I like Sarah Palin for President for a number of reasons:

She is charismatic, not a charge that could be laid at the feet of Romney or Pawlenty.

She is conservative. No one even comes close.

She is willing to take on established interests (the ruling elite) and beat them at their own game.

I don’t think any one is crazy enough to mess with her. I’m looking at you NK and Iran).

In sum, she is a great package that is going to be very difficult to beat. If Obama contines on his current path he is going to lose 48 states.

Romney won three states in the primary last time. I see nothing so far that would lead to more states won. I am also very nervous over a Northeasterner running for President as none of them “get” the heartland at all.

Pawlenty has a bad voice and no face recognition. I wouldn’t recognize him on the street.

Jindal is not going to run this time.

Chris Christie is not going to run. Maybe later.

Perry is a possibility. He is going to p!ss off a large number of the right people over the next two years. We need to watch him.

We have a number of other people who are not governors and I am very nervous about running a non governor for President.

Dole and McCain were not governors and both seemed to be out of touch with the electorate. Two of the absolutely worst campaigns that I have ever seen.

Scott? Future. Haley? Future.

Actually I think the real problem is we split our conservative vote between too many candidates, and the establishment RINO then wins by a plurality.

It happens every election cycle; we all get fired up about different conservatives, and then start bickering back and forth about who is “more’ conservative, strengthening our resolve to ‘not compromise’ our ‘principles’.

All the while the establishment candidate is racking up delegates and moving toward the nomination.

See: Nixon, Ford, Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain, and now Romney.

I am sick of the RINO parade and would really like a real conservative this time.

I honestly think we need to come together early behind a single conservative and keep our conservative base strong and united.

This will be very hard to do with the various factions of conservatives.

To me that candidate is Sarah Palin, but if we split our votes and dilute our power, we will hand the nomination to the establishment RINO, just as we did in 2008.

I’m thinking a vote in the primaries for anyone but Sarah is a defacto vote for Romney.
