That’s a little too coy...Surely, there will be several who will step up.

I like Sarah, and I mean no disrespect. I think its good she distracts the enemy and attracts this attention...

I would however like to see more choices in the primaries, and better choices than we had last time...and hear them all talk about issues, policy... Simple popularity and enthusiasm are not enough.

Not saying that Sarah has nothing more to offer...I am just suspicious of any effort to pick anyone this early. I want our candidate to be fully vetted. Not like the way some parties chose their candidates.

I want the smartest, strongest conservative. And if that’s Sarah, well, fantastic...But the race is a long way from even beginning, much less ending.

Duncan Hunter was willing and able to talk about the issues, but nobody wanted to hear what he had to say because he made too much sense.

Not Coy, she's announcing without announcing.
Nothing Coy about it. She won't announce till after the mid terms, but she doesn't want it to be a shock when she does.

You said “I want the smartest, strongest conservative”

Who would that be, you obviously don't think it's Palin or you would have said so. According to the media, we've got the smartest president we've ever had.

How about common sense Conservative for a change, somebody that governs exactly like they said they would. It doesn't take a genius, it takes a leader...

I don’t think by “step up” she mean just any one willing to run, but someone she could wholeheartedly get behind of, someone who would lead the country in the direction she knows it needs to go.

I think a big part of her doesn’t want to run, because she knows how much it will cost her, she can live a much more enjoyable life doing what she does now for the rest of her life. But there is another part of her that knows this country is in deep trouble and more may be required of her. So she’s hoping someone else can step up so she doesn’t have to, but also willing to step in if nobody else will.

Oh, there will be many who step up. My concern is why? Will they seek the office to amass power? or will they serve their country by restoring power to the people?

Palin has been thoroughly vetted. She thinks outside the box. She has led on every issue since resigning as governor. She is reform minded and results oriented. She is Reaganesque in her approach to economics and foreign policy and she appeals to social conservatives. The best part though is that Sarah Palin would run for the right reason, she simply feels a need to serve. I find her attitude refreshing.

But she didn't say she wouldn't still run in that situation, just that she'd run if nobody else did.

One thing you can say for sure is that Palin is completely vetted. We know the attacks on her and how she has fought on and become stronger. Just remember any other Republican is in waiting for the onslaught. The question remains how they will be able to take it. I’m loving Palin and her toughness and the fact they don’t know how to deal with her in their desperation. She’s at the top of my list and I hope she runs because she’s only gotten stronger.

So you’re “concerned” is that it?
