True but it makes it tougher when the candidate herself / himself gives them ready ammunition, like blanking out on specific questions in a high profile interview, winking at the audience during national televised debates and doing an “aw shucks” or “say it ain’t so” routine, etc. Same thing happened with Jindal’s response to Obama. His profile dropped like lead after he gave a rather schoolboyish rebuttal.

I say whoever the male candidate is in 2012 let Sarah be vice president nominee to bring in that homespun heartland vote. However in today’s world you HAVE to get the Reagan Democrats and many of them won’t vote for someone like Sarah whom the mainstream media constantly portrays as dumb.

You are still missing the point.

Every candidate has their gotcha moments.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, either from the left or the right or the center does not stumble in some high-profile manner during their political career.

That animal does not exist so your concern is rather useless concerning Sarah and maybe even insincere, but I hope that is not the case.

The media will leave the gaffes of the candidates they want to win alone, see the 57 states comment by Obama and other statements that got absolutely no airtime and also the numerous gaffes by McCain, and Mitt and Rudy that got relatively a lot less airtime than gaffes by conservative like Reagan and Sarah.

Like I said before, we need a fighting conservative that is not going to play the get-along games that the other so-called conservatives are fond of playing hoping to neutralize the media and moderates in our own party.

We need somebody who is going to hit back hard like Sarah does on a regular basis.

Somebody who is going to stand their ground and fight for what is right, not stick their finger in the wind to try and find the sweet spot on the issues where they think they will get the most votes.

In short, we need a principled conservative willing to fight like hell!

That conservative is Sarah!

I like Sarah personally but I really feel she is damaged goods, and most of the damage she has done all by her lonesome.

I like John Thune. He is handsome, articulate, conservative, and an up and coming leader in the party.
