Bothers me that we have basically two camps of people, instead of one, who supposedly are on the right side of all issues in their feelings of a Sarah Palin candidacy.

There is a third group, and I'd be willing to bet they are the largest.

I’m in the third group. It is illogical to say “the media attacks Sarah Palin for her conservative values, therefore she is the best conservative candidate.” She has many of the right qualities and has the right values. The quality that is most lacking is a steady hand in executive capacity. An executive can’t go it alone like a hunter in the wilderness.

I believe you’d be right about that. I wish we still had FR’s poll function; it’s the one thing I really miss since the Great Crash. I’d like to see a poll asking FReepers who they favor as a presidential candidate with these choices: Jim DeMint, Allen West, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann and maybe a few others. If those were the choices we were given, along with an “undecided” option, I think “undecided” might win.

Since no one knows yet if we’re going to be provided an acceptable alternative to Romney, Huckabee, Gingrich, et al, it’s way too early for sharply divided battle lines to be drawn imo.
