Palin will easily blow away the usual crowd of Republican suspect sadsacks in the primaries, and Newt and the boys better start getting used to the idea immediately. Comments like his, and those of various worthless unnamed staffers reveal why the party is in shreds. Wake up and smell the coffee, Newt.

***I agree. At least Newt had the courage to go on record. That sets up a future battle where the unnamed RINOs support Newt, which could prove interesting.

We have a long time to go, and lots can change. But you are right that as things stand right now none of the current batch of clowns stand a chance against her.

RINO, wannabe conservative candidates, journalists, Democrats all have a personal interest in seeing her wiped out. The perfect storm.

She has a LOT of headwinds and it may be hard for her to find establishment money. But she has the people and if she puts together a "Dean/Obama-like" financing scheme then she will win. Oddly enough, a "Dean/Obama-like" financing scheme is exactly what the party needs.

She may surprise.

We better blow away the usual crowd of Republicans. Most of the “usual” are worth about as much as an empty glass. 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.
