Sorry, but I don't really see much evidence of her conservatism.

Then you're either not looking, willfully ignorant, or don't understand conservative issues. Besides being conservative on pro-life and Second Amendment positions, she is for smaller federal government. She has a very strong stance against corruption in both business and government, and her record on this is further strengthened by going after corruption in both parties. She is for a smaller federal tax burden and a simplified tax code. She is extremely pro-small business. She supports a very strong national defense, and she is against nationalized heathcare.

Yeah, she's good at taking vague positions policy that are hard for anyone to disagree with, I'll give her that.

Seriously, is there a single politician who says he's for bigger government? Is there anyone who says he's against small business? Or for nationalized healthcare?

Sorry, but a few vague statements nearly everyone agrees with doesn't a cosnervative make.

A conservative fit for the presidency proposes specific policies that are based on conservative principles and then argues for them in a persuasive manner. I have yet to see Palin do that.

But who knows? Maybe she start doing that in a couple years. If she does, she'll earn my support.

She has a very strong stance against corruption in both business and government, and her record on this is further strengthened by going after corruption in both parties.

She deserves credit for that, I agree. It doesn't make her much of a conservative, however. Curruption is not a conservative or liberal issue.
