Before Newt was just irritating with his
'I'm a genius attitude". Now he's a pain in the a$$.

Agreed. She has recognition now and 4 yrs to do great things.
Conservatives can win national elections. "Evangelicals" cannot. She'll win the states that Huckabee did in the primary and that's it.

Well, I like Palin, but as others have said, she needs to go back to AK and govern well, study international issues, the economy, tax policy. We absolutely have to have somebody who can immediately and coherently come right back at Obama when he uses his verbal sleight of hand on tax issues. The 2012 GOP candidate must be able to dispute Obama’s premises about who owns and who ought to own wealth in this country. We must have somebody who can forcefully make the case that it is immoral for the federal government to take these obscene amounts of income from upper income taxpayers, as well as argue that it destroys job creation. At least, Newt can take anybody on in a lot of these issues.
I am just not convinced Sarah is the one to pull this off. Before you call me a RINO, or Sarah hater, the only reason I ever had any excitement about the GOP ticket this time was when McCain picked her. McCain was my absolute last choice in the primary.
Also, didn’t she fall in with the “climate change” notion during the debate with Biden and the campaign? Can she back out of this?

Best to be a douche bag that goes to a church that you don’t believe in if you wanna be president right?

She is not the typical bland evangelical conservative. Look at her record. She is far from it. She took out her own party.
To: Sub-Driver
But shes going to be one of 20 or 30 significant players. Shes not going to be the de facto leader.
Probably ture at this juncture only a month past the election. First of all she has the deal with the Governors and bring them onboard. Maybe she will but we’ll see as things develope.

Newt wouldnt be able to win his old Congressional seat. Newt may be the Dem's/MSM's choice...their "John McCain" of 2012. Don't count him out.

Gov. Palin has no legitimate baggage to overcome except the libhags and left-wing media's hatred of her moral and conservative values.
As for Michael Steele, He's a good guy. However an Obama Presidency will set racism back to level’s unseen in America for 50-years resulting in a black man not winning the Presidency in next 100-years, even though Obama really is 50% white.
To: mtrott
Sarah is the only one that can beat Obama in 12. We need to challenge their first black guy with our first girl. That may sound superficial. But a white guy will not have a chance. Neither will an Indian who talks a mixture of New York and Dixie. enough Dixie talk. and no east coast elites.
To: Al B.
Newt may be the Dem's/MSM's choice...their "John McCain" of 2012.Don't know about that but I do know that Newt would stand a better chance of winning than McCain did.

I really do not know what the current Gingrich game plan is but I do know one thing for certain. The plan will change sooner rather than later. Newt has grand ideas and gets all excited about them until something else catches his interest and he latches on to that thought. One never can be sure that Newt will stay put on the Republican side either. He can be as across the aisle as John McCain if stroked right by democrats. Newt is quite intelligent, but he is an idea man, not a leader to be counted on long term. Sarah Palin will find her own way in her own time. It is way too soon to be pushing her into a political corner that she has not had time to assess. Palin learned invaluable lessons with her latest experience in national politics. Basics being to never trust the media, like sweet ole democrat Couric, or any political career campaign workers unvetted thoroughly by trusted family members. She needed the bad stuff to help her with the reality of future political endeavors.

Small government;
balanced budgets;
low taxes (maybe even eliminate some);
strict adherence to the Constitution;
conservative judges;
elimination of such Departments as Education and Energy;
drilling anytime and anywhere,
nuclear plants,
coal plants,
refineries;
elimination of punitve rules, laws and regulations to make it possible for individuals and businesses to do their jobs by providing those goods and services necessary for a vibrant and dollar healthy economy.
Now there is an All American Constitutional Republic Platform if I ever saw one!
Let me know when someone runs for President with that one.
