider this? It answers all the left-wing media’s carping.
Another case if unintended consequences, especially when McKinley is assassinated.
Bump
I was born in a small in the South, my father was a farmer and businessman and my mother a nurse.
I was educated in the public schools, attended University and attained a BS degree.
I married my hometown sweetheart - we had many children. When my father died I gave up a military career to go home and run the family farm warehouse. I became a leader of the community, serving on county boards supervising education, the hospital authority, and the library. I was elected to the state senate, then 9 years later became Governor.
After serving as governor for 3 years I announced my candidacy for president of the United States. I won my party's nomination on the first ballot, and at age 50, was elected president on November 2, 1976.
I am Jimmy Carter, elected as an outside-the beltway reformer. And by the way- my wife made her own gown for the Inauguration
(PS- let us hope despite the very similar backgrounds and experience, that Palin is NO Jimmy Carter, But when a demo-lib sqeals about experience, fix them in the eyes and say JIMMY CARTER??
Yup, Teddy Roosevelt is more like it. Teddy inspired the Teddy Bear in America’s heart. Sarah will inspire the Barracuda Webkinz playset.

Heres how Ive been bumping Palin/Obama threads.
Sung to the tune of Oh! Susanna, dont you cry for me.
Oh, no Bama, please dont lie to me... for Im off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.
I come from Minnesota with my laptop on my knee;
Im goin to Free Republic my true love for to see.
It rained all night the day I left,
the weather it was dry;
The sun so hot I froze to death,
Obama dont you lie.
Oh! No Bama, dont you lie to me;
I come from Minnesota,
with my laptop on my knee.
I had a dream the other night,
When everything was still;
I thought I saw Obama dear,
A-coming for The Hill.
The smearing lie was in Duluth,
The tear was in his eye,
Said I, Im coming for the truth
Obama dont you lie.
Oh! No Bama, dont you lie to me;
Im off to Free Republic,
with my laptop on my knee.
I fight in my pajamas,
Its plain for all to see.
I aim to be the next Buckhead;
The media all hate me.
I fell in love with Sarah
When my sister bit a moose.
The Guvnors family ate it up
And then they set it loose.
Oh! No Bama, dont you lie to me;
Im off to Free Republic,
with my laptop on my knee.
She loves her sons, she likes her guns,
and Trigonometry.
The media will jump the shark
When Juan makes history.
Well, JimRob knows shell pave the trolls
So controversially,
And Berg will knock Obama down
With friends of Hillary.
Oh! No Bama, dont you lie to me;
Im off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.
I soon will be in Hawaii,
And then Ill look all round,
And when I find his birth record,
Ill fall upon the ground.
But if I do not find it,
This Freeperll surely die,
And when Im dead and buried,
Obama dont you lie.
Oh! No Bama, dont you cry for me;
Im off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee

This went around fast. I got it in an email today!
I could be mistaken, but I believe that you are crediting the wrong person with this message. Each of the messages has the person’s name UNDER their statement, from what I can see on the wsj site.... Therefore, instead ofDaniel Younger Itasca, Texas, I think that it should be Alec Ellison...?
