Give it up. Vanity record today?

[Boiling Pots]

Screw history, look at Barack Obama.

Now, can we forget about 2012 and focus on 2010, please???

Sarah Palin should go back to Alaska, act as she were (low key, effective) and build a record of accomplishment.

[Perdogg]

You can see a pattern.

[antceecee]

; ~ )

[Tarpon]

Sarah is Sarah, the losers on your list, who were they. She has a real job with real responsibilities. Unlike Obama and slo Joe.

When she decides, she will let us know.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Doesn’t worry me a bit.

If the history isn’t there, Sarah will make history.

What we need to be rid of is Romney and his ilk. Everyone that ran for the nomination in 2008 should be off the table for 2012.

[Perdogg]

this is not a vanity, this “history” under chat.

[svcw]

She has a record of accomplishment...the only one of the four who had actual executive experience.
And more experience in government that Barry the Marxist.
She will be the first woman president of the USA if she so chooses.

[hercuroc]

If Sarah Palin were to run when she reaches Hillary's age the year would be 2024.

She's only 44 years old.

She has many years ahead of her in the running if she chooses.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

Well Palin lose a Lt. Gov race (which is kinda like a state VP) and then she won governor.

[PhiKapMom]

Everyone that ran for the nomination in 2008 should be off the table for 2012.

Concur 100%!

[Perdogg]

I agree. But History is History for a reason. I like Sarah, I was one of her earliest backers and will continue to be.

On September 12, 2001 if someone told you that before the decade was out the American people would elect a President with a name like Barrack Hussein Obama, who had a Muslim father and was educated in a madras and raised in the Islamic tradition for a period of time, you would have said “no way!”

History and precedent seems to mean little now days.

What were Palin’s changes of being a Female Vice Presidential candidate? Let’s see, would that be 2 in how many? There were 72 almost Vice Presidents and 46 Vice Presidents - so 2 in 118 odds??? Yet, she did it. Message in that.

[Boiling Pots]

Right, but it’s too early for 12.

2010 is first.

[Fred]

STOP WITH THE PALIN CRAP ALREADY!!!! Is there some kind of freeper stalking Sarah Palin obsession going on here. Do we have a play misty for me going or what.



CHILL PILL TIME Y'ALL

This is kind of meaningless because most (all?) VP picks are obscure and are of little consequence to the campaign.

Presidential candidates are loath to pick a running-mate who might overshadow them. This is certainly the case with Obama picking Biden.

[Perdogg]

I wake up and ask myself if this is a bad dream.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

She’s different though. However, I don’t want to anoint her. I think we’ll have a better idea of what she wants to do after she does CPAC, which I’m sure she’ll do next year.

We’ve got a number of good people to choose from, which is good. Beats the hell out of last time...lol

I wouldn’t shut her out because she doesn’t match a historical pattern though. Rules were made to be broken. :)
