being popular with a base that is obviously in the minority does not translate to her winning anything.

First of all, conservatives are the majority in this country. Always have been, and will continue to be so, for quite some time.

The problem is, they're not in the majority in elective politics. That's what we, the conservative majority in America need to fix. And we start by getting behind the very best players on our bench and pushing with everything we've got.

If Palin elects to run in the 2016 primary, she will be the hottest ticket on the line-up. Of that, there is no doubt. There's also no doubt that she'll attract more flak than any other person running -- a lot of it even from our side. I personally think that will only serve to weed out the RINOs and Dem collaborators in our camp, so there's a sort of plus to it.

People tend to forget a player's strengths when they haven't seen them on the field in a while. Just let her set her mind to winning the job and see what happens. You'll be reminded again and again of what an extraordinary, accomplished person she is. Doubts about her fitness for office will go running down the gutters and into the storm drains.

and people who love their country are in the voting minority.

She says what needs to be said and I can support that

One thing: I don't believe she will run if Cruz runs, I have nothing to prove that, just a hunch based on her desire to bring conservative governance back to America.

I concur. Just a gut instinct on my part, but I don't think Cruz will jump in if he has any fair warning that Sarah is going to. Same with Sarah.

You’re absolutely right. I misspoke. My mind always goes straight to the teeth of the matter, the trial. Without it there’s no point. Thanks.

Well, in the old days it at least resembled a newspaper with the familiar blue background in the headline. Now you look at it, there’s these weird color circles and crap.

They seem to have a mutual admiration and friendship that would prevent them from running against each other. I'm guessing they will discuss it more than a couple of times between now and the starting gate.

Whichever one runs (yes, it's early to say that), I'm believing the other will support 100%, plus will be a big part of the next administration.

Thank you, but let me just say that it's not blind faith I have in Palin. My faith in her is based upon watching her perform on the national stage for the last five years and seeing people's reactions to her.

She's also got a sterling record of accomplishment in public service that goes back over two decades. The lady is the total package, and would be a formidable force if she chooses to run.

What's happening here is pretty much my FR Page (click my name) revisited. Plain and simple: you are just so un-hip, so totally square, if you like Palin. You have no idea what she actually says because you only hear what other people say she says, but whatever it is, you're so hopelessly square to believe it because it's Palin! It's just too uncool.

The few folks dumb enough to have politics informed by Imus probably don't, or wouldn't take the trouble, to vote anyway, without being hounded and rounded up, or they're a loudmouthed beligerent liberal minority. Americans are smart and would vote smart if they had it to vote for.

Yep. They're both far too savvy to set us up for a loss to the GOP-e in the primary.

So the majority of the people in the United States are going to allow the biggest crime in all of American history to go unpunished?

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY must so many fall into the trap that “elected office” or some “cabinet” position is the only way Sarah can have a second act. Hell, she’s on about act 5 now and she’s one of the most vital resources we conservatives have….but ONLY if she stays in her current job…which is one her media enemies created and one which only she can fill:
The job of being Sarah Palin. It pays damned well, and she had a fantastic amount of influence RIGHT WHERE SHE IS.

Sounds like something I heard recently in a documentary: “The Beatles job was being the Beatles, which kept evolving.”
