I wasn't called in; I was just reading the thread. SoConPubbie is perfecly capable of defending the points being debated.
You are right that the election is more than two years off and nobody has declared yet. But potential candidates appear to be starting to lay the groundwork.
I have a short list of candidates that I consider conservative and I hope will run. I'm observing what they say and do, so that come primary time, I'm armed with enough information to make an informed decision. Sarah Palin is on that list, as well as several others. I fervently hope we don't have anything like that "Rudy McRomney" field we had last time around.
My gripe with what is going on here is that I see a small but spammy group that has made it clear on other threads who they really support. And they seem to be denigrating Palin in order to support their own agenda, not for any interest in our country obtaining good leadership next time around.
I could be wrong, but I doubt it. I've been observing for a while and I've seen the spammy little pattern. Palin appears to be the "flavor of the month." I'll be watching to see who they go after next.
If you are correct, then I would agree with you. I have no agenda.
I am just waiting to see the who will enter probably after the 2010 elections. None of them will be lily pure, so I will point out their flaws too.
Palin is a nice lady. I like her spunk. She has made some mistakes and I don’t cover for them.
However, if she is up against Obozo in 2012 as our candidate, she would get my vote.
