I didn’t think she could win, but the last couple of weeks I like what she has done with the media. I now think she could win.

To the person who said it would be easy to beat Barry, don’t underestimate him, especially if a RINO like Romney gets the nom.

If that isn’t a racist killing photo, I don’t know what is.

Obama has pulled us apart. This team would pull us together.

“...Perhaps Sarah should break with history and name her running mate early on in the process. I really like West and think this duo would be great for America.”

I was telling the exact same thing to Mr. Pen the other day...lol. I think it would be a great and exciting strategy and the more I hear West speak, the more I love him. An added benefit would be that when those two are sitting in the WH....black people in this country can have a REAL HERO to look up to and be proud of. Obama is the worst president in the history of this country and that is a very sad thing to have to say about the first black president. West can really help to undo that horrible blip in history imho.

Just a thought.

She has a history...of breaking historical norms...

I fully agree....an early VP anouncement would roll over everyone else...

My preference obviously...would be West...

That is very noticeable.

Also, she keeps her hand straight up and even.... thus she is not taking the Alfa position nor is she being submissive. This indicates that they both see each other as equals.

West pulls her hand in close to his body, a gesture of friendship and her open left hand suggests acceptance.

I better shut up or O’Reeeealy will want me on his show. ;>)

“Without the press covering for him he should be an easy target.Palin can beat the press”

Yes, she can, but I wish that was all she had to beat. There are at least four bigger, or as-big factors against her she will have to overcome to win.

1.The money factor. Obama can go outside the press too, by using the money advantage he is piling up even now.
2.Organization. The unions and move-on have not gone away.
3.The power of the presidency.
4.The fact that a significant percentage of her own political party will work against her if she wins the nomination,
5.The fact that a well-funded spoiler who professes to share most of her views will announce a third-party run.

The worst part of the George Will interview was: "Do you trust Sarah Palin with nuclear weapons?"

I guess he is channeling the RAT campaign of 1964 against Goldwater.

Wouldn’t it be Paliny? ( to the tune of ‘Wouldn’t it be Loverly’)

All we need is a lass somewhere

Who knows first hand the power of prayer.

Someone who’s unafraid to care,

Oh, wouldn’t she be Paliny.

Someone who loves fresh outdoor air.

Who shoots so straight she can split the hair!

Who loves our troops way ‘over there.’

Oh, wouldn’t that be Paliny?

Someone who drives Progressives mad,

Who hacks RINOs off more than a tad!

and makes Conservative hearts so glad?

Oh, wouldn’t it be Paliny?

Oh, so Paliny sitting abso-blooming-lutely still

Watching libs get marched right over and off the Hill.

So, we just need a couple of things:

a fourth estate without corrupting strings,

unforged ballots where Freedom rings,

Oh! Wouldn’t that be Paliny?! Paliny?! Paliny! So Paliny....

Every point you make is valid and applies to all of the other candidates as well. The money factor includes the trillions that Obama and company already have access to by way of now being in control of the US treasury. He does not need to raise a billion as the democrats are putting out, that is just a reason for fund raisers for locals running. Or maybe his golf and vacation expenses. Organization can be had for Palin when she wins the primary and is entitled to all of the resources of the Republican party organization plus the millions of her supporters who will be door to door for her. The power of the presidency is always there for the incumbent and is what it is. A third party run funded by Soros etc. is a probability and another obstacle but not insurmountable for political campaigns who are alert to the situation. The most important item on your list is that the Republican party leaders at this time will most certainly be even more obstinate and forceful in waylaying the Palin bandwagon as they are now doing. This is proof that they know she can win but without themselves directly reaping the benefits. The claim they make is that Sara cannot win when in fact just about any decent candidate the Republicans run can win with the party behind them. If Sara wins the Republican nomination and the Republican party apparatus fails to fullfill their duty to support her candidacy, the Republican party will suffer irreparably. Many party members do not trust the party leaders now, imagine what will be the consequences if Sara is sabotaged and Obama and backers succeed in giving themselves a second term to finish off this Republic. At this point, I will only support the Republican candidate if the primaries are on the up and up and I am confidant that the winner is chosen by the party members, not preselected by a few party leaders who have a vested interest in their own candidate winning. Sara Palin will not want for money, and it will be honest money given by trusting voters to the candidate whom they believe, and expect, to be worthy of their support. Good luck Sara.
