After Tuesday’s showing of a weak candidate (O’Donnell) and a stronger candidate (Angle), can we please pick someone other than Palin in 2012? It wasn’t their principles that lost - as pure conservatives won elsewhere (Toomey), but the candidates themselves who lost.

I love her policies and her principles. But I don’t want to brainwash myself into thinking she’s electable merely because she’s conservative like we did with O’Donnell and Angle. I talk to too many people who want Obama out who say they couldn’t vote for her. I know, the plural of anecdote is not data, but I think we, as conservatives, should take Tuesday’s election as a lesson.

Women hate women, or the queen bee syndrome if you like. That is why liberal or even moderate women heads might explode when the subject of Sarah Palin comes up.

Sarah is 46 years old. She may do best to take the Secretary State position in 2012, which will set up a run for the Presidency in 2020. She will be 56 then.

Who is this “we” you refer to?

Sarah Palin isn’t a candidate, but if she becomes one, that’s what Primaries are for.

Palin is far better than Odonnel or Angle, she is tearing it up out there like nobody else, and has enormous influence. The primaries will decide, if you are correct that there are too many conservatives that cannot vote for her then she will lose in the primaries. If she wins and is the nominee, she will obliterate Obama.

Where was Obama 26 months before the presidentail election???

It seems to me that it was all about Hillary then.

Wait a while and let Sarah get some exposure. Right now many people only know the Sarah created by the LSM. The real people are going to get their eyes opened and will not be happy that they have been manipulated and lied to.

Man, that is a weak position/argument you have there.

What is it about you PDS sufferers that you think you have to open your mouth and find any nit-picking thing to try and slam her?

The vast majority of the people she endorsed got elected and if it wasn't for her energy and fearlesness and tireless campaigning for good Tea-Party back candidates, we would be looking at a lot less of a victory margin today.

Get over your dislike for her and quit trying to spin what is positive to a negative because it is her.

Palin had a list of 20 house members she was supporting who were running in districts that went for McCain but the Democrats won.

Of those 20, 18 won.

Sarah had also endorsed the following people who won as well:

1. Rubio - Florida Senator
2. Rand Paul - Kentucky Senator
3. Susanna Martinez - NM Governor


If you are going to base your argument on a set of facts, make sure you aren't cherry-picking your facts to support your conclusion.

You sound like Karl Rove.

Palin has put forth a rather impressive performance, showing off a ratio of 29 wins to 17 losses (five races such as Alaska Senate and Minnesota Governor, as well as some smaller congressional races are still awaiting official results).

So you completely disregard the voters who chose a liberal over conservatives in those races?

Reid, Boxer, Fwank are all awful people and worse candidates who win due to the fact that we have to co-exist with idiot liberals.

Those bad candidats so many love to harp on won their primaries. What imaginary ctiteria do you all draw from?

She’s a helluva lot smarter and politically saavy than either Angle or O’Donnell and would not make the gaffs they made. Also, if she was that unelectable the left would not be so concerned with writing story after story about how unelectable she is. They would be pushing her to get the nomination. Besides, I really don’t think she is going to run...

You might want to change your tagline, if you want any credibility here. The NRA supported Harry Reid.

As a proven election winner with 18 years in politics, and as a politician that became the most popular Governor in America, and after leading conservatives to one of our greatest electoral victories Tuesday, and as an already popular, front runner for the 2012 election, Governor Palin is an excellent choice, and a proven winner.
