So here is what we have to choose from:
1. Romney ( Liberal Democrat )
2. Newt ( Liberal Republican )
3. Santorum ( Republican Republican )
4. Paul ( Conservative Libertarian)
5. Perry ( Conservative Doofus)
6. Huntsman (who’s that guy?)
From this bunch I’m going to vote anyone but Obama this November. Could someone please explain to my why Sarah Palin is sitting this one out?
Now that's funny.
So she wouldn't have to watch her fellow conservatives sit around at a keyboard every day and rip her to shreds.
Maybe because:
She can accomplish more, ATT, under the radar, as a king maker, finding, encouraging new conservatives to get into the game country wide - like last time when we gained nearly 1,000 new seats in state legislatures - and new governors (Like in my state, after 40 years of RAT Rule = we took back all 3 houses. That had a lot to do with Sarah and the Tea Party.
These gains are VITAL.
Also, how many pounds of flesh is she - as you intimate - obligated to give of herself and her family?
She's still too toxic, as to the rabid media, and would bring too much distraction AND she would, ATT, be more valuable in a non-elective position such as in the energy dept...which is a crucial part of our security and independence and in which she has a proven record and expertize. She could hit the ground running, especially with a President Gingrich - The "Drill Here, Drill Now" guy and the "Drill, Baby, Drill" gal.
Sarah was never in it for personal gain. But where she could best help.
You did see that Todd just endorsed Newt? That's a telegraphed message, if ever there was one.
Last, but far from least, she doesn't, as so many seem to think, owe it to us to put herself and her family in that wringer again.
