I`ve been all over the map with Palin, but I think her focus on crony capitalism is brilliant in a Clintonian way--It may be the ultimate qtriangulation` issue because it has attraction for voters of any persuasion. Who is FOR crony capitalism? No one. Who is DOING something about it? No one--and Obama is finally being seen by even some on the left as benefitting from it.

I keep veering between Palin and Perry. Palin simply doesn`t have enough experience, and she quits [don`t bother flaming or arguing, I`ve heard it all and my mind won`t be changed--mayor of Wasilla would make her a laughing stock here were she a dem]. Perry is just wrong where illegals are concerned. Palin SAYS all the right things. Perry puts his money where the Republican Party`s mouth is where abortion is concerned. Their negatives would normally be deal-breakers for me; their positives would normally get me behind them. The rest of the field are non-starters, either is preferrable to Obama.

Another one I like is Herman Cain - he’s new at this and hasn’t got long to catch up - and probably hasn’t got a chance in hell - but maybe he’d be a really good VP.

I sent him some $. I think he’s a worthwhile person.

Also, I agree about the crony capitalism. It’s a legitimate issue and if there is public outrage the establishment will be running from their partners in crime like cockroaches. Palin is so good at driving the message.

Darkwolf: I was thinking today, after resigning to the fact that Palin is not going to run, that I wanted Palin to run for the same reason that a parent wants their child to accomplish goals that the parent is not capable of achieving. I thought to my self, how selfish to place the weight of the World on Palin,s solders.
Later in the evening I saw her Hannity interview, and I thought to my self, how foolish of me, of course she is running.

she quits [don`t bother flaming or arguing ...]

Oh, puh-LEEZE. What that tells me is that I don't need to bother to finish reading your post. She resigned for TWO very good reasons: 1) to avoid being forced into personal bankrupty and 2) to avoid seeing her Administration wasting man-hours and tax dollars responding to a strategic attack of frivolous lawsuits whose SOLE PURPOSE was to drive her to personal bankruptcy (she wasn't allowed to use a defense fund set up by her supporters) and to paralyze her Administration by making it expend so much energy on required responses to the ridiculous lawsuits on such things as what logo she was wearing on a t-shirt, or holding up a fish during a speech.

The enemies that launched that below-the-belt attack KNEW THAT FOLKS LIKE YOU would perceive Palin badly no matter what she'd done -- if she'd NOT resigned, you'd be right here criticizing her for being so inept that she had to declare personal bankruptcy and for costing her state so much money dealing with lawsuits filed against her -- you'd be saying she should have gracefully bowed out (aka, "quit") rather than use the dime and time of Alaskan taxpayers to defend her political ego.

YOU have been manipulated, and would have been regardless of what Palin had done.
