And go from there.

Washington (CNN) - "America's Toughest Sheriff" Joe Arpaio passed on running for governor earlier this year, but the Arizona lawman who has become a national figure for his tough stand on illegal immigration is not closing the door on a presidential run in 2012.

I like it! Executive experience. Personal combat field experience. Ubbeatable frugalness! Experience in the limelight. Vetted.
Imagine the fear our nation’s enemies would have if this man became Commander in Chief.
It looks like the primaries have started full swing just about.
Palin will have serious contenders you know and the timing MAY not be right for her.
Palin is fantastic but Bachmann may not be as damaged.
Try flipping that around or adding Bachmann who is undamaged.
Palin is brilliant regarding energy but don;t know if she should be the top ticket. I keep changing my mind on this.
With a reputation for following the law, all the law, and enforcing it fairly. Doesn’t waffle his words and speaks directly to the point.
He is good at what he is doing and needs to continue. Since CNN is the source of this, I have doubts as to the actual veracity of this. It is more likely that they are “manufacturing” a story here.
I agree. He would do well with independent voters. This is the key.
??? Meaning that Palin is damaged...? How so?
That would be mixing soda and vinegar. Rove is a complete open borders nutball and La Raza appeaser.
I agree, Arizona needs him. He’s good at what he does. It would be great if he could use those same skills in a broader sense - as in the entire border.
And go from there.
no.....he should stay in AZ and keep doing his good work.
unless we get a good Republican in office, then make him in charge of INS or Homeland security.
I think that’s the best news I’ve ever heard.
Oh yeah he’s not a politician - that because he’s not a liar, or two faced, or poll driven.
NOT Presidential material - It’s about time we have someone that is a president with a backbone, sense of right and wrong and not afraid of what people think.
It’s only the liberal minded people that wouldn’t want this to happen. General Patton move over there’s a new Sheriff a comin!
Good guy, but no thanks. This one is Sarah’s.
OMG WTF LOL!
He's showing the Justice department how big his d--k is.
If they don't back off they are going to be beaten about the head and shoulders with it.
Arpaio is a Republican.
As if we don’t have enough of this trend of promoting people out of the jobs they’re great at just because it’s a ‘step up’ in the world.
He seems to be just where he’s most needed, and doing a job no one else would be doing as well. If he has to move on, he should stay in the state as our man on the ground there, fighting the good fight. I don’t see why people think just because someone is good at one job that it automatically means they can lead a nation.
