[I see my hands]

Think about the day Zero is reelected. You will look back on this pathetic slate of contenders for the Republican nomination with derision. Now is the time to take it to them. Now is the time to tell them all to step down.

No Palin, no peace.

Well I am NOT suprised by her decision. She saw this coming. She was trying to PROTECT her family.

[Chances Are]

It's what - 8 months? - till the convention. Grassroots efforts should begin right now for a successful “Draft Palin” movement at said convention.

That means, of course, we must work to insure that (1) no one present candidate has enough votes to win on the first ballot; and (2) behind-the-scenes efforts must begin, and get as nasty as necessary, to insure the party Insiders and RINOs (are they presently one and the same?) do NOT get to pick a milquetoast candidate that has no chance against Obama (or worse, turns out to be worse than him).

This election will, at the very least, probably mark the end of the Republican party as we know it, if it doesn't mark the end of the Republic itself.

We need someone who will upset the applecart, as well as the stats quo, during both the campaign and the general election. This country is in dire straits. The “establishment” is very well entrenched at present, and it's possible that we are about to enter a period where the old answers (i.e., elections, and other old ways of doing things) that worked so well in the past no longer have currency in the present climate.

These are very parlous times, my FRiends, and we must be ready for anything - ANYTHING - that may be coming down the pike.

Stay ready, and keep your powder dry.
