So to have doubts about Palin is to be a Concern Troll? To think she will lose is to be a Blow Out Troll? So what kind of Troll are you? A Shall Not Tolerate Anything But Blind Devotion to Palin Troll?
First of all I fully admit to being a pessimist. I don’t see how any conservative can’t have at least a streak of pessimism in them considering how we keep losing, even when public opinion is on our side. I think Obama will probably be reelected no matter who we put up against him. I hope not. I wouldn’t be so gloomy if I were a GOP talking head, but I think we can be honest here.
You speak of Palin’s courage and expertise. Well I don’t doubt her courage. The amount of hatred and character assassination directed towards her has been stunning, even though it should come as no surprise. Yet she presses on and refuses to buckle. I respect that. I’m not sure about the expertise you speak of, but don’t take that as a knock against her. Lack of expertise seems kind of common for people we elect President. Obama was exceptionally unqualified to be President, yet he won anyway.
You speak of all being lost if Palin doesn’t run and win in 2012. Well that is some doom and gloom I can appreciate! But again I am curious as to why you think she is the only one who can save us? What exactly makes you think that highly of her?
And any talk of saving the nation must include conservative immigration reform. If current trends continue, the conservative movement will face demographic oblivion. To Palin’s credit she says all the right things about border security. But generally her thoughts seems to go no further than what we typically hear from Republicans — illegal immigration bad, legal immigration good. She seems to support a path to citizenship for illegals (amnesty), and I have yet to hear her speak of the need to reform legal immigration. Taken together it suggests she has no problem with high levels of immigration so long as it is all made legal somehow. That’s fine of course...if you support the continuing mass importation of future Democrats.
But again, on this score she would probably be no more worthless than any other Republican who will run next time. And I would say as much about any other candidate. But this is about Palin, and you need to develop a thicker skin or something if this is the way you’re going to react to anyone on the Right who dares to be skeptical or critical of her.
I’d vote for Palin, but after the disastrous George W Bush I don’t think there is anything wrong with being skeptical about the favorites.

I’ll simplify this to the rock bottom, and in that simplification, probably lose some important nuances, but nevertheless here it is:
Palin is the only one of the candidates that have the possible potential to win a national election that does not subscribe to some form of “Illuminism.”
As such she is the only candidate having the liklihood of winning that is worthy of our undoubting trust. She worships none, and has alegience to none, but almighty God.
She doesn’t worship a church, lodge, or ideology; she worships the Lord.
