Sarah Palin: She has yet to even announce she is running, but with Huckabee out of the race, Palin's appeal to cultural conservatives may help her immensely. Even with Huckabee in, Palin was the leader in the Evangelical Epicenters and in the Service Worker Centers. But she now may also rise to a "front-runner" position in the Emptying Nests, where there is a strong vein of cultural conservatism.

If she decides to run, that combination of factors could make her a formidable candidate in the early nominating contests of 2012.

Remember everybody: That poll is before Gomer Huckleberry pulled out. Who gets his support with those groups (with or without his endorsement) Willard or Sarah?

JMHO, with the current media climate, any REAL conservative making a statement of candidacy before Christmas ain’t playing with a full deck.

...and I’m not real sure that there are that many who would be able to stand up to “only” a year of the sh**storm that the libs and (mostly) their media pimps are just straining to unleash.

I’m not so sure that all we’re seeing right now is the Whack-a-Mole part of this election campaign, and we’re just getting the novices and wannabes out of the way.

Palin/Cain/West/Bachmann are my ‘Four Horsemen To End The Apocolypse’
The Apocolypse of the Maobama Admin that is.

I'm still in FReepathon mode!

This morning I was watching the news and they made it sound like Michelle might run.

If Michelle runs, I don’t think Sarah will (personally I think they are in “cahoots” about who will be the one).

It’s either Michelle or Sarah. I’d prefer Sarah, but if it’s Michelle, I’m in it ALL the way, just like I would be if it’s Sarah!

And I’m positive Sarah would be in for Michelle. I just pray they choose Lt. Col. Alan West as VP.

CONSERVATIVES!

[FlashBack]

Yep...no more “media-picked” RINO’s!!!

Interesting!! You could be right, but I think Sarah Palin is running regardless of what anyone else does. She's going to be on Hannity tonight and the promo says she's going to "assess" the field of candidates....

I think she has one more nasty, lamestream hit piece to handle --- that Joe McGuiness book --- and then it's off to the races for the thoroughbred!

PBS???????

So used to hearing from so many with PDS around here lately .. this is refreshing ... thanks as always.

Game on!

And what Does a Bachmann run have to do with James A. Garfield? He’s the last Congressman to be directly elected President in 1880-something.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Governor Palin is up to something. She has been relatively quite while the second tier candidates assemble their circular firing squad. My guess is she will let the wannabes knock each other around then announce in a big way.

Stay tuned.

In all honesty, Ms Bachmann’s legislative resume is thin. Lots of talk, little action. We can only speculate how she would govern. Twenty three foster children. God Bless her. Tax Attorney. You go girl. While laudable they don't tell us a darn thing about her ability to govern.
