I would vote for Bachman over Palin, she’s more of a leader.
I know she’s a favorite around here, and that’s fine, but my gut feeling is she cannot win. She has been so demonized and made into such a polarizing figure that her entering the race would energize Democrat voters to vote against her.
She would be much better as head of the NRC - and start in November, clearing that house of it’s corruption and deadweight, and rally the voters and other politicians into SUPPORT, which is what is most needed in 2012. ‘12 is going to be the fight of the millenium, and I just don’t see her winning. ‘12 is not just the Presidency, it’s also a lot of Senators who are sitting this one out, like Pelosi.
Granted, I don’t see anyone else out there yet, but there’s time.
I will state, however, with full conviction, that if the RNC is stupid and sleazy enough to run McCain, I will vote for her in a heartbeat as an independant, and urge everyone I know to do the same, and will campaign with her against McCain.
My fears of Palin are mostly because of her history, and how the left reacts - she’s our Hillary. But McCain is just sleazy and dishonest and scum, and if the RNC supports another Presidential run, I will never vote for or acknowledge the RNC as long as the current crop of politicians running it are still there.
I got news for you. Anybody the GOP nominates will be demonized and called a polarizing figure. Remember how "straight talk express" Juan McCain was transformed from being a media darling until he locked up the nomination into a third term for George Bush by the time September 2008 rolled around?
Sarah Plain is “our Hilary” huh?
That's the biggest piece of BS I have heard in a very long time. Where do you guys get off coming up with this garbage anyways?
Agreed, Bachmann is head and shoulders above Palin in my opinion. Palin is great, I like her, but she is not presidential material in my mind. She is no Reagan, certainly...for those that dare to make a comparison.
As II just said to someone else, for too long the RNC has put up liberals because they think or at least act as if a real conservative can not win.
I am with you on all you said. But I think we need to make sure that the RNC knows at this point that they need to put REAL conservatives up again and stand by them. That is what the people want, not RINO’s ..
They would be amazed at the results, but they seem to be very far removed from what real americans want by the numbers
