ABP - Anyone But Palin. I know, I know The left leaning media will make any GOP nominee a baby eating, woman beating, homophobic, religious nut job. But Palin is sufficiently poisoned to a LARGE percentage of the voting block that she simply would face too great of an uphill battle, IMHO.
A new face has a MUCH better change to get a greater percentage of swing voters.
You mean like Reagan was? In case you don't remember, RR was the most maligned, ridiculed, and generally scorned by even his own party until 1980. Heck, he was even mocked in rock n roll songs!
What got him elected? In 1980, he took his message straight to the people through half hour TV spots, featuring him in a study reviewing the constitution and our Founders intent. The people responded by making the GOP put him on the ticket, and although the Left still mocked him and tried to tell the people he was a crazy extremist with no experience in foreign affairs, etc. he won by a landslide in 1980!(Even though the media said he was trailing in the polls!)
I believe Sarah is laying the groundwork now; getting her message out through her books; getting facetime on FOX; campaigning for GOP candidates (to placate the “good ole boys”). She's going to be a Juggernaut in 2012!
Finally,
DON'T LET THE LEFTISTS TELL YOU WHO IS A VIABLE CANDIDATE!
Remember McCain, and Dole?
