I like Sarah. I love her ideas. I just think she does more for conservatism in her current role than she would as Prez.

This kind of statement, that we see usually from the "Anybody but Sarah" crowd here on FreeRepublic, always mystifies me.

When you are POTUS, you have the "bully pulpit". Everyone has to listen to you.

Everyone!

You get to set the agenda.

You get to prevent the other side's agenda via your Vetos.

Like I said it mystifies me.

It seems to be a soft-peddaling way to denigrate her by saying either she is not ready, or incapable of performing the job.

It’s seems like the trolls got here before everybody else! Lol

Like I said it mystifies me.

Let me clarify.

My understanding is that the reason Sarah Palin resigned as governor of Alaska was because of the number of frivolous lawsuits filed against her. She resigned because she didn't want public money used to defend her. (She was also taking a big hit personally, but I don't think that would be much of an issue for a sitting Prez.)

At any rate, the left hates Sarah so much that there would be even more frivolous lawsuits filed. If she was concerned about spending money of the taxpayers in Alaska on these suits, I'm sure she'd be equally concerned about the U.S. taxpayers spending money on lawsuits.

That's my only reason for thinking she probably should not run.
