Actually, she has more than a little more experience; maybe almost the same amount as GWB had! (if you count the time she was in as Mayor of Wasilla) But nobody should deify anyone as the perfect conservative leader. They are human, and can still disappoint their followers!

Sarah could be a wonderful conservative leader, like R.Reagan and G.Bush were. But let them do anything, and slip off of the conservative pedestal just a little, some of their supporters will turn on them in a fury! Yes, they did it even to R.Reagan and G.Bush! Heck, people turned on G.Washington and J.Adams not a few years after their terms began!

People on here have already seemed to forget that G.Bush and Dick Cheney ever existed as national leaders! They’re still looking for a political “god” or “saint” to follow!

George W Bush was governor of a state that has four cities (Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin) that have bigger metropolitan populations than the entire state of Alaska. Texas has almost 30 million people. Alaska has just about 680K, it's only the 47th biggest state in the union, with a total budget of $2.9 billion. Texas has a budget approaching $170 billion.

It's a bit fanciful to claim that Palin has "maybe almost the same amount (experience) as GWB had".

I don’t believe GW was a very good conservative leader. He was great for the war and defending our nation, but so was FDR and Truman.

GW was a Republican first...and did things to help the party more so than help the cause (at least he thought he was helping).

There’s a big difference in motivation. Doing things to win political favor vs. doing what you believe is right and best for the country.
