Move Over "Palin Power",Here Comes "Pence Power"?Is Mike Pence The Dark Horse?

Posted on 09/18/2010 8:35:06 PM PDT by JohnThune2012

So What Do You All Think Of "President Mike Pence"? What A SURPRISE He Won The STRAW POLL!! Amongst all the potential candidates,He appears to be the Most Presidential.In a way,Mike Pence can be described as "The Conservative John Kennedy".The Tea Party Movement is looking for the next Ronald Reagan and John Kennedy.Mike Pence would be an ideal candidate being he represents the Rust Belt.What are your views on Mike Pence,and who would make an ideal VP? Paul Ryan?

Actually a “Mike Pence” “Paul Ryan” type candidate would be ideal in this election. We need a candidate that will appeal to college students,women,and the elderly.Mike Pence,Thune,Rubio and Ryan are all in that mix.

Palin didn’t blew off the event she can’t be at two places at once, she was in Iowa at their request....BTW these straw polls are manipulated by staff members of these guys pushing people to vote one way or the other, if it was so then Mitt an Ron Paul are your top two leaders...they always astroturf these polls to get the best outcome.

Well I was actually quoting an article from earlier today. And really, no need to explain manipulation of numbers to me. Didn’t mean to upset your world.

well now we can all expect the Mike Pence story to be a hot topic on Hannity and Greta come Monday! I hope he’s able to make an appearance on either program. In my opinion,if he chooses to run,Obama will be out of the spotlight FOREVER!and his approval rating will hit 35% by Christmas.

HAHA! I’m not mad....i’m just saying that all politicians use and manipulate the straw polls to get a result out of them...I like Pence btw but a straw poll does not mean that people like Pence over Palin or vice versa if Palin came out on top....

Didn’t that weirdo Ron Paul win some kind of Presidential straw poll recently?

I believe that was a "Straw Pile" not a "Straw Poll".

Pence was very good but my fave was Michelle Bachmann. Stunning.

Scroll the bar up to the 48 minute mark of this video and settle back in. She is brilliant.

How ironic if something that Sarah did so much to inspire ends up being something she will never really run.

Thanks, PaleoBob!!!
I’m glad you posted the link here, but I made sure I saw Michele (one L) on C-SPAN!

Oh, it will be Sarah Palin at the end of the day. Pence is a good man and would be a great Speaker. But Palin is the one. This isn’t even a close call. Like another Freeper likes to say, “Re-Elect Palin 2016.”

Pence would be a decent VP for Palin, but I think she'll pick a woman. Palin is the next President, so get used to it. She's already won it hands down.

That vote was fixed by the Rovian RNC, Palin won it by 3-to-1 over second place Huckabee, Pence actually came in eighth.

I hope so! I think she’d do for the USA what they all thought zero would but couldn’t do.

Pence is a good guy. The house needs good guys.

I don’t support any congressmen or senators for president. If they are keepers, they should stay in the fight right where they are.

No matter how we as conservatives feel about any one person and their viability, historically the House of Representatives has not been a breeding ground for winning
Presidential candidates.

Mike Pence will be no different in this regard....well thought of, respected, but not considered presidential material by more than just a few. JMHO backed by the historical record...

Like a previous poster noted straw polls in Sept 2010 have little or no relevance to Nov 2012.....

Mike Pence.....Speaker of the House! Yeah! Jan 2011....I hope he persues that position!

If Palin gets the nomination, I very much doubt she’ll pick a female veep.

On her worst day Sarah will do 10 times more for America than Obama will on his best. (In fact, I don’t even know that Obama can have a “best” day.)

Hey. One of the joys of being a retired reporter is being free to cavalierly misspell names, omit titles, muddle places, NOT look up anyone’s age, etc etc etc LOL.

Oh dear, I hadn’t even noticed you spelled it with two ll’s.

I always post that with every post I make about her!

I’m sorry.
