I hope the candidate who beats Obozo has plans on how to quell the riots in the inner cities.

There is no hate factor here. The left is looking for a republican candidate they can take down guaranteed. We know it’s Romney. They want Palin. They better pray she doesn’t get in the race.

“How about Michelle Bachman or Sarah Palin with Herman Cain as a VP.”

I’d like the top or bottom of the ticket to have been a governor of a state.....for at least one term. I love Cain and was onboard with him the first day. I want him in the administration but I can’t see him as VP if either of those two ladies win the Presidency because they are going to need someone close who has some experience running a government.

Especially if it’s Bachmann.

But how about this for kicks; Cain as POTUS with (now hear me out) Romney as VP......NOT because I like Romney but because they’d split all the blue states with Obongo/JoJo.

With Cain bein’ a good ol’ southern boy, Romney the NE blueblood? Electoral gold my FRiend. Could be a 40 state whuppin’.

The baby makes many women uncomfortable...fifty million abortions since 1973...the killers still walk among us.

Sarah loves being a woman and doesn’t have an axe to grind against guys. Rubs the libbers the wrong way.

Sarah Palin

53%

How about ALL of the above!

Amen. Shouldn't this be the position of anyone who loves our great country? Four more years of Obamanomics is going to destroy my small business - I'm going to be involuntarily "going Galt" if the Marxist-in-Chief is re-elected.

I voted for Palin, but heck, Sponge Bob Square Pants (not to be confused with “Square Bob Sponge Pants” Dole) would make a strong contender against Obama these days.

LOL! Yep. I just heard... ;)

Uhhh . . . let me think!

Surprising that Santorum is doing well in this and did ok in Iowa.

If Bachman folds, Palin stays out, and Perry turns out to be the rino so many here are preaching (still keeping an open mind)....maybe Rick?

Perhaps liberal women, but they aren't going to vote for her anyway so why should she try to impress them? As a woman, I like that she could walk in to my home right now and not even flinch at the toys on the living room floor. If my son ran by in his undies (potty training), she would just laugh and probably make a comment about dealing with the same thing with her kids. Why? Because she more than likely potty trained her kids. Hillary, Nancy, and the wives of the Repub candidates would shudder at all of this. They would have to fake their smiles at my decor because I have no antique Louis XIV furniture displaying Waterford crystal bottles of top shelf liquor. You know these women never potty trained a child, that is what their help was for. Sarah is liked by conservative women. That is because she is just like one of us.

Sarah up to 54%.

Why is being a longtime politician considered good experience for a person we support for president?

Being a housewife is an honorable and difficult job. Sarah Palin should be very proud of that. Then getting into government as a city council member, governor and vice-presidential candidate is remarkable. To top it off, she take’s a huge risk by completely supporting and growing a movement like the Tea Party. To me, her record of accomplishment is unmatched.

Funny you should mention Charlie Manson.

Looks like his race war is much closer than any of us ever imagined.

Obama-phones and flash mobs....

I hope the candidate who beats Obozo has plans on how to quell the riots in the inner cities.

No problem! Build a big tall wall around the inner cities, lock'um in and let it burn!

I see the Republicans battling it out to see you wins and may the best man/woman win. Then actively campaigning together to take back the Senate with 15 new senators and massive gains in the House again. I think this is very doable and has to happen to save America.
