She’s nice, and she’s constitutionally qualified, but is she really the best that’s out there?
All things considered, YES!
Compared to the rest of the potential field of candidates....yes. Take the time to actually look up her record. She accomplished more in less time than any other governor I know of. Jindal (with whom I am more familiar) has probably done as much in his political career, but that has been a lot longer than Palins.
The purpose of the “polls” is to target those who prefer Sarah but need to be convinced that she can’t win, so they need to jump on the Romney bandwagon. The problem is that there is no Romney bandwagon. The reason is that only Sarah Palin is taking any public position on Obama’s administration. She is the only one that has the ear of the people. Have we noticed that when she says something, it often gets reacted to and even sometimes corrected.
Let’s remember who spoke out about “death panels” and really got the opposition to government health care focused. She is the only one who can explain complex matters in terms that most people can understand. “Death panels”, “Snake-Oil Science”, “Professor” come to mind. She is the only one drawing huge crowds to speeches and appearances. She is the one that gets invited to the Tea Party Nation Convention which indicates that she is the one most in tune with the political wave that will take the Republicans to victory.
But maybe Republicans don’t want victory. Maybe they will ignore the base of the party and select another RINO that has no appeal to draw voters to the polls. They will if they let themselves be fooled by silly polls.

She may be. Our country must drill, baby, drill and become energy independent. We can; we have the resources. We need a leader. Sarah has had her way with oil companies, environmentalist and crooked politicians, some of whom are currently wearing orange as guests of the state. These are the same critters that must be dealt with now. She may, infact, be uniquely qualified and just what the doctor ordered.
The best NEVER get elected. We take what we get.
I will take any principalled conservative over any “well qualified” RINO.
What does qualified mean, anyway? That you have a solid network of special interest lobbyists who have access to you day and night? That you have an exhastible staff who read every bill for you so you never have to read a line of it, and just vote per Pelosi’s dictates.
