No, no. John Bolton for foreign affairs, not Condi.

Although I do like Condi.

Mitt Romney would be the more logical choice for 2012, but when were politics ever logical?

Romney looks presidential. He was elected governor of Massachusetts in part because he looks almost as good as Obama in a bathing suit.

And Romney has money and gravitas, as they say in Washington. He looks like a winner.

But put Romney on Oprah and see if ratings rise 68 percent.

That last sentence was too true. The rest was revolting.

The only way I'd stand out in the rain for Romney's signature, would be if Sarah Palin appointed him to be Secretary of the Treasury, and I was about to get five one hundred dollar bills.

How do you solve a problem like Newsweak? I have never bought that magazine, but someone left a copy in the break room at work. As I was leafing through it, I was stunned at how truly leftist the writers were. Don’t get me wrong, I know they are all liberals, but to see in writing the garbage they put out as so-called conventional wisdom is truly stunning.

It should be noted that Palin’s op/ed on cap and trade was the 3rd most read op/ed at the WaPo for the entire year. Her latest op/ed on climategate is already the 20th most read op/ed of the year at WaPo.

Does anyone think that if Mitt, Huck, Tim or Newt wrote an op/ed it would have even been noticed?

BTW, Palin’s red jacket at the Laura Ingraham auction is now up to $30,000 having just started yesterday, and still has 6 days to go. Plus, a woman in AL paid $63,000 just to have dinner with Palin, incredible.

“But the presidency is not a one-man - or one-woman - operation. Presidents have to be leaders. She must show she can lead something besides a state.”

Palin has more leadership/management experience than many candidates. I don't count Congressional experience as leadership or management experience. Obama had zero leadership experience - only a political hack.

Everything he said about Romney was true. I’m glad he stopped where he did, because this is a fun, uplifting article, and to continue about Romney.............well, it could only get ugly.

If she decides to run, the test of her leadership skill will be on desplay for all the voters to see.

A Presidential campaign is a mini presidential leadership test.

>>> "The left is scared to DEATH of Sarah. It's a joy to watch them squirm. :)" <<<<

I think that this might be Governor Palin's most endearing quality -- she really riles the far far left Lefies, without even trying.

I wonder though, how much of their vitriol has anything to do with her, but is actually some perversely pathological version of clinical projection.

I think that the Palinistas who so openely adore her are inspired by the far far left Lefties, who the Palinistas intuit must think even less of them than they do of Governor Palin.

There's something about her nature, her utter lack of artifice, her spontaneity, her authenticity that gets under the skin of the RINOs and irritates them to no end, too.

Of course none of these demonstrate presidential qualifications .... but they'll be very difficult to defeat on election day 2012 ....

Shouldn’t paleoconservative Pat Buchanan be rescued from MSDNC and given a position? Where do you think he would be best?

She is still standing - ever stronger!

I hate to say it, but she won't be two years from now......those idiots here that continue to trumpet the "MSM is dead!" delusions are clueless.

CBS alone, without the help of NBC and ABC can easily sway elections; can anyone say "Obama is the president of the United States?".

Case rested.....

Where to put Gingrich?

How about a table at the next state dinner with the "Gate Crashers" and De De Scozzafava.

"A Presidential campaign is a mini presidential leadership test."

Now, that is the argument floated by the current occupant of the Office, and Freepers quickly pointed out the fallacy of his contention.

If Palin (or any other Republican candidate) can become new best friends with the Adamses, Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, etc., and begin sharing their simple passion for liberty and their formula for preserving it, then the American people will enthusiastically embrace such revolutionary ideas.

As citizens, we are looking for a leader who inspires, but it will take more than popularity when a campaign is actually under way, whether a primary or general. Only a principles approach to preserving anything resembling the America we have known will do. Issues-oriented give and take won't change anything, and the people know it. There are no more concise or provocative challenges to the politicians in Washington now than the words of Jefferson, Adams, Washington, et al. We need a revolutionary leader who can help us recognize threats to our liberty and determined leadership to "snuff(ing) out approaching tyranny" (Burke).

Oh yes, I totally forgot --- we must figure out WHO gets to attend events at the Palin White House, but needs no official invite, nor be on any list.

How about Matt Drudge?

I’m talking about Gingrich being invited to the next OBAMA state dinner and put him at a table with Scozzafava and the two so called “gate crashers”. The should have a lot to talk about... such as relevance??
