If Palin ends up being the nominee, I'll support her. How can I know right now that I will support her in the primary when I don't even know who is going to run? I want to see who decides to get in the mix and find out more about them. In no particular order, and not taking into account length of service, electability, and what they have said about running, these names have been floated about: Jim DeMint, Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, Mitch Daniels, Paul Ryan, Haley Barbour et. al. Maybe one of these fellows will prove to be up to the task. I think it's premature to jump on the Palin bandwagon when not one debate has been held and not one candidate has said they are running. I do know that I don't want any of the 2008 runner-ups. We need fresh.
I think it's pretty mean-spirited to call for people to be banned. The competition of the primary will hopefully, this time, leave the best man or woman standing.
