We'll have to see what happens with Palin. I'm not one looking for Reagan, nevertheless I see him in her. He raised his message above the MSM with only the Big 3 carrying the news. With new media I think Palin has a very good chance of getting America to hear her message.
My biggest worry for Palin is women. I know many conservative women, and they're split. Half of them love Sarah, half of them are wary. As a woman I can tell you that little girls are in many ways, large and small, conditioned by society to believe men can do things women can't. My parents taught me that unless his privates or physical strength were necessary for the job that wasn't the case, but my raising is an exception to the rule. American women have to get over their own misogyny
Women over 40 have elected every president since granted the right to vote. If the women will look past her genitals and listen to Palin the politician she'll win. If they won't she won't.
As for the teleprompter, he doesn't get one in a debate. Remember he wouldn't debate McCain on the trail? I'm sure that's why. I watched Sarah in the Alaska debates. She's very good on the fly, and will eat him for lunch if she gets the chance.
In the end 2012 is a no-brainer election. Obama must go. If we end up with a RINO we'll deal with that problem when it comes. And though Palin’s my preference the bottom line is anyone but Obama.
I can't agree with that. I'd rather have Obama win reelection than have a RINO at the helm. Obama is an ineffective leader, an uninspiring leader for his party. His punches are generally weak, and his ability to work with anyone other than his personal ego is near zero. Replace him with a RINO, and it would be as if the liberals won the election; party time for the RINO herd to go 'bipartisan' with the liberals and leave the conservatives out in the cold.
Yeah, some things would hurt, but the damage would be mitigated. Someone wants my vote this year, they can campaign for it, primaries and general, and if they don't, tough, might just vote for the other guy.
