If she runs, whenever that is (the sooner the quicker), until they change the ground rules of those debates, I hope she stays out of them even though it could be hard to do so. It's another battle front: why should conservatives hand over their their microphone and message to the leftists in the MSM who ask a bunch of stupid questions and not only make themselves look stupid, but more importantly silence the message of the conservative candidates who have the answers for America and instead make them also look stupid and marginalized?

I think the conservative candidates with their head screwed on straight should band together and demand ground rules that include conservative moderators and questions that go the heart of the issues that threaten our country's future. They should also widely publicize these demands to the American people and figure out their own live video debate if they can't get cooperation.

Perhaps even the brain dead drones at CSpan can regognize a leader when they see one (here’s hoping anyway ;-)

[Fund is writing Bachaman’s autobiography. Ofcourse Sarah is not for sale.]

I’ve met John Fund, if that is what you are saying. He let me down on some matters of import.

[prisoner6]

THANK YOU! Not ashamed to say I’ve saved them....especially one of them.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

A couple times now quoting the pster shows but my response is cut?

I see what you mean...it appears the word "pster" has been abbreviated.

[NormsRevenge]

Drudge has it as 'The Big Tease' (abc piece here.)

The latest moving target for the MediaManglers to snipe away at.. nothing new there.

[Free Vulcan]

Me too hee hee! I can’t believe how photogenic that woman is.

[taildragger]

Ok ladies...

Tell me what is up with the jewlery around her neck that looks like a key, Is it a religious or have faith based connotations?

I can't find a picture close enough and my eyes are good, but inquiring minds want to know....

[penelopesire]

Thanks for taking the time to report your showtimes. Now the showtimes here look just as bad as they are!! AT&T was probably trying to suck up to Obama to get their merger through with T- Mobile...and Obama screwed them anyway...lol. I am canceling over this and going to try to get others to as well. It’s obvious what is going on here at least...who knows..maybe Perry pulled some crap..it is Texas.

[TheConservativeParty]

Thanks for the info! What a shame that Mr.Bolton is not as conservative as I thought.

I just watched the repeat of Sarah’s speech on C-SPAN.
This time I stayed for the after speech interaction with the crowd. Sarah signed so many autographs, took so many pictures and quickly chatted with so many people, it was amazing.

[MagUSNRET]

OK....I need clarification here...is it that BOlton thinks the STATES should decide the queer agenda, or that he AGREES with the queer agenda? There IS a difference.......and I am praying he is for the former...

[GlockLady]

you betcha!

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

I support Palin, so I’m in the thread about her speech I just watched.

Well, that's certainly news to me. When did you come around?

[conservativebabe]

Hey there!

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant speech!

Good gawd I love this woman!

If she runs I will work my hands and feet down to bloody stumps to get her elected.

[Iscool]

Now let the head-scratching commence...

No scratching for me...She gave us HER PLAN...AND, she did NOT endorse anyone...Never even spoke in favor of any of the other candidates...

[samiam1972]

I just watched the video of her speech, too. I just love that woman! I’m trying not to get my heart set on her running but even if she doesn’t, as long as she keeps talking and keeps everyone on their toes, I’ll be somewhat happy. Oh, how I am looking forward to this month flying by so I know the ending of her running/not running announcement!

[MagUSNRET]

(GOnna make it harder to dance at her Inauguration, and it wont look good with the strappy sandals, if ya have stumps ;-)
ALSO I am reminded of an old song.......”Work your fingers to the bone, whaddaya get? Bony fingers!” LOL

I admire and respect your passion.........and I agree wholeheartedly!

[PhiloBedo]

I just got done watching her speech on youtube. I was worth the wait...

One thing is for sure, you’ll never hear Gardasil Rick, Mittens, or any of the other candidates give a speech like that!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Well, I collect Sarah's zingers.

Oh good, I'm glad you are. That in itself would make a pretty good book...or reference book.
