No, I don't want Sarah in 2010, but I would be thrilled to death to have her win in 2012, and I consider that likely. I have an open mind, and I'd consider other true conservatives who mean what they say. I'm waiting to see them step up to the plate.

Well, I was in your camp (would rather have someone like Sarah after her Repub Convention speech) until I saw the Mike Rogers (Rep, Mich) speech against Obamacare on the House Floor. Evidently you didn’t watch the Mike Rogers video:

The Rogers video has 6,600,000 Youtube views in a few short months and has been termed “viral” due to the level of public interest. We need to put our energies into someone like Mike Rogers (or someone else)instead.
Watch the video and let’s debate the QUALITY of Mike Rogers’s forceful, intelligent argument vs. Palin’s weaker abilities. Let’s debate this on a higher level instead of referring to me as a putz for disagreeing about Palin.
NO FLAMES, OK? In order to be a strong party representing conservative beliefs, you all here need to have a open mind in choosing the strongest opposition against the Obama Thug Regime. Isn’t it OK to post some counterpoints here on the subject of Palin? Evidently not.
I’ve got crossover Democrat/Independent neighbors who sneer at Palin who would otherwise vote for a new face like Rogers or someone else if one came along, but they won’t because Palin is damaged goods (for her provincialism and poor articulation that makes her such an easy target as GWB was).
Let’s not make the same mistake twice with yet another inarticulate candidate (think: Bush, McCain) - in this case, a run-on-sentence speaking Republican candidate. Sure she rallies a certain group of people, but not enough of the Independents and the middle. That doesn’t mean we have to elect a RINO either.
