Please, PLEASE don't fall into the celebrity to choose a candidate. We've been through this too many times to do this again. Palin is one candidate not THE ONE! There is no “ONE”. That's what the socialists used to describe Obama. What makes conservatives different?

Palin is endorsing Rick Perry for governor in TX (where I live) instead of the Tea Party candidate Debra Medina. Rick Perry is what is wrong with the Republican party and one of the reasons why I left it.

If you vote Republican no matter what they do, spend, or vote, then by all means don't let me stand in your way, but if you want to return this country's government back to it's original position don't be swayed by the media anointment of any one candidate. Read, listen, observe ALL candidates and THEN make up your mind.

fox-one - so very well stated. I understand and totally agree with your comment and caution. We got caught up in the lather that Ross Perot generated, and our votes for Perot helped Clinton get elected.

Our opinions are that the current situation is so bad, that anything or any one looks like a breath of fresh air compared to the current garbage pile in all of congress and the White House.

Our opinion is that both parties are bad - one is simply worse than the other.

Regarding Palin, we think she has so very many of the characteristics of Thatcher. We have followed her closely. We are so very familiar with her schools, cities she has lived in, people that we have met that respect her - and for the same reasons we do.

I have no knowledge of the current Texas political system, but having lived and voted in San Antonio for several years in the '70s, I doubt if the political garbage heap has changed that much.

I think I will vote for Medina because of the ugly way Perry treated former Justice Steve Smith. It was SHAMEFUL, and I have not forgotten.

Maybe I am wrong, but I don’t believe there was a Tea Party when she committed to Perry.

Palin is a viable candidate no matter what party endorses her. She is a turn around, away from socialism, without a doubt. No matter what you think she is about, she is not a Washington beltway bozo, like many that have come before. She is a good start to getting back to grassroots thinking in this great country. Stop ‘looking a gift horse in the mouth’ and let’s get behind this movement. If it doesn’t work out totally, there’s always time for change, but not if we let any more pop culture Marxism to reign in any longer.

Rick Perry was VERY supportive of Sarah during the VP campaign and afterward--do you remember the Republican Governor's convention that threatened to turn into an MSM attack on Sarah when it was her turn to answer questions? Perry put a halt to that crap almost immediately when he saw they were starting to gang up on her--she's learned a lot about handling the media since then and doesn't need anyone to watch out for her anymore--but I think that, like McCain, Sarah has LOYALTY to those who have done good by her for the most part, and her endorsement of Perry and McCain is proof of that. The best candidates of course will win wherever they run, Sarah knows that, regardless. TEA partiers are doing their research this time around, and they are smart enough to not just vote for someone because someone else endorsed them.
