I like Sarah Palin, a lot.

But she won’t be getting my vote in the primary.

Thune or Pence.

And Sarah will beat Obama just like Angle beat Reid. It isn’t gonna happen.

Pence and Thune - Indiana and SoDak - great men, waste of time. Presidential elections are like product marketing, unfortunately. Obama’s inaugural party will be bigger than the 2008 one.

Don’t you get it? If you don’t support Palin around here, you support Mitt Romney, John McCain and Lisa Murkowski. It doesn’t matter if you want Thune or Pence - because deep down inside, you secretly want Romney to win. /s

I agree. I also like Sarah Palin, but with the amount of vilification and bad press that's she's received, although unfair, it is the way it is, a good many voters are turned off to her.

The role she's playing now suits her fine.

This country needs a soul, not a head.

I can't find a better description of stupidity anywhere on the net than what is not only portrayed on this board but others when it comes to anti-palin thought processes.

The dialogue offered about America is the our Political System is broken and corrupt. A thought that is shared by almost American save for your die-hard socialists.

Now interject the name “Palin” into that process and well you and those like you. all of a sudden claim statu quo?

That my FRiend is the BEST definition of why we are going to hell in a hand basket.

I love Sarah but I’m not sure she should run in 2012, at least not if there’s a strong conservative she can fully support. I don’t know if she’d win but my reasons run more to where she’d do the most good and I think it might be in Steele’s slot or someplace with that kind of influence.

Still, she’s definitely my pick over Huckabee or Romney types. I don’t want to settle again. She’s articulate, tireless, and focused and she’s able to workaround the msm very effectively when she’s not a candidate.

You should keep your eyes on your RINO friend Thune. I had always thought he was a RINO and he's been voting with the RINOs this lame duck session.

Here's an example:

Republican Vote for New Nanny State Regulations on Food Producers

“Here is the list of Obama’s Republicans:

Alexander (R-TN)
Barrasso (R-WY)
Collins (R-ME)
Corker (R-TN)
Enzi (R-WY)
Grassley (R-IA)
Gregg (R-NH)
Johanns (R-NE)
LeMieux (R-FL)
  Lugar (R-IN)
Snowe (R-ME)
Thune (R-SD)
  Vitter (R-LA)
Voinovich (R-OH)”

That being the case, I can understand why you would agree with the author.

I love Sarah too.
However, she can not win.
I think she should replace Stelle as RNC chair.
She is GREAT at raising money, attracting a crowd and she makes a GREAT CHEERLEADER(no pun intended).

[Logic n' Reason]

And Sarah will beat Obama just like Angle beat Reid. It isn’t gonna happen.

Using probablility, IMHO, you're about 98% correct...leaning strongly toward 99%.

“I like Sarah Palin, a lot. But she won’t be getting my vote in the primary.”

I agree 100%. I like her but I don’t want to spend 2012 defending her.

[newfreep]

Thune is RINO-light at best and Pence, although conservative, simply lacks executive experience.

[ejdrapes]

This is true. But unfortunately anyone who doesn’t worship the ground Palin walks on is a RINO, CINO, Romney supporter, etc. We’re just going through the cult of celebrity with Obama. Don’t need to do it again in 2 years with Palin.
