Of course Palin can win. But frankly, I'm tired of looking at photos of Sarah Palin as a beautiful, sexy, diva. It does not help her to win anything, except for the biological "affections" of the horny. I like Sarah Palin, her courage, spirit and love of America. But a little more brilliant, inspiring, politically savvy conversation and a little less "cover girl" stuff would help her a lot. I think of other capable and successful female leaders, like Margaret Thatcher, Michelle Bachman, (who's also very pretty but attires herself conservatively, not as a 'diva'), and Germany's Angela Merkel. Palin also needs to take very seriously her voice tone and her 'hyper' style of speaking when giving speeches, she needs vocal practice, (just like successful singers and actors do), and some adjustments to her whiney sounding voice. Also, she often shouts when she need not to. Think of Reagan, and his perpetual calm and cool voice, with a great sense of humor.
All that said, Palin would probably make a very good President, especially if she surrounded herself with some highly competent advisors and Cabinet members, who are also TRUSTWORTHY, and not out to write a book about Palin after quitting 18 months into their post. Palin has her heart in the right place, and she's strong and a natural fighter. I love her faith and her loyalty to Todd and family, and to our Constitution. But when going head-to-head with an experienced President, (which Obama will be by then), who has a deep, manly voice and speaks with authority, and who has the media on his side, who will have an endless supply of money, and who will pull every filthy, rotten, stinkinig trick in the book, (including getting hundreds of thousands, or millions, of illegal votes), I think Sarah will have a very difficult time of going head to head with Obama and winning the debates thoroughly enough to take him down. Though I hate the Communist Obama's every policy, and detest his arrogance, it's going to take a strong, highly capable man to beat him, due to the above advantages he will use to the hilt. (Hell, already Warren Buffet is extolling the economic abilities of Obama, and he'll get many more such significant endorsements too.
I'd like to see a Pawlenty / Palin ticket, or a Rick Perry/Palin ticket, or a Santoram/ Palin ticket, with Palin as VP. (or possibly replace Palin with Bachman as VP with those men).
Obama is eminently beatable, he's like a powerhouse baseball team who has won the previous World Series, but who has suffered the loss of their Ace pitcher and their best run producer during the off season. He's limping, and he's beatable.
I personally find the notion of Gov Palin as anybody`s VP,offensive.
Palin needs to be on the top of any ticket.
Sarah will be on the top of the ticket or she won’t be on the ticket. She won’t play second fiddle to anyone’s campaign this time around.
And besides she can make coffee, and in a pinch she could whip up a batch of cookies when the men get together for serious political discussion.
