Big grain of salt needed.

Palin / West ‘12

[dirtboy]

Grain of salt the size of an F-150 required.

[Maelstorm]

Rand Paul would be excellent.

[MNlurker]

The speech yesterday only had me more convinced. Rep. Allen West.

At this point I have a feeling that its only a four year term and West runs in her stead in 2016...I see her now as a necessary transitional leader who will give the four years everything she’s got and leave the country in his steady hands.

In some ways a “quitter” ;)

I like Sara but, if she runs, Jesus Christ could be her running mate and it wouldn’t help.

[NoGrayZone]

Personally I would love to see a Palin/West ticket. I believe they are our only hope to getting America back to where we should be.

Palin hired former Bob Dole campaigner Michael Glassner as her chief of staff

From Dole's wildly successful '96 campaign? Great.

"Now the speculationsmears and discoursefabrications about Palin's politics will continue."

Fixed.

[Palmetto Patriot]

This guy is obsessed with her picking a VP from the South.

She won’t need help carrying the South.

I’m hard pressed to think of any Republican needing help down here.

I believe that this election will be won in the Midwest.

“The race for the 2012 Republican nomination for President is becoming more concrete”

Sorry, No personal insult is intended ...but I call total BS on this article.

...even a giant grain of salt is far too little for the tripe that the msm attempts to spin as to current “winners and loosers” on the Republican side, before anyone (other than Herman Cain) has actually formally declared.

[ScottinVA]

Ron Paul would be ideal

Oh, please.. yer killin' me here.

[livius]

Big grain. Frankly, I don’t even think she’s going to run.

So who’s next?

[upchuck]

Bachmann, DeMint, Palin (in alphabetical order :). Any prez/vp combo from those three would be exceptionally good for our country.

[Artemis Webb]

[Mr. K]

PALIN/BACHMAN

unbeatable ticket

[Revolting cat!]

How about Palin/Gilliam, or better yet, if Michael agrees to run, Palin/Palin?!

[McGruff]

Ron Paul would be ideal since he is from a southern state and can get a lot of voters in the huge Lone Star state...

BARF. I'd rather give up Texas.

Maybe William Browning should take a few moments and review the electoral results in Texas for Ron Paul when he’s made statewide runs. He’s a joke in a statewide race. However I don’t really think it matters who would be the VP nominee as Texas will vote in the GOP column for President and a win is all that is needed to secure the Texas EC votes. A Paul landslide isn’t necessary...LOL

“Rubio would also help carry the all-important state of Florida. He is 39 years old and would have just as much energy and spark to run a campaign along with Palin. The downside is that he, like Palin, doesn’t have much experience in actual politics.”
__________

Not much experience in actual politics? What planet has this ignorant Obama voter been living on? Palin has 19 years experience in local, state and national politics, including everything from city council to running for vice president and running a very successful PAC (that got a lot of conservatives elected in 2010). Rubio, despite his relative youth, has over 12 years experience, also at all levels of politics- local, state and national.

These "let's slam Sarah some more" posts are really getting old.

I'm almost to the point of hoping she doesn't run - for the sake of her family and her safety.

Of course, if she doesn't, I hope those whose hobby it is to slam her daily have really enjoyed obama these past years, cause you're gonna get him again...for four more.

She is the only one in the field that would cause a landslide turnout of conservatives. We who follow this stuff daily know about all of the other 'possibles' but the general public just doesn't have the time to research every possible candidate.

It's going to come down to name recognition, and Sarah is the only one out of the possibles who has that right now.

When I think about her running, I'm ready to go vote right now...if she doesn't run, my enthusiasm is going to be a lot less...like voting for John McCain last time.

But there is no point in all of the bickering about it; pick an election bush/clinton...bush/gore....bush/kerry...obama/mccain; it doesn't matter, if we could go back dig out the posts from those we'd see that only the names have changed.

So Sarah, save yourself the hassle...but the day he announces that she is NOT running, watch the focus shift instantly to the next perceived "threat" to the RINO's and the dems. You will mostly likely see Sarah fade into oblivion.

But that doesn't mean YOUR candidate will rise to the top because of it...just sayin'
